Reflow Microfabrication for Refractive Optical Components: Process and Materials
Our paper will describe a new method of fabricating refractive optical components for free-space micro-optical systems. The seminal paper on this topic was Pister et al [1], in which hinges were used to demonstrate several [...]
NEMS Mass Sensor by Focused Ion Beam Fabrication
Due to rising industrial demands (food, biology, control), there is a drive to develop smaller, more sensitive sensor-devices with real-time capability. The objective of this work is to utilise Focused Ion Beam (FIB) fabrication technology [...]
Bio-assembly of Nanoparticles for Device Applications
Singh K.V., Alim K., Wang X., Balandin A., Ozkan C.S., Ozkan M., Ozkan C.S., Ozkan M., UC-Riverside, US
Due to limitations of current lithographic methods, for future electronic device fabrication especially below 10 nm various methods are currently being investigated. To this end, in my research group, we assemble nanometer size particles with [...]
Layer-by-layer Nano-assembled Polypyrrole Humidity Sensor
In recent years the influence of humidity has been given top priority in moisture sensitive areas such as high voltage engineering systems, storage areas, computer rooms etc. Conducting or semiconducting conjugated polymers show significant change [...]
A Micromanipulation Method based on the Capillary Force by Phase Transition
The size of an object has decreased in the electrical and mechanical engineering field for fabricating highly functional microelectro-mechanical systems and photonic crystals. In micromanipulation, even if we can pickup micro-objects, it is very difficult [...]
Evaluation of Manipulation Probes for Expanding the Range of Capillary Force
It is difficult to manipulate a micro-sized object precisely with conventional tools, because the gravity effect becomes extremely small compared to the adhesional one. Therefore, in order to perform reliable micromanipulation, we need to use [...]
Immobilization of Polydiacetylene Sensor on Solid Substrate
We have prepared diacetylene monomers and immobilized the resulting self-assembled diacetylene liposomes onto the glass substrates. Fine fluorescent images were obtained when the immobilized liposomes were irradiated with UV light through a photomask followed by [...]
Polymer-Controlled Growth of CdSe Nanoparticles into Micro- and Nanowires
This work reports an easy and effective method to prepare CdSe semiconductors nanoparticles stabilised by using amphiphile diblock copolymer polystyrene-block-polyvinylpyridine [PS-b-P4VP] in nonaqueous medium. spin coating on native oxide Si-wafers showed a core-shell structure of [...]
Adhesive and Conductive – Inkjettable Nano-filled Inks for use in Microelectronics and Microsystems Technology
Meyer E.M., Meyer W., Arp A., Calderone F., Kolbe J., Meyer E.M., Meyer W., Schaefer H., Stuve M., Metalor Technologies SA, CH
The present work demonstrates feasibility of an inkjettable, isotropically electrically conductive adhesive in the form of a silver loaded resin with a 2-step curing mechanism. In the first step, the adhesive is dispensed (jetted) and [...]
Development of a Scalelable Interconnection Technology for Nano Packaging
Becker K.-F., Löher T., Pahl B., Wittler O., Jordan R., Bauer J., Aschenbrenner R., Reichl H., Fraunhofer IZM, DE
Microelectronics miniaturization is following Moore’s law since the mid sixties and over the years it has always been possible to follow it without meeting fundamental technological limits. This might be in question for future applications, [...]
Investigation of Patterned Media Concept for Very High Magnetic Storage Density
One potential architecture for very high magnetic storage density, called perpendicular recording, orients the magnetic domains normal to the media surface to achieve a higher domain volume and therefore increase the thermal stability. Additionally patterned [...]
