Pa P.S., National Taipei University of Education, TW

A new design of ellipsoidal anode using micro-electrochemical etching as a precise reclaim fabrication by nanoscale removal processes for In2O3SnO2 conductive microstructure from a surface of display’s color filter surface is presented. Through the design [...]

Optical properties of Zinc Oxide/Polymer Nanocomposite

Singh S.C., Swarnkar R.K., Gopal R., University of Allahabad, IN

Semiconductor/polymer Nanocomposite materials have wide range of applications in optoelectronic industry in the fabrication of LEDs, Photo detectors, Displays etc due to their composition dependent electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties. ZnO/ PEG Nanocomposite materials [...]

Fabrication of Guided-mode Resonance Devices by Soft Lithography in Hybrimers

Lee K.J., Magnusson R., Jin J.H., Bae B.-S., University of Texas at Arlington, US

Diffractive optical elements and photonic crystals consist of fine spatial patterns designed to affect the spectrum, polarization, phase and other properties of light. Periodic layered structures are widely used in integrated optics, communication systems, spectroscopy, [...]

Stretegies for fabrication of nanostructures using focused ion beam technology

Gadgil V.J., Mesa+ Institute for Nanotechnology, NL

Recently FIB is increasingly being used for fabrication of nanosturctures and rapid prototyping. In the area of optical sciences, FIB is used for fabrication of 2D and 3D photonic devices. One of the problems in [...]

The first Italian micro exposure tool for EUV lithography: design guidelines and experimental results

Flora F., Bollanti S., Di Lazzaro P., Mezi L., Murra D., Torre A., ENEA, IT

The first Italian Micro Exposure Tool (MET) for EUV lithography has been developed at the ENEA Research Laboratories in Frascati (Italy). In spite of the very low cost of the Schwarzschild optics, the specific design [...]

Cost Saving Strategies: Using a project planning process that can integrate capital and operational spending into a Nanofabrication Business Plan

Gregg A., Strnad M., Abbie Gregg, Inc., US

AGI will show how a project planning process that includes a business case analysis for nanofabrication buildings can help with many of the design, construction and operational decisions for the buildings. The typical building project [...]

Focused Ion Beam machining of large and complex nanopatterns

Wilhelmi O., Roussel L, Anzalone P., Stokes D.J., Faber P., Reyntjens S., FEI Company, NL

Modern FIB columns have not only reduced minimum spot sizes, but has also improved beam profiles at large and intermediate FIB currents. Focused ion beams with high beam currents and yet small spot sizes and [...]

Structural and Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized using Continuous Spray Pyrolysis Reactor

Dutta V., Phanikaran B. V., Dwivedi C., Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, IN

ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by injecting atomized droplets of spray solution containing zinc precursor into a heated reactor. Structural and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles thus created were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy [...]

Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous alumina films with controlled physical and chemical attributes

Monfared N.A., Atre S., Kishton R., Varadarajan S., Oregon State University, US

The performance of nano-porous surfaces and nano-porous membranes are highly dependent on the pore’s morphology, size and chemistry as well as their density and homogeneity. Therefore it is important to be able to control these [...]

Catalyst-Free, High-Speed Synthesis of ZnO Nanostructures

Pedersen J., Teh K.S., San Francisco State University, US

We demonstrate a rapid and catalyst-free method of synthesizing ZnO nanostructures on Si(100) using a low-power (65W) induction heating process. Our preliminary results show that we could grow ZnO nanostructures of specific geometries ranging from [...]
