- Growth of high-quality vertical aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) structures on silicon supported gold (Au) films by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) is presented. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that the growth is highly selective. Statistical study reveals that 79.4% of the as-grown CNTs are double-walled. The CNTs synthesized on Au films are more porous than that synthesized on silicon substrates under the same conditions. Raman spectroscopy and electrical characterization performed on the as-grown double-walled CNTs (DWNTs) indicate that they are competitive with those CNTs grown on silicon substrates. Field emission tests show that closed-ended DWNTs have lower threshold field than those open-ended.

- Stem cell growth and migration on nanofibrous scaffolds and micro-fluidic channels on Silicon-Chip were studied by using neural stem cells isolated from adult rats' brain. Electrospinning and lithographic technique were used for developing nanofibrous-polylactic acid (PLA) and polyurethane (PU) based-scaffolds and micro-fluidic channels on Si-Chips respectively. Immunocytochemical and morphological analysis showed better cell-matrix interaction with profound adhesion, proliferation and migration on the developed scaffolds. Cell culture assay with microfluidic channel revealed the ability of developed channel system in guiding neuronal stem cell growth towards specified directions. These studies extend the possibility of using developed nanofibrous scaffolds and micro-fluidic channel system for future electrical signal transmission based on living neural stem cells.

- Since 1991, carbon nanotubes have been considered for successful applications in various fields due to their unique properties. In the present work, carbon nanotubes are applied in integrated circuit packaging, as the bump interconnection for flip chip. The reason for choosing carbon nanotubes as the bump material is their special electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which may promote both the performance and reliability of the flip chip packaging. Moreover, carbon nanotubes can be formed according to a precisely predefined small-scale pattern, which makes extremely high density interconnection possible. Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes are grown on silicon in the form of square arrays of different sizes, heights and pitches. Attempts to use thermal compression and anisotropic conductive adhesive to bond chips carrying carbon nanotube bumps with ceramic substrates are also executed. Mechanical testing is performed afterward to determine the strength of the bonding interfaces. The strength of the bonding by thermal compression is very weak, in the range from 1.9 to 7.0 g/mm2. The bonding by anisotropic conductive adhesive is much stronger, indicating a possible approach to bond chips carrying carbon nanotube bumps.

Low temperature transfer and formation of carbon nanotube arrays by imprinted conductive adhesive

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This letter demonstrates the transfer and formation of aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays at low temperature by imprinted conductive adhesive. A thermoplastic isotropic conductive adhesive is patterned by an imprint and heat transfer process. The CNTs grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition are then transferred to another substrate by the conductive adhesive, forming predefined patterns. The current-voltage response of the transferred CNT bundles verifies that good electrical connection has been established. This process can enable the integration of CNTs into various temperature-sensitive processeses and materials.

Through silicon vias filled with planarized carbon nanotube bundles
- 2009

Ingår i: Nanotechnology. - : IOP Publishing. - 0957-4484 .- 1361-6528. ; 20:48

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The feasibility of using carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles as the fillers of through silicon vias (TSVs) has been demonstrated. CNT bundles are synthesized directly inside TSVs by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD). The growth of CNTs in vias is found to be highly dependent on the geometric dimensions and arrangement patterns of the vias at atmospheric pressure. The CNT-Si structure is planarized by a combined lapping and polishing process to achieve both a high removal rate and a fine surface finish. Electrical tests of the CNT TSVs have been performed and their electrical resistance was found to be in the few hundred ohms range. The reasons for the high electrical resistance have been discussed and possible methods to decrease the electrical resistance have been proposed.

- In this letter, a method of generating spatially defined electrospun microarchitectures by direct photolithographic patterning of electrospun Films is described, A photoinitiator, benzoin methyl ether, is incorporated into a solid thermoplastic electrospun polyurethane matrix selectively photo-cross-linked by standard photolithographic methods. Subsequent development in in organic solvent yields spatially defined electrospun microstructures oil a single substrate. Utilizing a multilayer approach, the method allows for the assembly of complex hierarchical electrospun structures on single substrates using methods analogous to the conventional microfabrication of solid-state devices.

- Miniaturized thermoelectric coolers is one of the most promising active heat dissipating methods in hot spot cooling, laser cooling and other applications. Improving mechanical strength can potentially boost the reliability of this technology. In this paper, simulations and mechanical compression experiments were carried out on miniaturized thermoelectric coolers both with and without underfiller. The results of the simulations and experiments indicate that the underfill process technology is highly effective means to improve the mechanical strength of miniaturized thermoelectric coolers.
