Scientists in the Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford developed a process for direct photo-patterning of electronic polymers that improves device density of elastic circuits over 100x.
Use of diamond in high power and high temperature electronics is ideal due to its inherent properties, notably an ultra-high critical electric field of 10 MW/cm. Electronic devices require p-n junctions to achieve these electric fields, and thus n-doped diamond is required.
Researchers in Stanford's Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory have developed a simple, high throughput method to fabricate ultra-thin, defect-free, single crystal silicon sheets at a competitive cost.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Researchers in Profs. Jonathan Fan and Jim Plummer's laboratory have patented a generalized, CMOS-compatible process to fabricate single crystal metal components on amorphous insulator substrates.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel method of doping nanowires (NW) and thin films (TF) that greatly improves surface area and performance. The sol-flame method is a fast, simple and low cost way to introduce dopants into NW and TF for a wide variety of applications.
Stanford researchers have patented a crystalline germanium nanostructure device and method of forming a continuous polycrystalline Ge film (5-500nm thick poly-Ge) with crystalline Ge islands of preferred orientation.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Stanford researchers have developed a stretchable, low power consumption, highly tunable resistive pressure sensor and organic electrochromic device (ECD). This electronic skin detects and distinguishes varying pressure through real-time visible color change.
Stanford researchers have developed an ultra-sensitive resistive pressure sensor based on an elastic, microstructured conducting polymer (EMCP) thin film.
Stanford researchers have developed a wearable, flexible, high sensitivity pressure sensor that provides information about cardiovascular health, emotional state, and other aspects of human physiology.
