An international research team, led by Umeå University's Alexandr Talyzin, has discovered a method to unzip carbon nanotubes with hydrogen, creating graphene nanoribbons and graphane. Nanoribbons produced by the new method will have hydrogen on the edges, which can be an advantage for some applications.
Peter Singer recently toured the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) at Clarkson University. The following video interviews with researchers and professors cover particle transport, chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP), cleanroom technologies, and bright nano particles, among other topics.
The research project "MANOS" combines innovative surface coatings based on nanoparticles and the latest adhesive procedures for new embedding technologies and novel circuit-board-based modular fasten and release technology used to stack sensor systems.
Three chairs of IITC-MAM, opening next week in Germany, share details on papers attendees won't want to miss. Among the hot-button technologies are through silicon via (TSV) integration, RC performance, carbon interconnects, and pushing traditional technologies farther (think lithography).
A team of researchers at MIT has found a way to manipulate both the thermal and electrical conductivity of materials by changing the external conditions. The technique can change electrical conductivity by factors of well over 100, and heat conductivity by more than threefold.
Imec researchers will present "Carbon nanotube interconnects: electrical characterization of 150nm CNT contacts with Cu damascene top contact" at IITC 2011. Dr. Marleen van der Veen, senior research scientist at imec discussed the research results and their significance.
