Summary
Researchers developed a simple method for creating 2D micro/nano-structures using dynamic nano-inscribing (DNI) and vibrational indentation patterning (VIP). This technique allows for continuous, scalable fabrication through sequential or single-stroke patterning.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Nanotechnology
- Mechanical Engineering
Background:
- Fabricating complex 2D micro/nano-structures at scale remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a versatile and simple methodology for continuous and scalable 2D micro/nano-structure fabrication.
- To demonstrate the application of dynamic nano-inscribing (DNI) and vibrational indentation patterning (VIP) for advanced patterning.
Main Methods:
- Utilized sequential 1D patterning strokes combining DNI and VIP.
- Developed a 'single-stroke' 2D patterning approach using a DNI tool integrated with VIP.
Main Results:
- Successfully demonstrated continuous and scalable fabrication of 2D micro/nano-structures.
- The DNI and VIP combination offers a versatile platform for diverse patterning applications.
Conclusions:
- The presented methodology provides an efficient and scalable solution for 2D micro/nano-fabrication.
