Pennsylvania State University
The Penn State Nanofabrication Facility (Nanofab) is a professionally staffed class 10 clean room facility providing a full range of processing capabilities for substrates as large as 6" in diameter and some processing of 8" diameter substrates. The Penn State Nanofab is focused on developing, sustaining, and utilizing micro- and nanofabrication in the support of user R & D activities in a wide range of areas including physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, and engineering. The Nanofab is also committed to providing state-of-the-art micro and nanofabrication facilities to the Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology (NMT) Partnership with the State of Pennsylvania. The NMT Partnership uses the Nanofab’s comprehensive lithography, deposition, etch and characterization capabilities for education and outreach activities including 2 and 4 year degree education in conjunction with PA Community Colleges and State System of Higher Education Institutions, Nanotech Camps for students in grades 7-12 and workshops for secondary and post-secondary educators. |

Emerging Lithographic Technologies for NanopatterningAs devices become progressively smaller, nanofabrication is increasingly essential for the realization of nanotechnologies that require such structures. Emerging Lithographic Technologies for Nanopatterning reviews conventional and non-conventional technologies for fabricating semiconductor circuits, particularly on microchips. Emphasizing multidisciplinary principles, methodologies, and practical applications, coverage includes emerging techniques for next-generation semiconductor lithography, scanning probe microscope lithography, self-assembly, imprint lithography, and techniques specifically developed for making nanoscale particles, wires, and tubes as well as molecular circuits and devices. What is Self-Assembly?Prof. John A. Pelesko, a mathematician with the University of Delaware, describes self-assembly and offers his views on how understanding of models and mathematics of self-assembly can improve man-made engineering.
