GUIDED NANOSTRUCTURES USING ANODIZED ALUMINUM OXIDE TEMPLATES

In this paper, we review recent advances in nanotemplate fabrication using anodized aluminum oxide (AAO). In addition to self-ordered AAO nanoarrays, guided AAO self-assembly is of great interest since it can offer highly ordered, vertically aligned nanoporous templates which are suitable for various materials synthesis and alignment of nanosized structures. Moreover, structural modification of AAO nanoarrays by controlling fabrication process parameters are reviewed which can be applicable for advanced micro- and nanosystems. In this aspect, potential applications using AAO will be revealed in the aspects of self-ordered AAO, guided self-assembly of AAO, and biomedical and magnetic applications.
