Abstract:
In this letter, we discuss a versatile
template technique aimed to the fabrication
of sub-10 nm wide wires. Using this
technique, we have measured AuPd wires, 12
nm wide and as long as 20 µm. Even
materials that form a strong superficial
oxide, and thus not suited to be used in
combination with other techniques, can be
employed. In particular, we have measured Al
wires, with lateral width smaller or
comparable to 10 nm, and length exceeding
10 µm.
