| This image of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man is milled into a piece of silicon by a focused ion beam instrument and is 15 µm in diameter |
Abstract:
A pioneering fabrication technique developed by NPL and the University of Surrey can mill 3D profiles with unrivalled accuracy.
Nano-Vitruvian Man
UK | Posted on January 21st, 2010This new technique is capable of milling structures on the nanometer scale in all three dimensions. The ability to control the accuracy in the z-direction, offers a clear advantage over existing alternative techniques.
The technique opens up a range of possible device applications, particularly in the field of optics and calibration standards for microscopy.
