3D Programmable Micro Self Assembly

Abstract

This project has succeeded to: generate new techniques, improve understandings of the physical foundations, and create algorithms for self-assembling systems in 2D and 3D. We have developed a "self assembly tool box" consisting of a range of methods for micro-scale self-assembly in 2D and 3D We have shown physical demonstrations of simple 3D self-assemblies which lead to integration of heterogeneous 3D systems via self-assembly. We have developed models and algorithms for quantitative analysis and prediction of self-assembly behavior, in particular for optimization of yield and assembly time. We have disseminated our findings in numerous conference presentations, invited talks, workshops, and started to develop IP in form of invention disclosures and patents.
