Monolithic integration of high-frequency magnetic components such as hexaferrite circulators at the wafer scale can lead to a significant improvement in radio frequency (RF) circuit performance and functionality. However, current methods monolithically integrate films, liquid phase epitaxy, require high temperature (> 900 °C) annealing create crystalline alignment, which is not compatible with ...

Abstract Background: Application of patterns to enable high-resolution Digital Image Correlation (DIC) at the small scale ( ? m / nm ) is known be very challenging as techniques developed for macro- and mesoscale, such spray painting, cannot scaled down directly. Moreover, existing nano-patterning all rely on harsh processing steps, based high temperature, chemicals, physical contact, liquids, ...

Nano and femtosecond laser writing are becoming very popular techniques for patterning carbon-based materials, as they are single-step processes enabling the drawing of complex shapes without photoresist. However, pulsed laser writing requires costly laser sources and is known to cause damages to the surrounding material. By comparison, continuous-wave lasers are cheap, stable and provide energ...

Micro-patterning tools adopted from the semiconductor industry have mostly been optimized to pattern features onto rigid silicon and glass substrates, however, recently the need to pattern on soft substrates has been identified in simulating cellular environments or developing flexible biosensors. We present a simple method of introducing a variety of patterned materials and structures into ult...
