A Multiscale Model of Micro Cantilever Arrays

Lenczner M., Pillet E., Cogan S., Hui H., FEMTO-ST, FR

Abstract:The presentation is a contribution in the area of MEMS Array modelling. In some cases, Arrayed Microsystems present coupling between their components, and their global simulation cannot be performed taking into account individual sub-systems separately. [...]

Silicon die self-alignment on a wafer: stable and instable modes

Berthier J., Grossi F., Di Cioccio L., CEA/LETI/MINATEC, FR

To create advanced Microsystems by 3D integration, die-to-wafer assembly is required to obtain fast and reliable packaging. In order to overcome the main difficulties of current techniques, self-assembly methods are promising due to their serial [...]

Solid State and Template Free Synthesis of a Nanotubular Polyaniline-TiO2 Composite

Bonnot K., Grandcolas M., Keller V., Spitzer D., ISL-CNRS, FR

Our work report on the synthesis of a novel polyaniline-titania tubular composite at nanoscale. Significant new accomplishments relies on the synthesis of polyaniline-TiO2 composite nanotubes, as up to now most researchs in this field reported [...]

Anticancer Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Benyettou F., Lalatonne Y., Sainte-Catherine O., Lecouvey M., Motte L., Laboratoire CSPBAT FRE 3043 CNRS, FR

We designed a new therapeutic nanoplatform which could be both imaged in situ with MRI (T2 contrast agent) and/or addressed by magnetic targeting (magnet) or specific molecules (peptides, antibodies …). The biological in-vitro tests performed [...]

Effect of doping on the radial breathing mode of carbon nanotubes

Gerber I.C., Puech P., Gannouni A., Bacsa W.S., CEMES-CNRS, FR

Doping CNTs is an attractive alternative to control the electronic conductivity of CNTs independent of their diameter. Highly conducting nanotubes are of interest for applications in transparent thin film electrodes. When doping CNTs through substitution [...]

Highly selective sensing of DMMP and NH3 using CNTFET array based gas sensors obtained using Spray-gun technique and fabricated with different metal electrodes to achieve gas electronic fingerprinting

Bondavalli P., Legagneux P., Pribat D., Gorintin L., Thales Research and Technology, FR

This paper deals with the prove of concept of an highly selective gas sensor based on CNTFETs which exploits the extremely sensitive change of the Schottky barrier heights between SWCNTs and metal electrodes. Specifically, the [...]

The Study of Mechanical Stress in NEMS Heterostructures

Xu X., Bogdan B., Lime F., Grenoble institute of technology, FR

Mechanical stress is increasingly applied in microelectronics. For instance, strained silicon technology is widely used to improve carrier mobility and driver current for advanced MOS transistors. For micro-electromechanical systems, piezoresistive effects are widely used in [...]

SAPHIR – EUROPEAN PROJECT – Safe, integrated and controlled production of high-tech multifunctional materials and their recycling

Goepfert C., CILAS, FR

The development of nanotechnologies appears to be a real innovative solution in order to improve existing technologies and create new products of the future. However, at the present time, the manufacture of nanostructured products is [...]

Measurement of nanofiller removal by abrasion

Tardif F., Guiot A., Golanski L., CEA-Liten, FR

A strong release limitation of single nanoparticles from the commercial manufactured “nanoproducts” is absolutely necessary to protect the consumers and represents also a pragmatic way to facilitate acceptance for nanomaterial commercialization before obtaining definitive toxicological [...]

Dissymetric metal deposition on carbon nanotubes

Warakulwit C., Delville M.-H., Ravaine V., Limtrakul J., Kuhn A., University of Bordeaux, FR

Short carbon nanotubes have been modified selectively on one end with metal using an original bulk technique based on bipolar electrochemistry. A stabilized suspension of nanotubes is introduced in a capillary containing an aqueous metal [...]
