Abstract

Fabrication of nanostructured materials and synthesis of nanomaterials have intensively studied to realize electronic devices for nanotechnology. By using nanoporous alumina mask, nanostructured material can be fabricated in the form of uniform array. The size and the density of the nanostructured materials can be controllable by changing the pore diameter and the density of the alumina mask. This method is possible low cost and on large scale process, and feasible to contribute the fusion technology consisting of information technology, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Therefore, these techniques provide alternative approaches for development of new electronic applications. In this paper, the fabrication technique and its applications of nanoporous alumina mask are described and nanostructured materials such as quantum dots, nanoholes, and nanorods are introduced.

나노재료의 합성이나 나노구조물질의 제작은 나노기술을 기반으로 하는 전자소자를 구현하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크(nanoporous alumina mask) 를 이용하여 균일도와 정렬도가 우수한 나노구조물들을 제조할 수 있고 이들의 크기와 밀도는 알루미나 마스크의 동공의 직경과 동공밀도를 조절하여 제어할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 낮은 비용으로 나노구조물의 대면적 제조 공정 개발이 가능하고, 정보통신기술와 바이오기술-나노기술을 융합하는 새로운 물질의 제조에 응용할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로, 알루미나 마스크를 사용하여 다양한 크기와 밀도를 갖는 나노물질을 제조하는 기술은 새로운 형태의 다양한 전자소자의 구현을 위해 가능성이 큰 기술이라 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크를 제조하는 기술과 이를 이용한 양자점(quantum dots), 나노홀(nanoholes), 나노막대(nanorods) 등의 나노구조물 제조와 그 구조물의 응용성에 대해 알아보고자 한다.
