    摘要: Lithography tools and substrates are aligned by generating geometric interference patterns using optical gratings associated with the lithography tools and substrates. In some embodiments, the relative position between a substrate and lithography tool is adjusted to cause at least one geometric shape to have a predetermined size or shape representing acceptable alignment. In additional embodiments, Moiré patterns that exhibit varying sensitivity are used to align substrates and lithography tools. Furthermore, lithography tools and substrates are aligned by causing radiation to interact with optical gratings positioned between the lithography tools and substrates. Lithography tools include an optical grating configured to generate a portion of an interference pattern that exhibits a sensitivity that increases as the relative position between the tools and a substrate moves towards a predetermined alignment position.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods of forming single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires and resulting nanowire structures. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of fabricating nanowires is disclosed. In the method, a number of nanowire-precursor members are formed. Each of the nanowire-precursor members includes a substantially single-crystal silicon region and a polycrystalline-metallic region. The substantially single-crystal silicon region and the polycrystalline-metallic region of each of the nanowire-precursor members is reacted to form corresponding substantially single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires. In another embodiment of the present invention, a nanowire structure is disclosed. The nanowire structure includes a substrate having an electrically insulating layer. A number of substantially single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires are positioned on the electrically insulating layer.

    摘要: An apparatus and related methods for facilitating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is described. A SERS-active structure near which a plurality of analyte molecules is disposed is periodically deformed at an actuation frequency. A synchronous measuring device synchronized with the actuation frequency receives Raman radiation scattered from the analyte molecules and generates therefrom at least one Raman signal measurement.

    摘要: A contact lithography apparatus and a method use one or both of spacers and a mesa to facilitate pattern transfer. The apparatus and the method include one or both of a spacer that provides a spaced apart orientation of lithographic elements, such as a patterning tool and a substrate, when in mutual contact with the spacer and a mesa between the patterning tool and the substrate. The mesa supports a contact surface of one or both of the mold and the substrate. One or both of the spacers and the mesa may be non-uniform. One or more of the patterning tool, the substrate and the spacer is deformable, such that deformation thereof facilitates the pattern transfer.
