    摘要: In the present invention, there are provided self-assembled ZnO nanotips grown on relatively low temperatures on various substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The ZnO nanotips are made at relatively low temperatures, giving ZnO a unique advantage over other wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN and SiC. The nanotips have controlled uniform size, distribution and orientation. These ZnO nanotips are of single crystal quality, show n-type conductivity and have good optical properties. Selective growth of ZnO nanotips also has been realized on patterned (100) silicon on r-sapphire (SOS), and amorphous SiO2 on r-sapphire substrates. Self-assembled ZnO nanotips can also be selectively grown on patterned layers or islands made of a semiconductor, an insulator or a metal deposited on R-plane (01 12) Al2O3 substrates as long as the ZnO grows in a columnar structure along the c-axis [0001] of ZnO on these materials. Such self-assembled ZnO nanotips and nanotip arrays are promising for applications in field emission displays and electron emission sources, photonic bandgap devices, near-field microscopy, UV optoelectronics, and bio-chemical sensors.

    摘要: An Interdigital Bulk Acoustic-Wave Transducer (IBAT) device is provided with pairs of exciting electrode fingers disposed sufficiently close together on the piezoelectric substrate and dielectric coating over the exciting electrode fingers to generate an IC-compatible voltage at relatively high electric field strength, resulting in a reduced region of excitation and uniform electric field strength distribution. The IBAT advantageously produces a lateral electric field substantially uniform over a substantial portion of the active BAW structure area, reducing, or virtually eliminating sharp voltage spikes, an electrical field produced by the low voltages resident on integrated circuit (IC) chips, usually of a magnitude of 10 volts, or lower, the planar electrode structure being compatible with IC processing techniques, such as photolithography and the BAWs produced thereby being essentially plane waves, with propagation away from, but with phase progression substantially parallel to, the substrate surface. Numerous IBAT structural arrangements are possible by advantageously over-coating the IBAT electrode finger stripes with an insulating dielectric in different configurations, and any possible configuration achieved through over-coating is considered to be within the contemplation of the devices and methods of the present invention. Interdigital bulk acoustic wave transducers and methods for exciting bulk acoustic waves with interdigital electrode fingers are also provided.

    摘要: A high contrast ultrahigh speed optically-addressed ultraviolet light modulator exploits the optical anisotropy in a ZnO film epitaxially grown on (01 {overscore (1)}2) sapphire. This device, which could also be realized in a ZnO bulk crystal or similar wide bandgap material, achieves both high contrast and high speed by exploiting the anisotropic bleaching of the anisotropic absorption and concomitant ultrafast polarization rotation near the lowest exciton resonances produced by femtosecond ultraviolet pulses. The resultant modulation in a preferred embodiment is characterized by a contrast ratio of 70:1, corresponding to a dynamic polarization rotation of 12°, and decays to a quasi-equilibrium value within 100 ps.

    摘要: The present invention provides the multifunctional biological and biochemical sensor technology based on ZnO nanostructures. The ZnO nanotips serve as strong DNA or protein molecule binding sites to enhance the immobilization. Patterned ZnO nanotips are used to provide conductivity-based biosensors. Patterned ZnO nanotips are also used as the gate for field-effect transistor (FET) type sensors. Patterned ZnO nanotips are integrated with SAW or BAW based biosensors. These ZnO nanotip based devices operate in multimodal operation combining electrical, acoustic and optical sensing mechanisms. The multifunctional biosensors can be arrayed and combined into one biochip, which will enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of biological and biochemical detection due to strong immobilization and multimodal operation capability. Such biological and biochemical sensor technology are useful in detection of RNA-DNA, DNA-DNA, protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-small molecules interaction. It can be further applied for drug discovery, and for environmental monitoring and protection.
