What we (MEL) have done in meso-scale area
What is nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is important
Principal message
Why is it important to industry and NIST?
–
Examples of industry/NIST work at all scales
Challenges for NIST
Long term needs at the nano-scale
Short term needs at the meso/micro-scales
Priorities
Ideas
Discussion topics
Background
•
During past 9 months, MEL has explored measurements and
standards needs of meso and micro-scale manufacturing
•
Visited 20 companies
•
Conducted and participated in three workshops jointly sponsored
with DARPA and NSF
•
Organized informal NIST-wide co-ordinating group for
meso/micro/nano scale activities
•
All feedback from these efforts points toward an exploding
growth of nanotechnology
•
We see a continuum of needs for NIST efforts from the
macro-scale to the nano-scale
What is Nanotechnology?
•
Technology on the scale of atoms -100 pm- up
to biomolecular systems as large as cells -
10’s
µm
•
“Top-down” - achieving increased
miniaturization through extension of existing
microfabrication schemes
•
“Bottom-up” - capability to construct functional
components, devices, and systems from
building blocks of atoms and molecules
Nanotechnology Strategies
