Wafer-Level Micro/Nanosystems Integration and Packaging

Micro/nanosystems have attracted considerable interests and seen significant advances over the years. The huge gap between technology development and commercialization can be largely attributed to the challenges faced in the integration and packaging of the devices. The packaging has to work around the diverse functional requirements while ensuring that the device is able to perform effectively...

Femtosecond energy concentration in nanosystems: coherent control

We describe the unique possibility of concentrating the energy of an ultrafast excitation of a nanosystem in a small part of the whole system by means of coherent control (phase modulation of the exciting ultrashort pulse). Such concentration is due to dynamic properties of surface plasmons and leads to local fields enhanced by orders of magnitude. This effect exists for both ‘‘engineered’’ and...

Nanotechnology-enabled energy harvesting for self-powered micro-/nanosystems.

Health, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring as well as networking and defense technologies are only some of the potential areas of application of micro-/nanosystems (MNSs). It is highly desirable that these MNSs operate without an external electricity source and instead draw the energy they require from the environment in which they are used. This Review covers various approaches for e...

Micro- and Nanosystems Meet Biology: Artificial Life on a Chip

We highlight recent reviews and reports on the use of micro and nanosystems to solve biological problems. The matching length scale allows microand nanotechnology to create tools for engineering biological systems at molecular and cellular levels. Simple microdevices such as reactors, microchannels and concentration generators with features on the order of micrometers make the implementation of...
