  • Array-based architecture for molecular electronics
    Publication number: 20060161876
    Abstract: An architecture for nanoscale electronics is disclosed. The architecture comprises arrays of crossed nanoscale wires having selectively programmable crosspoints. Nanoscale wires of one array are shared by other arrays, thus providing signal propagation between the arrays. Nanoscale signal restoration elements are also provided, allowing an output of a first array to be used as an input to a second array. Signal restoration occurs without routing of the signal to non-nanoscale wires.

  • System and method for processing nanowires with holographic optical tweezers
    Publication number: 20060240591
    Abstract: A system and method for manipulating and processing nanowires in solution with arrays of holographic optical traps. The system and method of the present invention is capable of creating hundreds of individually controlled optical traps with the ability to manipulate objects in three dimensions. Individual nanowires with cross-sections as small as 20 nm and lengths exceeding 20 ?m are capable of being isolated, translated, rotated and deposited onto a substrate with holographic optical trap arrays under conditions where single traps have no discernible influence. Spatially localized photothermal and photochemical processes induced by the well-focused traps can also be used to melt localized domains on individual nanowires and to fuse nanowire junctions.

  • Nanoscale arrays, robust nanostructures, and related devices
    Publication number: 20050253137
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to nanotechnology and sub-microelectronic circuitry, and more particularly to nanoelectronics. One aspect of the invention is directed to nanostructures on substrates. In some cases, the substrate may be or comprise glass and/or polymers, and in some cases, the substrate may be flexible and/or transparent. The present invention is also directed, according to another aspect, to techniques for fabricating nanostructures on substrates. For example, monolayers of nanoscale semiconductors may be etched, e.g. photolithographically, to yield discrete and/or predetermined arrays of nanoscale semiconductors and other articles on a substrate. In one embodiment, the array may include hundreds, thousands, or more of electronic components such as field-effect transistors. Such arrays may be connected to electrodes using photolithographic techniques, and in some cases, without the need for registering individual semiconductor-metal contacts.
