  • Nanocomposite films
    Patent number: 7758708
    Abstract: A thin-film composition of nanocrystal molybdenum in an amorphous metallic matrix may be formed by co-sputtering Mo with aluminum or nickel. NEMS cantilevers may be formed from the film. The films exhibit high nanoindentation hardness and a reduction in roughness and intrinsic stress, while maintaining resistivity in the metallic range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2010
    Assignees: The Governors of the University of Alberta, The University of California
