Abstract
We demonstrate the fabrication of metal and semiconductor nanodot arrays on Si by pulsed laser deposition using an anodic alumina membrane as a mask. A Hexagonal-close-packed nanopore membrane mask was fabricated by the anodic oxidation of aluminum sheet. Pulsed laser deposition of Ag, Ni, ZnO, and Er-doped Si (Si:Er) nanodots was performed on a Si substrate to which an alumina membrane mask adheres by van der Waals interaction. Highly ordered arrays of Ag, Ni, ZnO, and Si:Er nanodots with average diameters ranging from 55 to 86 nm and a periodicity of ∼100 nm were obtained. Also, the time-resolved images of laser-produced plasma plumes were analyzed to examine the dynamical properties of the ejected materials.
