Description:

(abstract)

A novel patterning method achieves a two-dimensional nano-pattern of metal nanofibers by depositing a platinum-cerium alloy film on a silicon wafer and inducing phase separation in an oxygen-carbon monoxide atmosphere. The resulting nano-patterned thin film, Pt#CeO2/Si, consisting of platinum and cerium oxide with an average pattern width of 50 nm, exhibits potential as a hydrogen sensor with sensitive electrical responses to hydrogen ad/desorption. This introduced patterning method addresses the challenge of wavelength limitations in traditional optical lithography, offering a scalable approach for sub-50 nm patterns crucial in advanced sensor and electronic applications.
