TL;DR: The Langmuir trough enables high quality organic layers (Langmuir-Blodgett films) to be deposited onto a variety of substrates as discussed by the authors, including two-dimensional magnetism, integrated and electro-optics, electron beam lithography, biological membranes, charge injection devices and field effect transistors.
Abstract: The Langmuir trough enables high quality organic layers (Langmuir-Blodgett films) to be deposited onto a variety of substrates. This article describes the preparation and characterization of these monolayer and multilayer films and reviews many of their potential applications; these include two-dimensional magnetism, integrated and electro-optics, electron beam lithography, biological membranes, charge injection devices and field-effect transistors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the resolution limits of EBL in the conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) organic resist and show that resolution can be pushed below 10 nm for isolated features and dense arrays of periodic structures can be fabricated at a pitch of 30 nm, leading to a density close to 700 Gbit/in2.

TL;DR: Although the introduction of shorter-wavelength light sources and resolution-enhancement techniques should help maintain the current rate of device miniaturization for several more years, a point will be reached where optical lithography can no longer attain the required feature sizes.
Abstract: The phenomenal rate of increase in the integration density of silicon chips has been sustained in large part by advances in optical lithography--the process that patterns and guides the fabrication of the component semiconductor devices and circuitry. Although the introduction of shorter-wavelength light sources and resolution-enhancement techniques should help maintain the current rate of device miniaturization for several more years, a point will be reached where optical lithography can no longer attain the required feature sizes. Several alternative lithographic techniques under development have the capability to overcome these resolution limits but, at present, no obvious successor to optical lithography has emerged.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental realization of highly efficient optical elements built up from metal nanostructures to manipulate surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a silver/polymer interface is reported.
Abstract: We report the experimental realization of highly efficient optical elements built up from metal nanostructures to manipulate surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a silver/polymer interface. Mirrors, beamsplitters, and interferometers produced by electron-beam lithography are investigated. The plasmon fields are imaged by detecting the fluorescence of molecules dispersed in the polymer.
