High Precision Electrical Characterization of Bioinspired Nanowire Devices
Abstract
Due to the limitations of traditional lithographic semiconductor manufacturing techniques, there is a crucial need for the scalable nanomanufacturing of futuristic nanoscale electronics. We propose to address typical nanofabrication roadblocks by utilizing DNA-inspired nanowire devices for high throughput, high purity, and precise self-assembly. Our unique and economically viable approach will establish a new paradigm for the fabrication of nanoscale electronic circuits. The project necessitates the extensive electrical characterization of a large variety of nanowires. Such work can be readily enabled with state-of-the-art electronic test equipment, so we are requesting funds to acquire these instruments. We fully expect that this equipment will directly accelerate completion of DoD-funded research projects, facilitate the research-related education of dozens of students, and contribute to the overall research infrastructure at UT Dallas.
