Metrology Development for the Nanoelectronics Industry at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Dagata J.A., Richter C.A., Silver R.M., Vogel E., Martinez de Pinillos J.V., NIST, US

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has provided and continues to provide critical metrology development for the semiconductor manufacturing industry as it moves from the microelectronic era into the nanoelectronic era. This presentation will [...]

Properties of Self-Assembled Monolayer as an Anti-adhesion Layer on Metallic Nano Stamper

Choi S., Lee N., Kim Y.J., Kang S., Yonsei University, KR

The increasing demand for micro/nano optical components in the fields of optical data storage, optical communication, and digital display has required mass replication of polymeric micro/nano patterns. In nano replication process, surface quality can be [...]

Coating Growth on Nanofibers: Multi-Scale Modeling, Simulations and Experiments

Buldum A., Clemons C., Evans E.A., Kreider K.L., Young G.W., The University of Akron, US

Theoretical and experimental investigations on nanoscale deposition technology are critical for nanoscale materials research and for future nanodevice applications. Moreover, because of the varied and coupled physical phenomena involved (mechanical, electromagnetic, chemical, thermal, etc.), the [...]

Morphology of Nanostructured Films Synthesized via Electrodeposition

Magan R.V., Sureshkumar R., Washington University, US

In this study we perform Brownian dynamics simulations to investigate the influence of surface reaction rate on the development of size dispersion of interfacial nanostructures that form by electrodeposition of non-interacting ions (particles) onto surfaces [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Ferrite Thin Films Obtained by Soft Chemical Methods

Caruntu D., Caruntu G., Caruntu D., Caruntu G., Ganju D., Advanced Materials Research Institute, US

Highly uniform transition metal ferrite films with controllable thickness and composition can be obtained by finely tuning the reaction conditions through soft chemical synthetic approaches. We report here our initial, successful attempts in developing the [...]

Structure Induced Ion Recognition of Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold

Jiang Z., Liu S., Gao Z., Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, SG

The construction and characteristics of self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) anthraquinone-polyether compounds on gold were described. Surprisingly and in contrast to the behavior of the in solution, the SAMs show very high affinity towards alkali metal ions, as [...]

Optical Thin-film Structures for Color Analog, and Digital, Long-term Information Archiving

Wood W.M., Nichols J.E., Kuhara Corporation, US

We have demonstrated the use of selective, reproducible, milling of sub-micron feature sizes by focused ion beam of optical thin film structures made from robust materials for color and B&W, analog and digital image and [...]

Dynamical Properties of Supported Membrane Junctions

Kaizuka Y., Groves J.T., University of California-Berkeley, US

We have recently introduced a supported membrane junction system. The junction consists of a conventional supported bilayer membrane, on top of which a second bilayer membrane is deposited by rupture of a giant vesicle. This [...]

Electrostatic Force Microscopy Study of Open-Circuit Photovoltage from a bR/ITO Heterostructure

Crittenden S., Hillebrecht J., Howell S., Birge R.R., Reifenberger R., Purdue University, US

Bioelectronics offers a potential alternative to Si-based technology because natural evolution and selection have optimized many biological molecules to perform tasks that can only be mimicked by complicated electronic circuits. Purple membrane (PM) patches containing [...]
