  • System for transfer of nanomembrane elements with improved preservation of spatial integrity
    Patent number: 10857773
    Abstract: Transfer of nanoscale elements from a substrate on which they were manufactured or transferred to a flexible sheet may be performed by local and progressive deformation of the flexible sheet over the surface of the substrate to attach and lift the nanoscale elements from the substrate with controlled inter-element registration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Kevin Thomas Turner, David Scott Grierson
