Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for bending one- or two-dimensional nanostructures using ion beams require rotation and precise positioning, making it difficult to change the bending direction without motion, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A movement-free bending method using ion beams, where the bending direction is controlled by varying the energy of the ion beam and the thickness of the nanostructure, allowing for directional changes without physical movement of the nanostructure, using high and low energy ion beams alternately and with the aid of an ion beam blocker to target specific areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If particle beam irradiation is used to bend nanostructure, then bending deformation can be achieved, but rotation and repositioning are required to change bending direction which increases time and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the energy parameter of the ion beam to control the bending direction of the nanostructure. By adjusting the ion beam energy, the bending direction can be switched without rotating or repositioning the nanostructure, thereby resolving the technical contradiction between bending direction control precision and time loss for rotation operations
2Manufacturing precision
If particle beam irradiation is used to bend nanostructure, then bending deformation can be achieved, but rotation and repositioning operations increase process complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses energy parameter changes of the ion beam instead of mechanical rotation operations. This simplifies the control system by replacing complex rotational positioning mechanisms with a simpler energy adjustment mechanism, thereby resolving the technical contradiction between manufacturing precision and device complexity
3Shape
If mechanical force is applied to deform objects, then deformation can be achieved, but fixing and supporting operations are difficult at nanometer scale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical force application system with an ion beam irradiation system. The ion beam delivers momentum to the nanostructure without requiring mechanical contact, fixing, or supporting operations, thereby resolving the technical contradiction between deformation capability and ease of operation at nanometer scale
