Nanofabrication and Sensing Technology: from the Interface-Mediated Mechanism Point-of-View

Abstract

In recent years, the field of sensing technology has experienced notable advancements, where sensing devices have emerged as pivotal tools in enhancing operational efficiency, cutting costs, and bolstering security across diverse sectors. In this context, the preparation of nanoscale materials and structures, including colloidal particle synthesis and lithographic structure fabrication will be discussed. The significance of managing the interface environment in sensor designs, with nanofabrication advancements enabling the development of innovative sensing devices, is highlighted. Control over the interface environment is argued not only dictates the capability of sensor designs but also opens avenues for next-generation sensor fabrication and integration. By focusing on the interface-mediated mechanism, this approach offers a comprehensive roadmap of this research area, its challenges and potential solutions, and prospective opportunities.
