Affinity Based Self-Assembly Systems And Devices For Photonic And Electronic Applications

Detailed Technology Description

This invention relates to methodologies and techniques which utilize programmable functionalized self-assembling nucleic acids, nucleic acid modified structures, and other selective affinity or binding moieties as building blocks for: creating molecular electronic and photonic mechanisms; for the organization, assembly, and interconnection of nanostructures, submicron and micron sized components onto silicon or other materials; for the organization, assembly, and interconnection of nanostructures, submicron and micron sized components within perimeters of microelectronic or optoelectronic components and devices; for creating, arraying, and manufacturing photonic and electronic structures, devices, and systems; for the development of a high bit density three and four dimensional optical data storage materials and devices; and for development of low density optical memory for applications in authentication, anti-counterfeiting, and encryption of information in document or goods.

Title: Methods for the electronic assembly and fabrication of devices
Usefulness: Methods for the electronic assembly and fabrication of devices
Summary: USE The methods are used to produce electronic and/or photonic devices for communications, information processing, e.g. flat panel displays or medical diagnosis equipment, or data storage (either high density optical media or low density media for use in authenticating, anti-counterfeiting or encrypting information in documents or goods). Typical devices include smart pixels and display devices, selectively tunable devices, ultra-high density media and photonic band gaps (claimed). The method is based on the fact that nucleic acids inherently possess a code (base-pairing) and ability to self-assemble (hybridisation), and can be used for specific placement and alignment of nanostructures.
Novelty: Fabricating micro or nano scale devices, e.g. optical storage media by exploiting self-assembling, hybridising, properties of nucleic acid with components formed on surface then released and transported to second surface
