Invention
Improved performance of copper interconnects
Copper (Cu) is now the preferred material for interconnections in ICs because it conducts better and lasts longer than aluminum. However, there are well-known problems with copper interconnects. Copper tends to migrate out of the wiring, degrading…

Invention
Cyborg tissue: Macroporous nanowire nanoelectronic scaffolds for synthetic tissues
This technology uses macroporous, flexible and free-standing nanowire nanoelectronic scaffolds (nanoES), and their hybrids with synthetic or natural biomaterials. 3D macroporous nanoES mimic the structure of natural tissue scaffolds. The structures…

Invention
Control over deposition of nanoscale materials using structured surfaces
The ability to precisely localize and control deposition of materials at the nanoscale is extremely important for a wide variety of emerging technologies. Many unique physical properties emerge only at the nanoscale and it is very useful to be able…

Invention
Silicon-based photodiodes for enhanced infrared detection, quick response and low cost
The technology offered here is for the creation of an “impurity enhanced” silicon material with unique optelectric properties. The material is created by employing an ion-implantation technique using a nanosecond laser to melt the basis of single…

Invention
Improved metal complex chemical precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor depostion (CVD) using bicyclic guanidines
A new class of metal complex precursors has been identified for use in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using bicycle guanidines as ligands as opposed to acetamidines. The ALD process involves the alternating…
