Advanced Nanofabrication Process for High-Precision Nanodevices

NIST Inventors
Samuel M. Stavis and Michael Gaitan
This invention introduces a nanofabrication process that enables the creation of highly complex and precise nanodevices. It enhances the ability to manipulate biomolecules and other microscopic structures. The process improves dimensional control, allowing for more intricate designs. It also

Advanced Heat-Based Sensor for Detecting Light and Energy Accurately

NIST Inventors
Chris Yung , David Harber and Nathan A Tomlin
This invention introduces a broadband electrical substitution radiometer that measures radiation across a wide spectrum without requiring external calibration. It consists of a thermal isolation platform, an electrical thermometer-heater, and an optical absorber, enabling highly accurate radiometry
Close-up of an emerald green circuit board highlighting the three-dimensional topography of this miniature electronic ecosystem.

Advanced Wafer Bonding for High-Density Semiconductor Integration

NIST Inventors
Eric Stanton and Nima Nader
This invention is a new method for bonding different types of computer wafers called "heterogeneous integration," which allows multiple materials and components to be combined into a single, more advanced electronic device. This invention creates matching pockets in new wafers to fit over existing
Depiction of miniaturized atomic beam source. (a) Schematic of the Rb beam source. (b) Image of assembled device. (c) Rb fluorescence spectrum measuring the transverse velocity distribution of the atomic beam, and Rb absorption spectrum measuring the Rb vapor density feeding the channel array. A saturated absorption spectrum from a natural abundance Rb cell is included for reference.

Chip-Scale Atomic Beam System

NIST Inventors
Elizabeth Donley , John Kitching and William McGehee
The invention is a device for creating a collimated atomic beam in an evacuated vacuum package fabricated from lithographically defined or machined, planar structures and with components to source atomic vapor and passive pumps to maintain vacuum conditions. We have developed a chip-scale system for
