The Complete Works of Robert Burns On a Chip
To showcase the capability of the new Vistec VB6 UHR EWF electron beam lithography tool at the University of Glasgow’s, James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, we used it to write the complete works of Scottish poet Robert Burns on a small piece of silicon.
Ten copies would fit on the head of a pin and this is likely to be the world's smallest copy of the works of Burns.
The image shows pages of text alongside a human hair plus detailed text from the work “A Vision”. Each character is approximately 150 nm. In typography, a point is 0.3528 mm so 150nm gives a font of approximately 0.0000425 point.
