A Fully Anlytical Model for Carbon Nanotube FETs including Quantum Capacitances and Electrostatics

Wei L., Frank D.J., Chang L., Wong H.S.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

In this paper, an analytical model of intrinsic carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs) is presented based on ballistic transport and careful analysis of the quantum capacitances, which requires neither iteration nor numeric integration. Essential [...]

Design, Fabrication and Characterization of Inverse Adiabatic Fiber-To-Chip Couplers

Araghchini M., Khilo A., Holzwarth C.W., Dahlem M.S., Smith H.I., Ippen E.P., Kärtner F.X., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

In silicon photonics, light sources are typically located off-chip and connected to the chip with optical fibers. The problem of efficient coupling between the fiber and a submicron waveguide is challenging because the mode areas [...]

Design and Fabrication of a Multi-Axis MEMS Force Sensor with Integrated Carbon Nanotube Based Piezoresistors

Cullinan M.A., Panas R.M., Culpepper M.L., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Nanonewton level, multi-axis force sensing is required for many biology, materials science and nanomanufacturing applications. Unfortunately, these requirements are difficult to achieve given the size, sensitivity and fabrication limitations associated with existing small-scale sensing techniques. [...]

Magnetic nanoparticles as components of magnetoresistance sensors: the gGMR-sensor

Weddemann A., Ennen I., Regtmeier A., Hütten A., Zahn M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Superparamagnetic microbeads and nanoparticles have a wide range of applications. Due to their magnetic stray field they influence soft magnetic material nearby which allows for the magnetic recognition of such particles by magnetoresistive sensors. Such [...]

Fabrication of nanostructured microworms for sensor applications

Yagüe J.L., Dubach J.M., Ozaydin-Ince G., Clark H.A., Gleason K.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

A novel method to create in vivo sensors for multiple types of ions and molecules is presented. Using initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD), a gentle process which preserves functional pendant groups and enables conformal coatings, [...]

Continuous Growth of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Forests

Guzman de Villoria R., Wardle B.L., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising materials due their numerous applications in flexible electronic devices, biosensors and multifunctional aircraft materials, among others. However, the costly production of aligned carbon nanotubes, generally [...]
