Nanotechnology
The Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory in the new CITRIS building is a state of the art clean room environment for the prototyping of next generation devices. Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies play a vital role in more sophisticated transistors, sensors, and new materials. Higher energy batteries, more efficient thermoelectric materials, and highly active catalytic materials are just some of our areas of application.

Intellectual Merit: The combination of two or more materials in the form of nanocomposite in making microstructures could open up a new class of materials for microsystem applications. The first motivation of this research is therefore to investigate metal-organic/inorganic nanocomposites by adding nanoparticles into microstructures in order to modify and strengthen the material properties and alleviate the mechanical deficiency such as fatigue and aging with the advantage of low temperature processing and feasibility for direct integration with microelectronics.
