Gecko mimicking surfaces
Fecko, Peter ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Pekárek, Jan (advisor)
Adhezní schopnosti gekona byly předmětem mnoha studií a inspirací pro vytvoření mnoha napodobenin. Tato práce navrhuje vlastní verzi umělých gekoních struktur ve tvaru mikroskopických pilířů, které by vykazovaly adhezní vlastnosti srovnatelné s tlapkou gekona. Vyrobeny byli struktury z polymeru Parylen C pomocí fotolitografie a technik na leptání křemíku. Dalším cílem bylo různými metodami pro modifikaci povrchu a charakterizaci vytvořených struktur, které určí adhezní síly těchto povrchů, před a po modifikacích.

Horáček, Miroslav ; Kolařík, Vladimír ; Matějka, Milan ; Krátký, Stanislav ; Chlumská, Jana ; Meluzín, Petr ; Král, Stanislav ; Fořt, Tomáš ; Oulehla, Jindřich ; Pokorný, Pavel
The development of planar microstructures for optical applications, and subsequent realization of samples by the way of e-beam lithography and other techniques. Project deals with material study suited for the fabrication of planar microstructures in thin metallic layer with respect to achievable resolution and fulfilling the absorbance parameters for particular application. E-beam lithography is used for preparation the motif in resist layer, which is masking layer for the etching of metallic layer by various techniques (wet etching, reactive ion etching). Technical documentation of developed processes and prepared samples are also the part of the project.

Controlled structuring of self-assembled polystyrene microsphere arrays by two different plasma systems
Domonkos, Mária ; Ižák, Tibor ; Stolcova, L. ; Proška, J. ; Kromka, Alexander
In this study we present a successful manipulation of microspheres by reactive ion etching (RIE). A self-assembled monolayer close-packed array of monodisperse polystyrene microspheres (PM) with diameter of 471 nm was used as the primary template. The PM templates were processed in two different RIE systems: (i) capacitively coupled radiofrequency plasma (CCP) and (ii) dual plasma system which combines CCP and pulsed linear-antenna microwave plasma (PLAMWP). The influence of process conditions on the PM geometry was systematically studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found out that choosing optimal parameters results in a tunable diameter of PM with various shapes (from spheres to pyramid-like structures) while keeping their periodic hexagonal ordering.

Mechanical design of measurement system for reactive ion etching system
Maňka, Tadeáš ; Antoš, Martin (referee) ; Šerý, Mojmír (advisor)
The aim of this work is to design fully working measuring system for the reactive ion etching system (RIE). The Michelson interfometer, previously developed in Ústav přístrojové techniky, v.v.i., is used in this work. The theoretical part is aimed at description of interferometric methods for precise measuring of length. In next part the etching proces with RIE is described. In practical part the testing system was constructed from the parts of Thorlabs company . The functionality was controlled with this system and the results of measuring were compared with the profilometer. In next step technical drawings were created and the whole system was made.

Applications of self-assembled 2D polystyrene nanosphere arrays
Domonkos, Mária ; Ižák, Tibor ; Demo, Pavel ; Kromka, Alexander
In this study nanosphere lithography (NSL) is demonstrated to be a low-cost, parallel and material independent fabrication process for creating periodic arrays of nanostructures using self-assembled nanospheres as templates. SA is the most feasible way to fabricate 2D or 3D colloidal crystals on large areas. After the mask preparation NSL uses different steps of plasma etching and deposition processes. The resulting patterned nanostructures have a wide range of applications in many important areas such as photonics, antireflection, surface wetting, biological and chemical sensing, solar cells, etc. This study focuses on an overview of applications of 2D colloidal crystals. First, structuring of substrate surfaces and the creation of various nano-objects (nanotips, nanopillars, nanocones) is shown. Next, direct growth of patterned structures (graphene nanomesh and diamond structures) is pointed out.

The process conditions were controlled by varying radiofrequency (RF) power, gas mixture (O2:CF4 ratio) and process duration.

Reactive ion etching of polystyrene microspheres
Domonkos, Mária ; Ižák, Tibor ; Štolcová, L. ; Proška, J. ; Kromka, Alexander
This article gives a brief insight also into the principle of the nanosphere lithography and various plasma systems focusing on their properties and applicability for a subsequent topographical modification of surfaces prepared by NS lithography. In the experimental part of this study we present a successful manipulation of microspheres by reactive ion etching (RIE). A self-assembled monolayer close-packed array of monodisperse polystyrene microspheres is used as the primary template. The polystyrene microspheres (PM) were processed in capacitively coupled radiofrequency plasma (CCP) RIE system. The influence of process conditions on the PM geometry is systematically studied by scanning electron microscopy. The process conditions are controlled by varying radiofrequency power, total pressure, composition of the gas mixture (ratio O2:CF4) and process duration.

Nano modification of the W(100)/ZrO electron emitter tip using reactive ion etching
Horáček, Miroslav ; Matějka, František ; Kolařík, Vladimír ; Matějka, Milan ; Urbánek, Michal
The W(100)/ZrO electron emitter tip is typically prepared from a tungsten single-crystal shaft of a diameter of 125 μm using electrochemical anodic etching. In order to prepare an emitter for e-beam writer with a shaped beam it is desirable to etch the tip with a radius around 100 nm. Despite the anodic etching is precisely controlled using dedicated software, the desired final form shape of the emitter tip is not achieved in every case. The correcting anodic etching is not possible due to the technology principle of the etching itself. We present in this contribution the procedure that modifies/repairs the tungsten tip shape in a nanoscale region using a reactive ion etching (RIE) in CF4 + O2 gaseous mix in a barrel type reactor at the radio frequency of 13,56 MHz and the working pressure of 1000 Pa. The change of the geometry after the RIE process is checked using a high resolution scanning electron microscope. The influence of the tip modification of the activated thermal-field W(100)/ZrO electron emitter on its emission characteristics is also presented.

Structuring of diamond films by reactive ion plasma etching
Domonkos, M. ; Ižák, Tibor ; Proška, J. ; Kromka, Alexander
In this study, two common strategies of diamond film structuring are described. Main focus is on the comparison of top-down and the bottom-up strategies. The top-down strategy is primary related to dry reactive ion etching through masking materials (or even without mask), while bottom-up strategy is based on selective area deposition of diamond film. Several methods of both strategies are demonstrated in details in the article, regarding to their properties and basic principles.
