The production of nanometer-size devices implies that
material can be manipulated at this scale in a controlled
manner. Future computers based on microelectronics include
single-electron transistors, molecular switches as well as
quantum arrays.
Nanometrix technology opens the possibility to fabricate in an industrial and
continuous way hexagonal close pack nanoscale patterning on different
substrates with different materials. (See drawing)
Fine metal particles in the nanometer size range find
numerous applications in different fields such as
catalysis, electronics, optics, as well as magnetic
data storage.
Several studies have shown that
thousand- and hundred-atom transition metal
clusters present electronic and magnetic properties
that differ markedly from those of bulk materials. At
the nanometer scale, many physical and chemical
properties depend on the size and shape of the solid
particles. Therefore their use as advanced materials
in high technology requires uniform particles with a
controlled mean size and a narrow size distribution.
Some of these particles have been used by
Nanometrix for different projects: TiO2, nano
diamonds, PMMA and SiO2 micro and sub-micron
beads, to name a few. Many others have to be
tested for further development and applications.
These particles can be used as the final functional arrangement or as a passive
template for further nanofabrication, architecture and patterning.
