Fabricación de electrodos para control de transporte y alineamiento a micro y nanoescalas usando técnicas bottom-up y top-down.

The continued application progress in auto-assembly devices, positioning, sensors, actuators, and controllably allow manipulation of micro and nanostructures. Those have generated wide interest in the development of methodologies to optimize the control manufacturing devices and handling micro and nanoscales. This project explores electrode-manufacturing techniques in order tofind an optimal and reproducible technique. Performances of each technique are compared and cleaning and security protocols are described. Three geometries to mobilize and position micro and nano iron particles in a solution of natural oil were designed and implemented. Finally, electric fields are generated from electrophoresis tofind the curve that describes the particles movement relative to applied potential. These results generate great impact on current manufacturing efforts bottom-up (controlling with golf location) and mobility in electronic devices. Finally, they were made that planar geometry electrodes, it generates the possibility of particles movement are included to integrated circuits manufacturing today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
