Abstract:

The Nanostructured OrigamiTrademark 3D Fabrication and Assembly Process is a method of manufacturing 3D nanosystems using exclusively 2D lithography tools. The 3D structure is obtained by folding a nanopatterned 2D substrate. We report on the materials, actuation and modeling aspects of the manufacturing process, and present results from fabricated structures.
