Description
- This application is a Continuation-In-Part of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/850,169, filed May 18, 2004 and published as US 2004/0265548 A1 on Dec. 30, 2004, which is a non-provisional application claiming the priority of provisional U.S. Ser. No. 60/472,377 filed May 20, 2003, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- The present invention relates in general to nanomaterials. More particularly, it relates to metal dot arrays and fabrication methods thereof.
- In recent years, the science involving the manufacturing and applications of nanomaterials has become one of the most promising and creative research areas. One convenient way to prepare materials at nanoscale dimension is to provide nanopatterned templates, i.e., “nanopatterns” with periodic porous nanostructured articles, for the growth of nanomaterials. These nanopatterned templates can be considered as “nanoreactors” for producing nanomaterials. More recently, extensive studies to exploit the concept of nanoreactors have been carried out in different research areas, and wide varieties of nanomaterials and nanoarrays have thus been obtained. Different methods for nanopatterning such as photolithography, soft lithography, scanning probe lithography, electronlithography (i.e., top-down methods) and self-assembly of living cells, surfactants, dendrimers and block copolymers (i.e., bottom-up methods) have been proposed and examined.
- A novel method for making nanopatterned templates which utilizes oriented degradable block copolymers is described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/850,169 (Publication No. 2004/0265548 A1), entitled “NANOPATTERNED TEMPLATES FROM ORIENTED DEGRADABLE DIBLOCK COPOLYMER THIN FILMS”. The invention is generally directed to applications of the nanopatterned templates for making nanoarrays by electroplating methods.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a method for fabricating a metal nanodot array is provided. A film of a block copolymer is deposited on a conductive substrate. The block copolymer comprises first polymer and second polymer blocks, wherein the first polymer blocks self-assemble into a periodically ordered morphology. The first polymer blocks are selectively degraded to form a nanopatterned template comprising periodically ordered nanochannels. By electroplating, metal is deposited into the nanochannels that expose the conductive substrate, thus forming a metal nanodot array.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a metal nanodot array is provided, which comprises a conductive substrate including conductive areas and non-conductive areas, and a metal nanodot array selectively disposed on the conductive areas of conductive substrate.

FIG. 11 is a EDS (energy-dispersive spectrometry) mapping image showing Ni deposition in nanochannels of PS-PLLA template. - In the invention, a metal nanodot array is electroplated on a conductive substrate via a nanoreactor. First, referring to
FIG. 1 , athin film 102 of degradable block copolymer is deposited on aconductive substrate 100 by spin coating. The copolymer comprises first polymer and second polymer blocks, incompatible with each other. By selecting appropriate solvent for spin coating, the first polymer blocks 102 a self-assemble into a periodically ordered morphology surrounded by matrix of thesecond polymer blocks 102 b, as shown inFIG. 2 . Preferably, the first polymer blocks 102 a have a hexagonal cylindrical morphology with its axis perpendicular to thesubstrate 100. Subsequently, thefirst polymer blocks 102 a are selectively degraded by hydrolysis to form ananopatterned template 104 comprising periodically orderednanochannels 103, as shown inFIG. 3 . Thenanochannels 103 expose the underlyingconductive substrate 100, allowing subsequent electrochemical deposition. - The first polymer blocks 102 a may comprise poly(L-lactide), poly(D-lactide), poly(lactide), and the
second polymer blocks 102 a may comprise poly(styrene), poly(vinylpyridine), and poly(acrylonitrile). Preferably, the block copolymer is poly(styrene)-poly(L-lactide) (PS-PLLA) chiral block copolymer, wherein the first polymer is poly(L-lactide) and the second polymer is polystyrene. In such a case, well-oriented, hexagonal cylindrical nanochannel arrays can be obtained by using a sodium hydroxide solution of methanol/water at about 50-60° C. for the hydrolysis of PLLA. Further details of forming thenanopatterned template 104 can be found in the copending application U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/850,169 (Publication No. 2004/0265548 A1). - The
conductive substrate 100 used herein includes bulk conductive substrates or non-conductive substrates having an uppermost conductive layer. Theconductive substrate 100 may be transparent or non-transparent. Examples of transparent conductive substrate include indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) glass substrates. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , after formation of thenanopatterned template 104, thenanochannels 103 are filled withmetal 105 by electroplating. Themetal 105 may be any of a variety of metals or metal alloys. In particular, when themetal 105 is to provide nucleation points for growing carbon nanotubes (CNT), Ni, Co, Fe, Mo, W, Pd, or alloys thereof are preferable. Furthermore, according to the invention, two or more different metals can be sequentially deposited by electroplating to form multi-level metal studs within thenanochannels 103. Although electroplating can be carried out by various electroplating techniques well known in the art, pulse electroplating is particularly preferred. For example, a constant-current pulse electroplating technique may be employed, characterized in that the plating current is controlled at a constant level and the representative waveform involved is a square wave. The current on/off ratio is usually less than 10, preferably about 1:0.1-15. - Current densities and electrode surface potentials may vary depending on the specific substrate to be plated. Generally, anode and cathode current densities may vary within a range of from about 103 mA/cm2 to 10−5 mA/cm2. Plating baths are maintained in a temperature ranging from about 20° C. to about 110° C. Specific ranges vary depending upon the metal being plated. Plating is continued for a time sufficient to form a deposit of desired thickness. Generally, plating time for a metal nanodot array is from about 10 to about 106 seconds. For CNT manufacture, desired thickness of the
catalytic metal 105 may range from about 1 to about 50 nm. - Referring to
FIG. 5A , after electroplating, thenanopatterned template 104 may be removed by salvation, oxidation, selective etching, reactive ion etching (RIE), or combustion, leaving an array ofmetal dots 105 on theconductive substrate 100. Themetal nanodot array 105 can be used in production of arrays of CNT or other nanoscale objects such as silicon nanowires. For example, in the combustion method, the substrate may be placed in a furnace and heated to about 350° C. at combustion atmosphere (e.g., air or oxygen). After removal of thenanopatterned template 104, the furnace temperature is ramped up to about 500° C. for in-situ growing CNT arrays. - Rather than removing the
nanopatterned template 104, referring toFIG. 5B , a subsequentconductive layer 106 may be blanketly deposited on themetal dot array 105 and thenanopatterned template 104. In this case, theconductive layer 106 is electrically connected to the underlyingconductive substrate 100 through themetal dots 105 while thenanopatterned template 104 serves as insulator. Theconductive layer 106 may be deposited by well known methods such as sputtering or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In addition, theconductive layer 106 may be further patterned into a desired portion of integrated circuits, such as bonding pads or interconnect wirings. In such a case, theconductive substrate 100 is a semiconductor substrate with partially completed circuits thereon. -
FIGS. 6-8 illustrate another embodiment of the invention, wherein the metal dots are selectively deposited within nanochannels in specific areas. Referring toFIG. 6 , theconductive substrate 200 of this embodiment comprisesconductive areas 200 a andnon-conductive areas 200 b. Such a substrate can be obtained, for example, by patterning the ITO layer of a ITO glass substrate. Ananopatterned template 204 is then formed on the substrate with periodically orderednanochannels 203. Next,metal 205 is selectively deposited within thenanochannels 203 that expose theconductive areas 200 a by electroplating. Removal of thenanopatterned template 204 reveals thenanodots 205 with a specific pattern on the substrate. - Accordingly, by providing a patterned conductive substrate, metal dot arrays can be selectively deposited in predetermined areas. For example, for FED displays, the conductive areas may be formed as a periodic array with an interval of about 1-300 μm for optimal electron emission properties. One advantage of the invention is that by the choice of predetermined conductive/non-conductive pattern of the substrate and the nano-reactor, the nanoscale dots array can be selectively arranged in a microscale pattern, which makes control of the CNT growth density become possible. Although
FIGS. 6-8 comprise a periodic array of rectangularconductive areas 200 a, it should be understood that any shape, spacing, or layout ofconductive areas 200 a can be utilized such that the physical properties of the array are suitable for use in a device of interest. - Without intending to limit it in any manner, the present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples.
- Block copolymer PS365-PLLA109 (ƒPLLA ν=0.25) was prepared by living free radical and ring opening polymerization in sequence. Detailed synthetic routes are described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/850,169 (Publication No. 2004/0265548 A1). On the basis of molecular weight and volume ratio, the PS-PLLA is designated as PSx-PLLAy (ƒPLLA ν=Z). x and y represent the numbers of repeating units for PS and PLLA blocks measured by NMR, respectively, and z indicates the volume fraction of PLLA calculated by assuming densities of PS and PLLA are 1.02 and 1.248 g/cm3. The molecular weight of PS and PLLA were 38200 g/mole and 15700 g/mole, respectively. The polydispersity of PS-PLLA was determined 1.21.
- A thin film of the block copolymer was formed on ITO glass by spin coating from dilute solution (1.5 wt % of PS-PLLA) at about 50° C. at a spin rate of 1500 rpm. Well-oriented, perpendicular hexagonal cylindrical nanochannel arrays were obtained using a 0.5M NaOH solution, which was prepared by dissolving 2 g of NaOH in a 40/60 (by volume) solution of methanol/water at 60° C.
FIG. 9 andFIG. 10 are top view SPM and cross-section FESEM images, respectively of PS365-PLLA109 thin films on ITO glass after 120 hours hydrolysis at 50° C. - The cylindrical nanochannels within PS-PLLA template were filled with Ni metals by electrochemical deposition. An electrochemical analyzer operated in chronopotentiometry (CP) mode (CH Instruments, Model 627B) was used. Constant current deposition was performed at room temperature with a conventional three-electrode setup, using a 3M AgCl reference electrode, DSA (Ti/IrO2) counter electrode, and PS-PLLA coated-ITO/glass working electrode. The electrolyte contained NiSO4.6H2O, NiCl2.6H2O, and H3BO3. The direct current and deposition time were 10−5 A and 10,000 seconds respectively. The current on/off ratio was 1:5.
FIG. 11 shows that the deposition of Ni indeed occurred in all the nanochannels as evidenced by EDS (energy-dispersive spectrometry) mapping. - While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
