Faculty Applied Sciences Department Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Date 2008-12-31 Abstract We report a new method for the fabrication of sub-10 nm nanopores in a fast single process step. The pore formation is accomplished by exploiting the competition between sputtering and deposition in ion-beam-induced deposition (IBID) on a thin membrane. The pore diameter can be controlled by adjusting the ion beam and gas exposure conditions. The pore diameter is well below the limit that can be achieved by focused ion beam (FIB) milling alone. There is no need of preparation and successive treatments. Apart from simplicity and speed, this method offers an additional advantage of a broad choice of material and thickness of the deposit and the membrane.
