AbstractWe demonstrate a fabrication of an atomically controlled single-crystal heart-shaped nanostructure using a convergent electron beam in a scanning transmission electron microscope. The delicately controlled e-beam enable epitaxial crystallization of perovskite oxide LaAlO3 grown out of the relative conductive interface (i.e. 2 dimensional electron gas) between amorphous LaAlO3/crystalline SrTiO3.

Holes 20 Å in diameter and fine lines 20 Å wide can be cut in the metal-β-aluminas using the 10 Å electron beam of the Vacuum Generators, HB5 scanning transmission electron microscope. The minimum current density required for cutting was 103 amp/cm2. Electron energies of 40,60,80,100 keV were used.This technique has higher resolution than current lithography methods and is direct, requiring no chemical development. The width of isolated lines made on solid substrates is currently about .1μm (Ahmed and McMahon, 1981) and .03μm (Jackel et al., 1980). M. Isaacson and A. Murry have carried out electron beam writing on NaCl crystals supported on a carbon film on the scale we report here.In our case uniform 20Å holes and lines can be cut through self-supporting 1000A thick slabs of sodium-β-alumina to provide very high electron contrast. Once cut, the β-aluminas are stable and will tolerate exposure to air without degradation of the electron cut patterns. They may be used directly as masks (eg. for ion implantation). We believe they could be cut on the substrate with no damage to the underlying material.

Nanometre-sized structures were fabricated by electron beam-induced deposition in a scanning transmission electron microscope. A small amount of metal-organic gases, W(CO)6 and dimethyl acetylacetonato gold, were introduced near a substrate in the chamber of the microscope. The gas was decomposed by the irradiation of focused electron beams and nanometre-sized deposits containing W or Au were produced. Moving the beam position enables us to produce structures with a variety of shapes. High-resolution electron microscopy observation revealed that the structures consisted of nano-crystalline and amorphous parts.
