Shaping nanomembrane technologies

2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology, 2010
Shaped nanomembranes offer huge potential for integration of novel devices and device concepts on a single chip. We show that strained nanomembranes can form into long-range-ordered wrinkled patterns on rigid and soft substrates, which is exploited to create nanofluidic channel systems and stretchable/flexible magnetoelectronic devices.
