Abstract

We present a novel fabrication method to create controlled 3-dimensional silicon nanostructures with the lateral dimensions that are less than 50 nm as a result of a rapid clean room compatible process. We also demonstrate periodic and nonperiodic lattices of nanopillars in predetermined positions with the minimum pitch of 100 nm. One of the uses of this process is to fabricate suspended silicon nanowhiskers.
