Processes Enabling Nanomanufacturing
The processes that nanomanufacturing engineers use to fabricate nanomaterials, nanoelectronic devices and other nanotechnology products depend on their nanotechnology approach and the specific nanotechnology product being manufactured. Two major approaches to nanomanufacturing are top down and bottom up. Nanofabrication processes enable the bottom-up approach. Nanoimprinting and self-assembly processes are newer nanofabrication processes under development. Powder and particle fabrication methods enable the top-down approach.
