Publication number: 20110240344Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the deposition of nanowires and other nanoparticles on surfaces. According to one aspect of the invention, a fluid containing nanoscale objects, such as nanowires, is deposited on a surface having one or more relatively hydrophilic regions and one or more relatively hydrophobic regions.

The fluid is then allowed to evaporate to cause the nanoscale objects to deposit. For instance, the rate of evaporation may be controlled so as to allow the nanoscale objects to substantially deposit at the centers of the regions and/or at a rate that causes the nanoscale objects to become substantially aligned. In some cases, the regions may be relatively small, e.g., having a minimum surface dimension of less than about 3000 nm. In one set of embodiments, one or more cylindrical droplets may be formed on the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2009Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 7931973Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing method of metal structure in multi-layer substrate and structure thereof. The manufacturing method of the present invention comprises following steps: coating at least one photoresist layer on a surface of a dielectric layer, and then exposing the photoresist dielectric layer to define a predetermined position of the metal structure; therefore, removing the photoresist layer at the predetermined position and forming the metal structure at the predetermined position before forming at least one top-cover metal layer on a surface of the metal structure. The present invention can form a cover metal layer covering over the top surface and the two side surfaces, even the under surface of the metal structure, by one single photomask. Moreover, a finer metal structure with higher reliability can be manufactured. Furthermore, a metal structure can be used as a coaxial structure is also realized.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Princo Corp.Inventor: Chih-kuang Yang
