| Title: 2D or not 2D: Electrical Continuity of Graphene and How to Measure It |
|
Abstract: For nearly all applications of large-area graphene, the presence of cracks, rips, holes and tears is unacceptable. In this work, several non-destructive, large-area characterization techniques, including micro four-point probe and Terahertz time-domain spectroscopic conductance mapping, as well as gigapixel quantitative optical microscopy are for the first time combined to study the electrical continuity of chemical vapor deposited graphene on length scales from 100 nm to 100 um. We investigate how catalyst crystallinity, domain size distribution, growth parameters as well as the transfer process, affect the chance of making truly two-dimensional graphene. |

| Title: Ultimate Ring Resonator for Atomic Force Microscopy: A Possible Way |
| for Biosensing |
|
Abstract: Since its discovery, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has paved the way for new research experiments in physics allowing multi physics probing combined with ultimate imaging at the atomic scale. Microlevers tapered by metal or active materials have allowed unprecedented experiments leading to original electrical, mechanical and magnetic measurements, among others. It has been now more than 10 years since biologists started paying attention to this wonderful instrument. At the early stage, they were satisfied by the AFM characteristics, but now, they expect better performances not only in air, but in liquid medium as well. In order to comply with this requirements, we designed a ring resonator featuring interesting data for biosensing, e.g. the ability to operate the probe at very high frequency compare to standard AFM levers. |

| Title: Nanostructure Conducting Polymer for Energy-Related Applications |
|
Abstract: Conjugated organic materials, possessing electrical and optical properties similar to metals and inorganic semiconductors, are capable of bringing new opportunities because of their soft nature, and thus allowing high flexibility. Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): Polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) and Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have been investigated most often because of their reasonable electric conductivity, low oxidation potentials, biocompatibility, and environmental stability at high temperature. In this presentation, I will introduce different facile approaches to enhance conductivity of PEDOT: PSS and fabricate nanostructure PEDOT films as well as their energy-related applications. |

| Title: Multiparametric Imaging of Nanomaterials by Dynamic Quantitative |
| Nanomechanical Mapping |
|
Abstract: Force spectroscopy is a powerful method to measure physical properties of materials. Recently progress has been made in the characterization of nanomechanical properties using Dynamic Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping (DQNM). DQNM has the ability to recover the tip–sample force waveforms which provide high-speed force–distance curves and allow specific material properties to be measured with high spatial resolution. This talk will review the recently developed experimental technique and its applications in quantitative imaging of biological molecules and nano materials. |

| Title: Key Enabling Technologies for Scanning Probe Microscopy |
|
Abstract: Manipulation and interrogation at the nanometer scale with a scanning probe microscope (SPM) necessitate high-resolution sensing and positioning systems with atomic-scale accuracy. This talk will review recent progress in cantilever-deflection sensing for atomic force microscopy (AFM) using nonoptical means, including schemes suitable for multi-resolution imaging. A second focus will be a key enabling technology for SPM, namely, nanopositioning, and discuss four technology elements that are vital for high-speed nanopositioning: (1) a magnetoresistance-based high-bandwidth and low-noise nanoscale sensing scheme, (2) dual-stage nanopositioners, (3) noise-resilient feedback controllers using hybrid control, and (4) optimized scan trajectories. |

| Title: CMOS MEMS: A Key Technology Towards the “More Than Moore” Era |
|
Abstract: The mature CMOS fabrication processes are available in many IC foundries. It is cost-effective to leverage the existing CMOS fabrication technologies to implement MEMS devices. On the other hand, the MEMS devices could also add values to the IC industry as the Moore’s law reaching its limit. The CMOS MEMS could play a key role to bridge the gap between the CMOS and MEMS technologies. The CMOS MEMS also offers the advantage of monolithic integration of ICs and micro mechanical components. This talk introduces the approach to implement and integrate various MEMS transducers by leveraging standard CMOS processes. Note that other process platforms (e.g. poly-Si, CNT, glass, metal, etc.) are also of importance for different MEMS applications. In future, these process platforms could enhance the variety and performance of on-chip devices as moving towards the “More than Moore” era. |

| Title: Nanometrology Using Scanning Probe Microscopy Methods |
|
Abstract: Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) belongs to the high resolution methods for imaging of micro- and nanostructures. This technology has been used successfully in the university and industry research laboratories for over two decades. Despite progress in this field a lot of effort must be done in order to enable quantitave (in other words metrological) surface investigations. In this presentation latest results on metrological applications of the SPM related methods will be presented. |

Abstract: With a newly developed feedback system control (FSC.X) technique, we can rapidly optimize the drug-dose combination for manipulating the aberrant nano components in the complex system of a specific patient. In this case, we will be able to prescribe the personalized drug for a patient, rather than just base on the disease being diagnosed. |

| Title: Defects in Two-dimensional Materials |
|
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene, h-BN, and transition metal dichalcogenides have recently received lots of attention due to their unique properties. All these materials have defects, which naturally affect their characteristics. Moreover, defects can deliberately be introduced to tailor the properties of the system. In my talk, I will present the results of our first-principles theoretical studies of defects in 2D systems, compare them to the experimental transmission electron microscopy data, and discuss how defect and impurities can be used to engineer the electronic structure of 2D materials. |

| Title: Metrology for 3D Interconnect Processes |
|
Abstract: The 2013 ITRS expands on the new urgency for Metrology for 3D Interconnects to include wafer alignment, interface bonding, and through silicon vias (TSV). The main challenges for 3D metrology involve measuring high aspect ratio TSV, and the opaque nature of silicon wafer materials that limit conventional optical microscopy techniques. This talk presents a 3D IC metrology development status on the basis of what we have known from 3D Interconnect manufacturing process at ITRI. The main topics covered here are HAR TSV depth/profile measurement, thinned wafer thickness/bow/warpage measurement and metal film thickness measurement. |

| Title: Bessel Beam Machining and Light-field Metrology |
|
Abstract: Optical based micromachining has been gaining popularity due to its flexibility and ease of use. However, traditional optical systems are affected by a diffraction limit where the focal spot size is limited by an incident wavelength and numerical aperture of the system. In order to shrink the focal spot, one approach has been to increase the numerical aperture of the lens. A lens with a larger NA can reduce the spot size but also simultaneously reduces the depth-of-focus (DOF) which increases the difficulty in system alignment. By extending the non-diffracting beam demonstrated in 1987 by Durnin, termed a Bessel beam due to its 10 to 100 times depth-of-focus when compared to that of traditional Gaussian beams, we have channeled our efforts towards adopting finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation and experimentation to facilitate Bessel beam micromachining techniques. Precision metrology based on furthering the light-field techniques which can improve several traditional measurement techniques will also be examined. |

Abstract: Today, nanopositioning and nanomeasuring technology provides high-precision measurement and positioning of objects across different scales, from sub-nanometres up to several centimetres. Continuing rapid progress in some key fabrication technologies structures are reaching atomic dimensions and are becoming more and more complex. The Nanopositioning and Nanomeasuring Machine, developed at the Technische Universität Ilmenau, has got a measuring range of 25 mm x 25 mm x 5 mm, 0.02 nanometer resolution. This machine is suitable not only to measure with an outstanding nanometer accuracy but also to manipulate and to fabricate on the nanoscale. |

Abstract: Low-dimensional quantum systems from conventional semiconductor nanocrystals to, nano-graphene and carbon nanodots exhibit significantly different optoelectronic properties compared with bulk materials. The origin of some unusual phenomena remains unknown, which is making an major obstacle for their broad device applications. In this talk, we will introduce typical ultrafast spectroscopic technologies such as single-photon counting, pump probe, and fluorescent upconversion transient absorption, and their applications on revealing optoelectronic and electro-optical conversion dynamics of the nano-scaled materials. |

| Title: Epitaxial Graphene on SiC: Gateless Patterning, Efficient Switches and a |
| Concept for Digital Circuits |
|
Abstract: I will present recent progress obtained with the material system epitaxial graphene on SiC (0001). In solid state electronics, functionality is related to material contrast. In that spirit, we introduce a lateral patterning of the charge density in the graphene layer by locally varying intercalation. Further, we employ the substrate SiC as a semiconductor, which can be used as semiconducting transistor channel. By combining these two material contrasts, we achieve a system which allows the design of switches with high on/off ratio as well as the definition of logical and analog circuits. A variety of functionalities is presented. |

| Title: Fabrication and Applications of Nanostructures for Highly Efficient Light |
| Extraction |
|
Abstract: Green energy devices, such as LEDs and solar cells, suffer from low external quantum efficiency due to the limited light extraction. We designed and fabricated different shapes and dimensions of nanostructures on the devices by using nanoimprint and nanosphere lithography. For the OLEDs, the nanopillers surface with the nanomech silver anode resulted in an extraction efficiency enhancement up to 2.7 times. For the OPVs, 35% enhancement of power conversion efficiency was achieved. |

| Title: Non-Vector Space Control for Nano Manipulations |
|
Abstract: Nano meter positioning accuracy has been a major bottle neck in manufacturing automation in semiconductor industries. In addition, nano meter scale motion control capability will enable a direct sensing and manipulation at a molecular level, e.g. for drug discovery and disease diagnostics and treatments. In this talk a new motion control theory, i.e. non-vector space control, will be introduced. The dynamics associated with the motion control will be described in a non-vector space mathematical framework. This non-vector space dynamics model enables the development of the compressive feedback method that can overcome the major difficulties with high accuracy motion control including sensor noise and system calibration. The applications of the non-vector space motion control method will also be discussed, in particular nano manufacturing and biomedical systems. |
