[nanoPost] IC design

We have a lot of research that span from micro to nano and the Institute covers the spectrum from IC design right through to technology.  By definition this is nano as I guess the IC industry is perhaps the largest nano industry with patterns at 65nm and layer thicknesses a few atoms thick.

In addition we have a large activity in MEMS/microsystems and their integration with IC technology.  A key technology that we have available is the ability to integrate nanotechnology/materials with advanced foundry technology.

We have micro/nano projects in the following areas.

• Genomic nanoprocessors with GTI, Physics (COSMIC) and Chemistry (Holiday junctions as switches)
• Biology on Smart Silicon with Physics and Chemistry
• Smart X-ray technology
• SiC MEMS/electronics for harsh environments
• Drug delivery modules with wireless(industry)
• Sub-mm sensor for Astronomy applications
• Bioinspired self assembly for MEMS
• Organometallic films
• Liquid droplet movement on silicon
• Tuning RF MEMS
• Integrating MEMS/IC technology (industry)
• Biosensor platform
