Nanostencil technique and its applications to Nanoelectronics

2005
Talks

Abstract

The Nanostencil technique is an emerging nanopatterning method based on shadow mask evaporation. Micro and sub-micron apertures (down to 100-nm scale) are patterned in 100-500 nm thick low-stress silicon nitride membranes. The membrane is brought in close proximity to a substrate and metal is shadow evaporated through the apertures on to a desired substrate. This technique has been successfully applied on full range-wafers, with micro- and nano-apertures in the same device. In this presentation we will give an introduction to the technique, the latest improvements achieved by in LMIS and the potential applications for Nanoelectronics and CMOS technology.

Proximity sensor

A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes in the field or return signal. The object being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensor's target. Different proximity sensor targets demand different sensors. For example, a capacitive proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor might be suitable for a plastic target; an inductive proximity sensor always requires a metal target.

Charge qubit

In quantum computing, a charge qubit (also known as Cooper-pair box) is a qubit whose basis states are charge states (i.e. states which represent the presence or absence of excess Cooper pairs in the island). In superconducting quantum computing, a charge qubit is formed by a tiny superconducting island coupled by a Josephson junction (or practically, superconducting tunnel junction) to a superconducting reservoir (see figure). The state of the qubit is determined by the number of Cooper pairs that have tunneled across the junction.

CMOS

Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss", siːmɑːs, -ɒs) is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions. CMOS technology is used for constructing integrated circuit (IC) chips, including microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory chips (including CMOS BIOS), and other digital logic circuits.
