High-frequency Structures for Nanoelectronics and Molecular Electronics Characterizations

Market Overview:

The technology allows users to obtain electrical measurements of small devices and minute amounts of materials. These devices could include magnetoelectronic/spintronic devices and high-impedance devices, for instance a metallic single-walled carbon-nanotube (mSWNT), a SWNT transistor, a minimum-size deep-submicron metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) field-effect-transistor (FET), a sub-micron MOS FET that is operating in sub-threshold region, and a molecular device. Other materials of measurement interest may include on-chip biofluids, chemicals, and thin films.

Applications:

· Micro/Nano electronics characterization

· Biosensing applications

· Diagnostic devices

Benefits:

· Increased measurement precision capability

· Potential earlier detection

· Less material needed for measurement
