Self-Assembling 2D and 3D Nanostructures for Nano-Photonic and Nano-Electronic IC's and Devices
This invention will enable the creation of high-quality linear photonic transfer and electronic transfer structures for use in nano-photonic and nano-electronic IC's and devices.
Researchers at UC San Diego's bioengineering department have developed a bottom-up nano-fabrication process using E-fields and arrangements of nano-pore structures to control the self assembly of higher order structures from functionalized DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides, polypepetides, and other self-assembling molecules. Additionally, two and three dimensional structures and devices may be further realized from these first building blocks. The approach of this invention overcomes the traditional problem encountered with classical synthetic chemistry techniques by preventing the inter/intra molecular linking that inhibits formation of linear DNA structures. By preventing this linking, higher order structures may be realized from multiple functionalized self-assembling components.
