10 Manufacturing: Transforming raw materials into products with desired properties and performance generally in large quantities Defining Nanomanufacturing (1) : Aims at building material structures, components, devices/ machines, and systems with nanoscale features in one, two and three dimensions. It includes - bottom-up directed assembling of nanostructure building blocks (from the atomic, molecular, supramolecular levels), - top-down high-resolution processing (ultraprecision engineering, fragmentation methods, positioning assembling), - engineering of molecules and supramolecular systems (molecules as devices by design, nanoscale machines, etc.), - hierarchical integration with larger scale systems. Atoms, nanostructures materials/ devices/ molecules (intermediate) machines/ systems M.C. Roco, 02/11/08

11 Nanomanufacturing: Several challenges Efficiently create structures in the nm range Combine top-down and bottom-up approaches Integration along scales with larger systems Large scale production and economical scale up: different concepts and principles?
