Technologies and Materials for Micro and Nano-electronics

In the article technologies used in micro and nanoelectronics there are shortly described. Attention is devoted to lithography as a basic technology. Principles of electron and ion lithography are mentioned as well as progressive ion projection lithography. Some remarks to nanotubes as means of cold cathodes for vacuum electron tubes for nanoelectronics are presented.

Nano-Tera.CH: Nano-technologies for Tera-scale Problems

The Nano-Tera.CH initiative is a broad engineering program in Switzerland for health and security of humans and the environment, currently funded by the Swiss government. The program rationale is rooted in advances in engineering nano-scale materials and their exploitation in a variety of systems, requiring extreme integration and coordinated control of diverse micro/nano-scale components. Embo...

Computational Nano-mechanics and Multi-scale Simulation

This article provides a review of the computational nanomechanics, from the ab initio methods to classical molecular dynamics simulations, and multitemporal and spatial scale simulations. The recent improvements and developments are briefly discussed. Their applications in nanomechanics and nanotubes are also summarized.

Micro to Nano – Scaling Packaging Technologies for Future Microsystems

As the development of microelectronics is still driving towards further miniaturization new materials, processes and technologies are crucial for the realization of future cost effective microsystems and components. These future systems will not only consist of SMDs and ICs assembled on a substrate, but will potentially integrate also living cells, organelles, nanocrystals, tubules and other ti...
