Track Etched Membranes for Electronic Applications

Track etched membrane due to its simplicity, small geometry, controllable diameter and length of pores and permanent maintenance of nuclear records offers many exciting applications in various fields of science and technology. Track etched pores produced by physico - chemical treatments to thin films of polymers irradiated by heavy ions can be sequentially deposited by any material to form nanostructures viz. nanowires or nanotubules. Metallic as well as semiconducting nanowires are the most attractive materials having tremendous applications in nano-electronics, magnetic devices, chemical and biosensors, which combining with lithography form different types of novel transistors, micro/nanocapacitors, magnets, transformers whereas nanotubules have more potent applications in physical and biosciences. In the present paper using track etched membranes as template synthesis of nano/micro homogeneous and heterogeneous structures produced using scanning electron microscope for their use in electronic applications.
