Nanotechnology Fabrication of Nanogaps Metal Films

詳細技術說明

Nanofabrication TechniqueMetal nanogaps with increased precision and reliability of sub-nanoscale structures can be achieved by using standard procedures for nanofabrication of metal films while adding a unique final step of atomic layer deposition and adhesive-tape based planarization. Using this fabrication technique allows for a final product that has vertically oriented metal-insulator-metal structures through which electromagnetic waves can pass for background-free transmission measurements. This technology can be used to produce low cost and high quality filters and polarizers for laboratory instrumentation.MN-IP Try and BuyTryTrial period is up to 12 monthsTrial fee is $10,000 for twelve monthsTrial fee is wavied for MN companies or if sponsoring $50,000+ research with the UniversityNo US patent expenses during trial periodBuy$50,000 conversion fee (TRY to BUY)Royalty rate of 3% (2% for MN company)Royalty free for first $1M in sales** View the Term Sheet **** Contact Kevin Nickels for specific details. **Nanotechnology and Fabrication LimitationsThe field of nanotechnology and the exact fabrication of products at the nano level is a hot area of study because of the varied applications such designs provide. By squeezing light through nanogaps in metal films, nonlocal electromagnetic effects and electron tunneling is induced while simultaneously creating extreme field enhancements. However, limitations arise in the fabrication of such research tools because there is no reliable technology able to form nanogaps in structures with high reliability and atomic scale resolution. In order for this nanogap technology to become widely used, a technique for fabrication of nanogaps in metals with higher precision is necessary.BENEFITS AND FEATURES OF FABRICATION OF NANOGAPS IN MATERIALS:Higher precision and reliability of product than current techniquesProduces low cost, high quality filters and polarizersUnique atomic layer deposition and adhesive-tape based planarization stepPhase of Development Process has been demonstrated and nanogaps were characterized
