Field-Based 3D Capacitance Modeling for sub-45-nm On-Chip Interconnect

Zhang A., Zhao W., Ye Y., He J., Chen A., Chan M., Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, CN

Considering both two-dimensional and three-dimensional single wire above plate, the proposed method decomposes the electric field into various regions and gives solutions for each part. The total ground capacitance is the summation of all components. [...]

Water Soluble Conducting Polymer Nanocomposite: Toward Electronic Understanding the Catalytic Role of ss-DNA Functionalized Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Ma Y., Chiu P.L., Ali S.R., Serrano A., Chen A., He H., Rutgers University, US

Single-stranded DNA functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (ss-DNA/SWNTs) act as catalytic molecular templates during oxidative polymerization of self-doped polyaniline. We found that not only was the polymerization rate greatly enhanced, but also the quality of the [...]

Fabrication of Periodic Sub-100nm Patterns in SiO2 Template by Electron-beam Lithography

Chen A., Chen P., Chua S.J., Chen A., Chen P., Singapore-MIT Alliance, National University of Singapore (NUS), SG

We report on the fabrication process of SiO2 templates with periodic sub-100nm air hole patterns using electron beam (e-beam) lithography followed by reactive ion etching (RIE). Two-dimensional periodic air holes with sub-100nm dimensions were defined [...]
