Mid-IR integrated nanophotonics for chip-scale quantum optics applications

Buchwald W., University of Massachusetts Boston, US

A mid-IR nanophotonic architecture based on inter-sub-band transitions, along with experimental verification of the use of surface depletion as a means to control the host materials absorption properties is presented. Finite element simulations suggest this [...]

Doping-less Bipolar Transistor with fT Surpassing that of Conventional BJT

Nadda K., Jagadesh Kumar M., Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, IN

An innovative ultrathin SOI based bipolar charge plasma transistor BCPT for RF circuit applications is presented in this paper. The proposed device structure exhibits high cut-off frequency and an improved current drive while still maintaining [...]

Performance Comparison of Non-planar MOSFETs

Liao Y.-B., Chiang M-H, Hsu W.-C., National Ilan University, TW

To gain insights into device variability, device scalability and even circuit performance, more comprehensive simulation data are presented. FinFET shows the highest transconductances corresponding to aforementioned highest IDLIN and IDSAT. Regarding process variation, same W¬Si/D [...]

Report on the Atomically Precise, No Interface, Device Regime Workshop

Randall J.N., Ballard J.B., Owen J.H.G., Manning S.D., Zyvex Labs, US

The paper will present the findings of a workshop held in June 2012 at NIST to explore a new device regime with no materials interfaces and atomically precise placement of dopant atoms. The participants concluded [...]

Detection of diffused III-V materials in high-k oxides during atomic layer deposition and annealing

Cabrera W., Dong H., Brennan B., O’Connor É., Carolan P., Galatage R., Monaghan S., Povey I., Hurley P.K., Hinkle C.L., Chabal Y., Wallace R.M., University of Texas at Dallas, US

In this study we look at the impact of ALD HfO2 and Al2O3 on both InGaAs and InP substrates, with the aim of determining if there is any diffusion of substrate atoms into the high-k [...]

A Low Cost, Modular and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Cell for Construction of Heterogeneous Micro-Nano Systems

Das A.N., Savoie S., University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI), US

This abstract presents a novel flexible manufacturing approach using modular robotic manipulators that can be quickly and easily configured for on-demand, on-site prototyping or pilot production. The modular and reconfigurable manufacturing cell or MRMC implements [...]

Novel Nanostructured Coatings onto Particles by Atomic Layer Deposition, Their Method of Manufacture, and Feasibility of Scale and Economics

Spencer J., Weimer A., ALD NanoSolutions, US

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) on particles can provide unique opportunities to control surface chemistry or create new composite materials. These techniques can create a wide variety of structures to suit many different commercial applications from [...]

Scalable Nanopatterning using Roll-based Jet and Flash Imprint Lithography

Ahn S., Ganapathisubramanian M., Miller M., Yang J., Choi J., Menezes M., Xu F., Hellebrekers P., LaBrake D., Resnick D.J., Sreenivasan S.V., Molecular Imprints, Inc, US

Large area roll-to-roll manufacturing on flexible substrates is ubiquitous for applications such as paper and plastic processing. It combines the benefits of high speed and inexpensive substrates to deliver a commodity product at low cost. [...]

Bacterial Cellulose Nanocomposites Developed by in-situ Fermentation

Osorio M., Restrepo D., Castro C., Montoya U., Zuluaga R., Gañán P., Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, CO

Some bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter synthesize cellulose nanofibrills (BC) through the polymerization of glucose and subsequent extrusion outside the cell. In static conditions, the bacteria produce a three-dimensional network, a type of pellicule, which can [...]

Production of Glass Nanofibers with tailored compositions by Laser Spinning

Quintero F., Penide J., Comesaña R., Lusquiños F., Riveiro A., Pou J., Universidad de Vigo, ES

We present a new method developed in our group, Laser Spinning, for the production of very long amorphous ceramic nanofibers with lengths up to several centimeters. This technique allows large quantities of nanofibers to be [...]
