Brief Bio: Xia Liu received her Ph.D. in Institute of Microelectronics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2017. From September 2012 to October 2013, she was a visiting student in University of California at Berkeley. From August 2017 to October 2018, Dr. Liu was entitled as a Wen H. Ko Fellow at Case Western Reverse University (USA). Currently, she is a researcher scientist in Microsystems laboratory, EPFL. She has demonstrated outstanding effort to research and explorations in micro/nanoscale devices and integrated systems, both at the frontiers of fundamental device physics and toward cutting-edge micro/nanotechnologies for emerging applications. She has authored or co-authored more than 10 peer-reviewed journal papers during last two years. With her PhD dissertation titled “Cardiomyocyte-Driven Energy Harvester and Ultrahigh Piezoelectric Nanofibers”, she received the “Tsinghua University Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, First Prize” in 2017. She also received the title of Excellent Ph.D. Graduate of Beijing in 2017. Her current research interest is focused on micro energy harvesting, advanced fabrication of 2D materials, devices and applications.

Single-layer materials

In materials science, the term single-layer materials or 2D materials refers to crystalline solids consisting of a single layer of atoms. These materials are promising for some applications but remain the focus of research. Single-layer materials derived from single elements generally carry the -ene suffix in their names, e.g. graphene. Single-layer materials that are compounds of two or more elements have -ane or -ide suffixes. 2D materials can generally be categorized as either 2D allotropes of various elements or as compounds (consisting of two or more covalently bonding elements).

Photolithography

In integrated circuit manufacturing, photolithography or optical lithography is a general term used for techniques that use light to produce minutely patterned thin films of suitable materials over a substrate, such as a silicon wafer, to protect selected areas of it during subsequent etching, deposition, or implantation operations. Typically, ultraviolet light is used to transfer a geometric design from an optical mask to a light-sensitive chemical (photoresist) coated on the substrate.

Thin film

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer (monolayer) to several micrometers in thickness. The controlled synthesis of materials as thin films (a process referred to as deposition) is a fundamental step in many applications. A familiar example is the household mirror, which typically has a thin metal coating on the back of a sheet of glass to form a reflective interface. The process of silvering was once commonly used to produce mirrors, while more recently the metal layer is deposited using techniques such as sputtering.
