Thesis advisor: Zhifeng Ren / Thesis advisor: Krzysztof Kempa / Many different techniques are available to create nanopatterns in nanoscale devices. However, a few are flexible and inexpensive enough to be practical in the nanotechnology. Here, we study the nanosphere lithography (NSL) based on a self-assembly of microspheres. Using this technique, we have developed various patterns in metallic films, ranging from honeycomb arrays of "quasi-triangles" to circular holes. These various patterns have been used subsequently either as nano-optical structures directly, with remarkable optical and plasmonic properties, or as substrates for further nano-processing. In one such nano-processing, the "quasi-triangle" patterns were used as a catalyst for carbon nanotube growth. The resulting aligned arrays of carbon nanotubes were employed in nanocoax solar cells. In another nano-processing, the arrays were used as masks for electrodeposition. In addition to the nano processing and measurements, we have employed the FDTD computer simulations, to develop a full understanding of the nano-optical and plasmonic properties of the developed structures. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2011. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Holographic lithography is a new technique developed for the fabrication of threedimensional photonic crystals in polymer. Four coherent laser beams are interfered to generate a three-dimensionally periodic interference pattern in a film of photoresist. Subsequent processing steps render a three-dimensional photonic crystal, whose structure is commensurate with the original interference pattern. Two interference patterns are discussed in detail: a face-centred cubic pattern with a conventional lattice constant of 922nm in air and a face-centred cubic pattern with a conventional cube side of 397nm in air (interference wavelength 355nm). Three types of basis are presented for the interference pattern with a 922nm lattice constant: a righthanded, a left-handed and a non-chiral basis. Photonic crystals have been fabricated with both a chiral and a non-chiral basis and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Optical transmission measurements are presented for the non-chiral photonic crystals and are interpreted in both a Bragg scattering model and a photonic bandstructure model. A 'GaAs' and a 'diamond' basis are presented for the interference pattern with a 397nm lattice constant. Photonic crystals have been fabricated with the 'GaAs' basis and evaluated by scanning electron microscopy.
