Abstract

Porous $Al_2O_3$ film can be utilized as template for fabrication of nano-structured materials. Porous anodic alumina layer as template was prepared by anodization of aluminum in oxalic acid, and the pore diameter and barrier-type alumina layer can be controlled for proper anodizing parameter by widening process in $H_3PO_4$ solution. The $SiO_2$ nanodot and Ni nanowire was fabricated using anodic alumina template and their characteristics were investigated using SEM and TEM with EDS. Especially the growth mechanism of $SiO_2$ nanodot in alumina membrane compared with thinning of the alumina barrier layer during anodization was also investigated.
