Nano-net fabrication on the glass capillary by focused-ion-beam chemical-vapor-deposition

Nano-tools are very important for the subcellular operation and analysis in the bio-experiments. For giving the high-performance to nano-tool, we think that it is necessary to make tools the three-dimensional (3D) nano-structure devices. Therefore, we have performed the 3D nano-tools fabrication by using focused-ion-beam chemical-vapor-deposition (FIB-CVD). This time, a nano-net as a novel 3D nano-tool was fabricated by using FIB-CVD. And we succeeded in scooping the polystyrene micro-sphere with a diameter of 2.0 /spl mu/m by using a nano-net.
