Plasticity at the micron scale
Over a scale which extends from about a fraction of a micron to tens of microns, metals display a strong sizedependence when deformed non uniformly into the plastic range: smaller is stronger. This eect has important implications for an increasing number of applications in electronics, structural materials and MEMS. Plastic behavior at this scale cannot be characterized by conventional plastic...

متن کاملElectronic refrigeration at the quantum limit.
We demonstrate quantum-limited electronic refrigeration of a metallic island in a low-temperature microcircuit. We show that matching the impedance of the circuit enables refrigeration at a distance, of about 50 microm in our case, through superconducting leads with a cooling power determined by the quantum of thermal conductance. In a reference sample with a mismatched circuit this effect is a...
متن کاملInsulating behavior of lambda-DNA on the micron scale.
We have investigated the electrical conductivity of lambda-DNA using DNA covalently bonded to Au electrodes. Thiol-modified dTTP was incorporated into the "sticky" ends of bacteriophage lambda-DNA using DNA polymerase. Two-probe measurements on such molecules provide a hard lower bound for the resistivity rho>10(6)Omega cm at bias potentials up to 20 V, in conflict with recent claims of moderat...
متن کاملThermo-Mechanical Failure Criterion at the Micron Scale in Electronic Devices
Thermo-mechanical failures may occur in the passivation layer of micro-electronic devices during the fabrication process. These are in form of cracks which initiate at keyhole corners. In order to predict and eventually prevent these cracks a failure criterion is presented, based on an average value of the elastic strain energy in the vicinity of a reentrant corner of any angle. The proposed st...
