  • Semiconductor and device nanotechnology and methods for their manufacture
    Patent number: 6946197
    Abstract: Device nanotechnology based on silicon wafers and other substrates is described. Methods for preparing such devices are discussed. The teachings allow integration of current semiconductor device, sensor device and other device fabrication methods with nanotechnology. Integration of nanotubes and nanowires to wafers is discussed. Sensors, electronics, biomedical and other devices are presented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2004

  • Nanostructured ceramic platform for micromachined devices and device arrays
    Patent number: 6705152
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a type of nanostructured ceramic platform for gas sensors and sensor arrays. These sensors comprise micromachined anodic aluminum oxide films, which contains extremely high density (e.g., 1011 cm−2) nanoscale pores. Sensing materials deposited inside this self-organized network of nanopores have ultra-high surface area and nanometer grain structure, therefore enabling high sensitivity. Refractory nature of alumina ceramic enables the desired robustness, long lifetime and stability in harsh environment. This sensor platform can been used for both chemical gas and physical (humidity, temperature) sensors and sensor arrays.
