PH 4244 - Techniques and Applications of Nanotechnology

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

The second of a two-course sequence on concepts and techniques of nanotechnology. Novel function and performance can occur with materials or devices of size scales of one to 100 nanometers, a range extending from molecular scale to that of typical linewidths in contemporary microelectronics. Nanosystems may provide entirely new functions, by virtue of access enabled by the small size. Photoand x-ray lithographic patterning. Scanning probe microscopes for observation and for fabrication. Molecular machines as envisioned by Drexler. The role of an der Waals force. Questions of \machine manufacturability on the nm scale. The IBM GMR hard-drive \read head. Micro- and nano-electromechanical devices and systems. Single-electron electronics. Molecular electronics. Prerequisite: PH 3244.
