Ordered mesoporous silica films were synthesized using pre-organized block copolymer templates in supercritical carbon dioxide. Poly(ethylene oxide-block-propylene oxide-block-ethylene oxide), PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO, films doped with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p TSA
Incorporating discrete cell adhesion motifs onto substrates in a defined orientation with variable spacing and increasing concentration offers a robust strategy for measuring ligand dependent cell-material interactions and encouraging specific cell

Silicon nanowire (SiNW) field effect transistors (FETs) with channel widths down to 20 nm have been fabricated by a conventional 'top-down?approach using electron-beam lithography. The SiNW device shows higher inversion channel current density than the

This paper describes an approach to adhere retinal cells on micropatterned polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) lines adsorbed on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces, using microfluidic networks. PEMs were patterned on flat oxidized PDMS surfaces by

A small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) porosimetry technique is presented for characterization of pore structure in nanoporous thin films. The technique is applied to characterize a spin-on organosilicate low dielectric constant (low-k) material with a
This paper contains higlights from a technology roadmap on compound semiconductors. This roadmap is part on an overall technology roadmap on RF and analog-mixed signal (AMS) technologies for wireless communications that is in the 2003 International
We propose two verification methods for measurements of noise parameters of amplifiers, particularly low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). One method is a direct measurement of the parameter Trev, the noise temperature from the amplifier input, and the comparison

One- and two-photon photoemission spectra have been measured for monolayers of oligo(para-phenylene-ethynylene) thiolate chemisorbed on gold surfaces. Within 5 eV of the Fermi level, four states are observed, two occupied (2.0 eV and 4.0 eV below the Fermi
With the advent of e-manufacturing including automated process control (APC), such as fault detection classification (FDC), more stringent accuracy requirements for time stamps are required to perform analysis intended for process and business critical

High-throughput metrologies for the rapid and systematic evaluation of synthetic materials, which would elucidate a candidate s potential biocompatibility, are needed. New synthetic methodologies have enabled a remarkable advance in the rational design of
Novel inorganic fluorophores called semiconductor nanocrystals have recently been incorporated into protein, antibody and microbead oligonucleotide detection methods where previously, organic dyes were universally employed. To improve quantitation of

We have measured the counting errors of a 7-junction electron pump when charge is pumped against a voltage difference. At voltages above about 50 υV, we find that the errors increase exponentially with both pump voltage and temperature, in agreement with

A combinatorial research methodology is discussed to determine the material factors that control line edge roughness (LER), shape, and critical dimension (CD) of developed photo-resist features. The approach involves generating a gradient of processing
