Commercially Available High-Throughput Dip Pen Nanolithography®

Haaheim J., Nafday O., Fragala J., Shile R., Val V., NanoInk, US

We present methods and applications of the commercially available 2D nano PrintArray(TM), which provides massive scalability for dip pen nanolithography. We will discuss current applications and future development.

Ceramic foams directly-coated with flame-made V2O5/TiO2

Schimmoeller B., Schulz H., Pratsinis S.E., Bareiss A., Reitzmann A., Kraushaar-Czanetzki B., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich ), CH

Flame-made airborne V2O5/TiO2 nanoparticles were deposited directly onto mullite foam supports making ready-to-use catalysts for the o-xylene conversion to phthalic anhydride. These particles containing 10 wt.% V2O5 were made by combustion of liquid precursor sprays [...]

Micro Patterning Sensor Layers by Flame Deposition and Annealing

Tricoli A., Graf M., Mayer F., Kühne S., Hierlemann A., Pratsinis S.E., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich ), CH

A wafer-level, CMOS-compatible, dry process for in-situ synthesis, deposition and annealing of nanostructured, porous metal-oxide layers for gas sensors is presented. First, lace-like, nanostructured layers of pure or Pt-doped SnO2 featuring high porosity (98%) are [...]

Dip Pen Nanolithography®: A Maturing Technology for High-Throughput Flexible Nanopatterning

Haaheim J.R., Tevaarwerk E.R., Fragala J., Shile R., NanoInk Inc, US

Precision nanoscale deposition is a fundamental requirement for much of current nanoscience research. Further, depositing a wide range of materials as nanoscale features onto diverse surfaces is a challenging requirement for nanoscale processing systems. As [...]
