Session: Emerging Materials & Fabrication Technologies toward Scalable & Additive Nanomanufacturing I
Presenter: Stephen Y. Chou, Princeton University
Correspondent: Click to Email
This talk will present (1) the technology advances and applications of nanoimprinting, a revolutionary nanofabrication method that not only allows the fabrication of nanostructures that could not be fabricated before, but also offers a viable way to mass manufacturing of nanostructures and hence commercialization; and (2) new nanoplasmonic structures for high efficiency solar cells and LEDs and ultrasensitive biosensing that have unprecedented properties and performances.

In nanoimprint, the presentation will address the advances in (a) planar as well as roll-to-roll nanoimprinting, (b) methods of making large nanostructure nanoimprint molds without using direct-write (e.g. electron-beam lithography), (c) self-perfection technologies, and applications in electronics, optics, optoelectronics, magnetics, biotechnologies, displays, and energy harvesting.

In nanoplasmonics, the presentation will discuss the advances in design large-area, high performance nanoplasmonics used for solar cell, LEDs and biosensing, in particular, two new nanoplasmonic structures: disk-coupled dots-on-pillar antenna-array (D2PA) and plasmonic cavity with subwavelength hole-arrays (PlaCSH). Significant enhances in energy efficiency and detection sensitivity have been achieved using D2PA and PlaCSH.
