Germanium antimony sulphide nano wires fabricated by chemical vapour deposition and e-beam lithography

Huang C-C, Tai C-Y, Liu C-J, Simpson R.E., Knight K., Hewak D.W., University of Southampton, UK

Germanium antimony sulphide (Ge-Sb-S) amorphous thin films and nano wires have been directly deposited and patterned on SiO2-on-silicon substrates by means of chemical vapour deposition, e-beam lithography and dry etching. The Ge-Sb-S thin films were [...]

The Mechanical Fabrication of Nanocomposites and Engineered Particles

Huang C-C, Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems, US

The development of nanotechnology is closely related to the new economy full with high tech products towards 21st century. As a new material, the nanoparticle has certainly caught the imaginations of researchers around the world. [...]

Temperature Uniformity and DNA Amplification Efficiency in Micromachined Glass PCR Chip

Huang C-C, Wang M., Liu W-P, Weng K-Y, Yao L-Y, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

We have fabricated glass-based micromachined DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chips with different heater patterns. Two pieces of Pyrex 7740 glass are thermally bonded together to form the PCR reaction channel. The PCR channel was [...]

A Nanoscale Electromechanical Contact Switch for Logic Applications

Huang C-C, Ekinci K.L., Boston University, US

Here, we describe the operation of a nano-electro-mechanical contact switch. The switch design relies on a sharp contact tip integrated to a compliant nanomechanical beam. When the beam is actuated electrostatically, the tip establishes intimate [...]

An Approach for Fabrication of Polymer-based Bio-analytical Microfluidic Devices

Wang M., Weng K-Y, Huang C-C, Liu W-P, Yao L-Y, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

Polymer is well suited as a substrate for bio-application devices due to its high dielectric constant, bio-compatible, low cost and ease of microfabrication. The primary goal is the successful fabrication of microchannels for biochip commonly [...]
