Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of superconducting thin film material preparation, and relates to a preparation method of a novel nanostructure of a superconducting thin film, and the core is a nano-processing technology of local punching in a specified region of a thin film. BACKGROUND

[0002] The micro-nano hole processing method usually includes electron beam exposure, focused ion beam etching, nano-imprinting technology, laser direct writing processing technology, etc. Electron beam exposure (EBL) is a basic nano-processing technology, and the disadvantage is that it takes more time to prepare a large-area complex pattern, and is limited by the proximity effect. In order to overcome the shortcomings, researchers also try to use projection EBL technology and large-scale parallel electron beam technology. Focused ion beam (FIB) etching is one of the most accurate maskless micro / nano processing methods. The disadvantages are high cost, very low processing efficiency, and limited substrate size, which limits its application to sample preparation, repair and small-batch prototype verification, etc. In addition, since the general Ga + beam current diameter is larger than that of the electron beam, the resolution is lower than that of EBL. Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a technology for copying nanostructures by mechanical deformation, but it requires high-resolution equipment to manufacture templates, and etching is needed to remove the residual glue after imprinting, which damages the glue to a certain extent. Direct laser writing (DLW) directly scans and processes materials using a laser beam. However, the processing resolution of DLW is limited by the optical diffraction limit, and the application of optical super-structured surface is limited to the infrared to terahertz wave band.

[0003] At present, the template synthesis method is one of the most commonly used methods for preparing nanoscale materials, wherein the templates include AAO templates, block copolymer templates, silicon-based porous templates and trace etching polymer templates. Among the numerous templates, the AAO template has become the preferred template for preparing nanomaterials due to its adjustable parameters, simple process, low cost and the like. By utilizing the excellent pore size characteristics of the AAO template, combined with physical and chemical methods such as electrochemical deposition and sol-gel method, deposition of different materials in the AAO template can obtain various nanomaterials with different excellent performances. The advantages of using the AAO template to prepare nanomaterials are as follows: (1) the shape, size and structure of the nanomaterials can be controlled by controlling the structural parameters of the AAO template; (2) the operation is simple and the cost is low in the entire process; (3) the deposition raw materials can be various, including metals, semiconductors, polymers and oxides; (4) the AAO template is insulating and resistant to high temperature, and transparent in the visible light range. In addition, the AAO template also has a unique highly ordered nano-pore structure, and is widely used in the preparation of nanomaterials, sensors, photonic crystals, catalysis and many other fields. The advantage of the AAO template method for nanofabrication is low cost and high efficiency, and a piece of AAO template can realize large-area micro-nano pore processing. On the other hand, the limitation of the AAO template method for nanofabrication is also very prominent, that is, when the template is transferred, it can only be done in whole, and local micro-nano pore processing cannot be realized.
