Bottom-up lithography

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001448",
  "term": "Bottom-up lithography",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A fabrication approach in which nanostructures are built by assembling smaller molecular or atomic components into larger, more complex systems. This method contrasts with top-down lithography, which involves removing material from a larger block. Self-assembly of block copolymers is a prominent example of bottom-up lithography.",
