Background:

Fabricating large-area ordered porous templates with complex patterns beyond simple hexagonal packing is a significant technical hurdle.
Conventional anodization techniques are limited in their ability to create sophisticated pore arrangements and patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and fabricate advanced pore patterns in square and hexagonal arrangements using focused ion beam (FIB) lithography.
To explore the creation of organized pore arrays with sophisticated patterns by varying interpore distances.
To overcome the limitations of conventional anodization for creating complex nanoporous structures.

Main Methods:

Utilizing focused ion beam (FIB) lithography to precisely pattern pore arrangements.
Employing varying interpore distances to control pore spacing and pattern complexity.
Combining FIB lithography with conventional anodization to create hierarchical pore structures.

Main Results:

Demonstrated successful meshing of small anodization-derived pores with larger FIB-generated pores.
Created unique and complicated nanopore patterns with high fidelity.
Achieved large pore patterns that successfully cross grain boundaries, guided by FIB-created pores.

Conclusions:

Focused ion beam lithography offers a viable route to fabricate complex, large-area nanoporous templates.
The proposed method enables the creation of sophisticated pore patterns unattainable with conventional anodization.
A fundamental mechanism for pore pattern formation in these hybrid structures has been elucidated.
