Carbon Nanotube-based Sensor Devices for IC Performance Evaluation

Wright R.G., Kirkland L.V., Zgol M., Adebimpe D., Mulligan R., GMA Industries, Inc., US

A novel approach to the problem of identification of failed integrated circuits (ICs) on electronic circuit boards has been sought that would allow for drastically reducing the costs of the test equipment development and maintenance. [...]

Controlled Synthesis and Directed Assembly of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanofibers for Functional Nanoscale Devices

Merkulov V.I., Melechko A.V, Guillorn M.A., McKnight T.E., Austin D.W., Hale M., Zhang L., Yang X., Hensley D.K., Subich T., Doktycz M.J., Lowndes D.H., Simpson M.L., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

The controlled synthesis and directed assembly of materials at the nanoscale remain two of the most difficult challenges for the realization of functional nanoscale devices. For example, while there has been a great deal of [...]
