Electric Field Assisted Placement of Carbon Nanotubes Using Sacrificial Graphene Electrodes

Engel M., Farmer D., Tirapu Azpiroz J., Seo J.-W.T., Kang J., Avouris P., Hersam M.C., Krupke R., Steiner M., IBM Research, BR

Here we detail a complete process flow to overcome the challenge of placement of carbon nanotubes on solid surfaces, limiting "bottom-up", large-scale integration in semiconductor process technology. To date most bottom up placement strategies are [...]

Towards rational de novo design of peptides for inorganic interfaces

Biggs M.J., University of Edinburgh, UK

Proteins at inorganic interfaces occur across science, technology and nature – protein arrays, prostheses such as stents and artificial heart valves, biomimetic assembly of nanoparticles, and anti-freeze proteins are just a few examples from many. [...]

Development of Carbon Nanotubes Vacuum Field Emission Devices

Kang W.P., Wong Y.M., Davidson J.L., Kerns D.V., Huang J.H., Galloway K.F., Vanderbilt University, US

This report focuses on the design, fabrication and characterization of vacuum field emission (VFE) devices, specifically on the triode and integrated differential amplifier (diff-amp), utilizing CNTs synthesized by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition in conjunction [...]

A Novel Process for Flexible Nano Electronic Web Production

Picard G., Schneider J., Seye M-F, Nanometrix Inc., CA

Nanometrix presents a new concept to make monolayers and ultra-thin films for nano electronic web processing. The novel method was designed ex novo to match with today's industrial production line standards. In this process, the [...]
