摘要： A method is provided for fabricating molecular electronic devices comprising at least a bottom electrode and a molecular switch film on the bottom electrode. The method includes forming the bottom electrode by a process including: cleaning portions of the substrate where the bottom electrode is to be deposited; pre-sputtering the portions; depositing a conductive layer on at least the portions; and cleaning the top surface of the conductive layer. Advantageously, the conductive electrode properties include: low or controlled oxide formation (or possibly passivated), high melting point, high bulk modulus, and low diffusion. Smooth deposited film surfaces are compatible with Langmuir-Blodgett molecular film deposition. Tailored surfaces are further useful for SAM deposition. The metallic nature gives high conductivity connection to molecules. Barrier layers may be added to the device stack, i.e., Al2O3 over the conductive layer.

摘要： Low cost methods for fabricating microneedles are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the fabrication method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a metal-containing seed layer on the top surface of the substrate; forming a nonconductive pattern on a portion of the seed layer; plating a first metal on the seed layer and over the edge of the nonconductive pattern to create a micromold with an opening that exposes a portion of the nonconductive pattern; plating a second metal onto the micromold to form a microneedle in the opening; separating the micromold with the microneedle formed therein from the seed layer and the nonconductive pattern; and selectively etching the micromold so as to release the microneedle. In another embodiment, the micromold is not required. The method according to this embodiment includes: forming a recess with an apex in a substrate; forming a seed layer on the substrate; forming a nonconductive pattern on a portion of the seed layer that is on a sidewall surface of the recess; plating an electrically conductive material over the seed layer and over the edge of the nonconductive pattern to form a plated layer with an opening that exposes a portion of the nonconductive pattern; and separating the plated layer from the seed layer and the nonconductive pattern to release a hollow microneedle with an offset opening.

摘要： An apparatus for transverse characterization of materials includes a lower pattern of contacts, separated by spacings, a material, and an upper pattern of a multiplicity of contacts, separated by spacings differing from the spacings of the lower pattern. The transverse characterization method includes receiving lower pattern of a multiplicity of contacts, separated by spacings along a surface, with a material above the surface, successively placing an upper contact near the upper surface of the material in an upper pattern of locations separated by spacings differing from the spacings of the lower pattern, measuring the characteristics between the upper contact and one or more contacts of the lower pattern and evaluating the measured characteristics to previous measurements, wherein the evaluation provides the transverse characterization.

摘要： A device for precision alignment of a write element of a tape head to a transport direction of a media that is transported across the tape head is disclosed. The tape head includes at least one alignment element that is cofabricated with the write element so that both the write element and the alignment element have a fixed orientation with respect to a magnetic axis of the tape head. The alignment element and the write element can be fabricated on the tape head using standard microelectronic photolithographic processes. Preferably, the tape head includes a plurality of alignment elements. Those alignment elements are operative to write alignment transitions onto the media. The alignment transitions can be observed to determine if they are indicative of the write element having a predetermined orientation with respect to the transport direction. A read transducer can be used to generate signals from the alignment transitions and those signals can be analyzed to determine if the predetermined orientation of the write element has been achieved. The tape head can include horizontal and/or vertical elements for a gross visual alignment of the tape head to the media. The alignment transitions can be read by a data element of a separate data head. A signal from the data element can be used to adjust the azimuth of the data head with respect to a direction of transport. In servo writer applications where servo code is prerecorded on the media, the alignment transitions can be used to align the write elements of a servo write head to the transport direction of the media so that inter band skew between adjacent servo bands is significantly reduced.
