A low-cost fabrication method of nanostructures by ultraviolet proximity exposing lithography

The lithography contact/proximity printing technique is widely used in the fabrication of microelectronic components, optical devices, and micro-fluidic chips. However, the fabrication of nano-sized structures requires high-cost equipment. This paper proposes a low-cost method to manufacture nanostr...
