Design study of CNT transistors layouts for high frequency analog circuits

Claus M., Technische Universität Dresden, DE

CNTFET technology is examined for high speed analog circuits. Design guidelines are deduced based on a realistic extrinsic circuit model. Moreover, numerical device simulations are used to derive specifications for CNTFET compact models suitable for [...]

Funding of Nanotechnology in Germany

Bachmann G., VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH, DE

Because Germany is strongly dependent on industrial success in future markets, the government created in 2006 the Hightech-Strategy, addressing goals in societal important areas like medicine, climate, energy, environment, mobility and communication. Germany should be [...]

Nanoscale UV-absorber for sustainable paint and coating applications

Wessels W., Nolte U., Berkei M., BYK Chemie GmbH, DE

Innovative nanomaterials are finding their way into paints, coatings, and plastics applications. Beside improving or modifying the mechanical polymer properties, giving higher scratch resistance for example, nanoscale materials like CeO2 are applied to improve UV [...]

Permittivity of BaTiO3 polymer composite with differing particle size distribution

Schumacher B., Geßwein H., Hanemann T., Haußelt J., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, DE

In previous works the authors presented the possibility to raise the permittivity of polyester-reactive-resin composite materials by using thermal treatment steps to optimize the crystal structure of a nano-powder before incorporating it into the composite. [...]

Spray-coating deposition for large area organic thin-film devices

Abdellah A., Baierl D., Fabel B., Lugli P., Scarpa G., Technische Universitaet Muenchen, DE

Organic electronic devices based on solution-processable polymers are among the most promising applications of organic semiconductors. Low-cost fabrication by means of simple coating and printing techniques is surely one of their greatest advantages. We report [...]

Detailed Analysis of Quantum-Effects in Nanowire Tunneling Transistors with Different Channel-Profiles

Heigl A., Wachutka G., TU Munich, DE

Combining the operational principle of the tunneling field effect transistor with the idea of a multigate channel control appears as an attractive option to avoid unwanted shortchannel effects in nanometer-scale MOS-devices. This motivated us to [...]

Micro-Fabricated Electrostatic Voltage Sensor with a Thin Bulk-Silicon Device Layer

Dittmer J., Judaschke R., Büttgenbach S., Technische Universität Braunschweig, DE

Micro-fabricated sensors made of a 20 µm thick bulk-silicon device layer for electrostatic voltage measurements are presented. A rotational, seesaw-like actuator with two electrically isolated electrodes on its ends forming parallel-plate capacitors with opposing electrodes [...]
