Precise Capillary-Assisted Nanoparticle assembly in Reusable Templates

Ana Conde Rubio, Henry Shao-Chi Yu

We show a scalable process to fabricate reusable silicon templates with funnel- and cone-shaped traps for the capillary-assisted particle assembly (CAPA) technique. The assembly yield of 100 nm AuNPs in funnel traps is as high as 94% and the median of the ...

Impact of oxygen content in powders on the morphology of the laser molten tracks in preparation for additive manufacturing of silicon

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Lucas Güniat, Marc Leparoux

Powder additive pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm), with the aim of preparing AM of such material. The influence of oxygen content in the initial silicon powders on the continuous tracks morphology was investigated. It was found that the initial oxyg ...

Development of a monolithic near-field optomechanical system

Ryan Daniel Schilling

In the same year as Einstein's annus mirabilis, English engineer and physicist John Flemming patented the first rectifying diode, which he called the "Flemming valve". Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect would change our understanding of the nature ...

Aqueous metal-organic solutions for YSZ thin film inkjet deposition

Andreas Stephan Lesch

Inkjet printing of 8% Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) thin films is achieved by designing a novel water-based reactive ink for Drop-on-Demand (DoD) inkjet printing. The ink formulation is based on a novel chemical strategy that consists of a combination of meta ...

Quantum information density scaling and qubit operation time constraints of CMOS silicon-based quantum computer architectures

Edoardo Charbon, Fabio Sebastiano

Even the quantum simulation of an apparently simple molecule such as Fe2S2 requires a considerable number of qubits of the order of 106, while more complex molecules such as alanine (C3H7NO2) require about a hundred times more. In order to assess such a mu ...

A primary battery-on-a-chip using monolayer graphene

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

We present here a bottom-up approach for realizing on-chip on-demand batteries starting out with chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene. Single graphene monolayers contacted by electrode lines on a silicon chip serve as electrodes. The anode and cathode ...

Near/Sub-Threshold Circuits and Approximate Computing: The Perfect Combination for Ultra-Low-Power Systems

Christian Enz, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

While sub/near-threshold design offers the minimal power and energy consumption, such approach strongly deteriorates circuit performances and robustness against PVT (process/voltage/temperature) variations, leading to gigantic speed penalties and large sil ...
