Abstract
Nanotechnology has attracted great attention as one of essential fields in modern science. In particular, the fabrication of nanostructures with nanometer dimension in size is the starting point and essential part of nanotechnology research. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanotemplate technique has many merits including ease of fabrication, low cost process, and nanotemplate fabrication in large area. Moreover, AAO nanotemplate technique can realize self-ordered hexagonal pore structure with extremely high aspect ratio which is difficult to achieve with conventional lithographic techniques. Simple control of pore dimensions such as diameter, length, and density by varying anodizing condition would be advantageous, too. AAO nanotemplate has been the topic of intensive investigations for the past decade due to above strong points, and the application to various fields of nanotechnology is expected. In this review paper, the fabrication and application of AAO nanotemplate are introduced.
