    摘要: Improved nanotube devices and systems/methods for fabrication thereof are provided. The present disclosure provides systems/methods for depositing controlled numbers of nanotubes with specific properties at predefined locations for the fabrication of nanotube devices. The nanotube devices may be utilized in a range of applications. A bio-fuel cell system that does not require a proton exchange membrane separator and does not need a mediator to transfer charge is provided. This exemplary bio-fuel cell uses enzyme functionalized SWNTs for the anode/cathode. The absence of a membrane in the bio-fuel cell configuration opens up the possibility of other configurations that would otherwise be unfeasible. This includes a bio-fuel cell where the anode/cathode are on the same substrate. Since the electrodes can share the same substrate, the configuration may be integrated with a circuit device on the same substrate. An IC and its power source may be fabricated on the same silicon wafer.

    摘要: A method of depositing nanotubes in a region defined by an aperture is disclosed. The method provides advantageous control over the number of nanotubes to be deposited, as well as the pattern and spacing of nanotubes. Electrophoretic deposition, along with proper configuration of the aperture, allows at least one nanotube to be deposited in a target region with nanometer scale precision. Pre-sorting of nanotubes, e.g., according to their geometries or other properties, may be used in conjunction with embodiments of the invention to facilitate fabrication of devices with specific performance requirements. The method is useful for many applications where it is desirable to deposit more than one nanotube in a defined region. For example, vertical field effect transistor (VFET) designs may benefit from having more than one nanotube forming a channel to allow more current to flow through the device. By controlling the number of nanotubes to be deposited, one can ensure that the VFET output can be designed with sufficient current to meet the parameters of a logic circuit input.

    摘要: This invention relates to compositions and processes for the fabrication of piezoelectric composites having improved figures of merit for both sensor and non-sensor applications. These composites comprise piezoelectric particles embedded in a polymer matrix. The improvements of this invention result from discoveries of the effects of polymer bulk compliance, polymer anisotropy, polymer melt index, and polymer/ceramic wettability on performance. The loss corrected figure of merit (g.sub.h d.sub.h /tan.delta.) obtained for the 0-3 composites is as high as 10.5.times.10.sup.-10 m.sup.2 /N, which is about four times higher than previously published for 0-3 composites of the prior art. Methods are described for the introduction of anisotropy into ceramic particle/polymer composites, so that cancellation effects that degrade the piezoelectric properties of composites can be reduced.
