Nanotechnology on a Silicon Platform

Principal Investigator Carl Thompson

Co-investigators Eugene Fitzgerald , Caroline Ross


Nanomaterials are expected to be the central components in the next generation of electronic integrated devices, As there is now a strategic need for research to move from material characterization to device and system fabrication, the plan is to develop novel fabrication methods to deliver arrays of nanomaterials spaced and placed at lithographic and sub-lithographic length scales on silicon wafers. Key requirements for the fabrication strategies are to have high scalability and applicability to multiple materials. It will not focus on a singe device or material, but will instead introduce and develop broad methodologies.
