Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing nanometer-scale apertures, wherein, in an object, in a conventional manner, at least one aperture is provided with a nanometer-scale surface area, after which, by means of an electron beam, energy is supplied to at least the edge of said at least one aperture, such that the surface area of the respective aperture is adjusted, wherein the surface area of the aperture is controlled during adjustment and the supply of energy is regulated on the basis of the surface area change.
