Nanolithography with molecules using advanced scanning probe microscopy methods

Jirlén, Johan January 2018 (has links)
The possibilities of novel catalytic scanning probe lithography (cSPL) on starch using α-amylase was investigated. For this thin homogeneous layers of starch with good coverage were prepared by spin coating a starch solution on a silicon base. Amylase immobilized to an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever tip were prepared and dragged along a spin coated starch surface. This after verifying the enzyme immobilization method using (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) on a silicon surface. In addition an unmodified cantilever tip were dipped in amylase solution and were dragged along a starch surface to investigate possibilities of dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). The preliminary experiments with AFM based enzymatic lithography were promising but non-conclusive. There are still many parameters not fully explored such as water availability, activity and reach of the amylase, speed of the enzymatic process and difference in structure between the starch and the shorter saccharides that are left after the hydrolysis

Nanolithographie par sonde locale catalytique : une approche bottom-up pour la nanostructuration de surfaces organominérales / Catalytic scanning probe lithography : a bottom-up approach allowing the nanostructuration of organomineral surfaces

Botton, Julien 17 December 2015 (has links)
Face à la quête constante de miniaturisation, les nanosciences ont connu un essor fulgurant lors de la dernière décennie. Au sein de ces dernières, les procédés lithographiques – clé de voûte de l’industrie des semi-conducteurs – permettent désormais d’accéder à des nanomatériaux fonctionnels. Malgré les récents développements technologiques, l’obtention de nanostructures possédant une résolution inférieure à 100 nm reste un défi majeur pour la communauté scientifique.Devant l’intérêt grandissant de développer des méthodes alternatives en nanolithographie, notre groupe s’est tourné vers une approche chimique, nommée nanolithographie par sonde locale catalytique (cSPL). Combinant la robustesse de la catalyse organométallique et la flexibilité offerte par la microscopie à sonde locale, notre stratégie permet la nanostructuration de surfaces organominérales par la création de liaisons covalentes dans des conditions douces. Cette approche innovante constitue le premier exemple d’immobilisation d’un catalyseur homogène à la surface d’une pointe d’un microscope à force atomique (AFM), dans l’optique de contrôler spatialement une réactivité chimique, l’époxydation localisée d’alcènes terminaux. Ces fonctions époxydes ont été employées comme points d’ancrage dans la nanostructuration à façon de surfaces de silicium avec une large variété de nucléophiles. De plus, l’optimisation des paramètres physico-chimique influant sur la réaction, a permis d’atteindre des résolutions latérales de l’ordre de 40 nm et laisse entrevoir de nombreuses perspectives dans la nanostructuration tridimensionnelle de matériaux organiques. / In regard to the constant quest for miniaturization, the field of nanosciences has known a tremendous expansion over the last decade. More precisely, lithographic technologies - key processes for the semi-conductor industry – allow to access to functional nanomaterials. Despite recent technological developments, the synthesis of nanostructures with a sub-100 nm resolution remains a major challenge for the scientific community.Due to the growing interest in the design of new nanolithographic methods, our group has focused its efforts on the development of a chemical approach, named catalytic scanning probe lithography (cSPL). Unifying the robustness of organometallic catalysis and the flexibility offered by scanning probe microscopy, our strategy allows the nanostructuration of organomineral surfaces in a soft controlled manner by the formation of covalent bonds. This innovative approach represents the first example of the immobilization of an homogeneous catalyst on the edge of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, in order to spatially control a chemical reaction: the localized epoxidation reaction of terminal alkenes. Those epoxides were then used as anchoring sites, in the nanostructuration of silicon wafers with a broad range of nucleophiles. Moreover, the different physico-chemical parameters influencing the reaction were optimized, allowing us to reach lateral resolutions down to 40 nm and opening new perspectives in the field of 3D-nanostructuration of organic materials.
