Survey of Nanoassembly

Abstract

Nanoassembly is a new field that deals with the controlled manipulation, handling and assembly of atoms, molecules and nano objects by robots for manufacturing of nano structures, devices and systems. Nanoassembly is expected to have revolutionary applications in almost all the scientific and technological areas. This paper presents a general review of nanoassembly considering its current developments and application. It discusses several method of nanoassembly technology and in detail self-assembly, object-oriented nanoassembly and hybrid nanoassembly.
