摘要:
Nanostructures and methods of making the same are described. In one aspect, a film including a vector polymer comprising a payload moiety is formed on a substrate. The film is patterned. Organic components of the patterned film are removed to form a payload-comprising nanoparticle.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for controllably growing nanostructures, such as nanotubes, on a substrate, thus enabling the length and/or orientation of the nanostructures to be selectively controlled. A substrate's surface is selectively patterned to include topological structures, such as a blocking structure protruding from the surface and/or a recess in the surface, for influencing the nanostructure growth along the surface from a catalyst. The topological structures can be located to control the length and/or orientation of the nanostructures differently on different areas of the substrate. The topological structures may be of a substance that chemically inhibits growth of the nanostructure.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for limiting the growth of nanostructures, such as nanotubes, from a catalyst layer. More particularly, systems and methods are provided for growing nanostructures from the periphery of a catalyst layer. In certain embodiments, a catalyst layer from which nanostructures can be grown during a growth process, such as CVD or PECVD, is located on a substrate. The catalyst layer is covered with a covering layer such that the catalyst layer is sandwiched between the substrate and the covering layer. The resulting structure then undergoes a nanostructure growth process. Because the catalyst layer is sandwiched between the substrate and the covering layer, growth of nanostructures is limited to growth from nanoparticles located on the periphery of the catalyst layer. Thus, growth of nanostructures does not result from nanoparticles located in an interior region of the catalyst layer.

A heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), comprises a collector formed over a substrate, a base formed over the collector, an emitter formed over the base, and a tunneling suppression layer between the collector and the base, the tunneling suppression layer fabricated from a material that is different from a material of the base and that has an electron affinity equal to or greater than an electron affinity of the material of the base.
摘要:
A field-effect transistor comprises a substrate, a channel layer over the substrate, a gate insulator, a gate separated from the channel layer by the gate insulator, and a carrier exclusion layer between the channel layer and the gate insulator, wherein the conduction band energy of the carrier exclusion layer is larger than the conduction band energy of the channel layer.
