Fabrication of Morpho Structures Using Lithographic Techniques

Abstract

Morpho butterfly scales have a morphological structure with a nanostructure. The morpho structure has a structure in which nanofins are repeated, and when light hits the structure, light in the visible light region is absorbed, and only blue light is reflected out of the system. Therefore, the morpho butterfly shines bright blue. It has been found that this morpho structure is similar in shape to a fine pattern having a standing wave effect in a semiconductor lithography process. We then report an attempt to fabricate morpho structures using lithographic techniques.
