Proposal No: 0508338Title: Electronic Devices from Viral and Cytoskeletal TemplatesInst: University of VirginiaPI: Michael ReedThis research will employ well characterized, self-organizing biological systems as templates to fabricate active nanoscale electronic devices, including integrated electrical interconnects between the nanoscale devices and contact pads. The project applies biological processes and molecular genetic techniques to a practical engineering problem: the fabrication of a molecular-scale electronic device, with precise dimensions and predictable and reproducible performance, in a way that can be scaled to billions or trillions of integrated devices, at a low cost. The geometrically increasing number and performance of transistors on integrated circuits, driven by scaling of devices to smaller dimensions, can only be continued with new technologies that sidestep fundamental limits imposed by current manufacturing techniques relying on photographic pattern transfer. The proposed new technology harnesses self-assembly techniques, evolved by nature, to fabricate electronic switches. Also, methods will be developed to use cytoskeletal templates to fabricate conducting microtubules, useful for contacting this and other molecular electronic devices. This work addresses a vexing problem in interfacing the world of molecular devices, at the nanometer scale, to the micron and millimeter scales necessary in practical systems. Demonstration of the techniques developed in this research will significantly advance our ability to leverage biological systems in the design and development of more complex, self-organizing electronic systems.

提案编号：0508338标题：来自病毒和细胞骨架模板的电子器件研究单位：弗吉尼亚大学api: Michael reed本研究将采用特征良好的自组织生物系统作为模板来制造有源纳米级电子器件，包括纳米级器件和接触垫之间的集成电气互连。该项目将生物过程和分子遗传技术应用于实际工程问题：制造具有精确尺寸和可预测和可重复性能的分子级电子设备，以一种低成本的方式扩展到数十亿或数万亿集成设备。集成电路上晶体管的数量和性能呈几何级数增长，这是由器件的尺寸缩小所驱动的，只有通过新技术才能继续下去，这些新技术可以避开当前依赖于照相模式转移的制造技术所施加的基本限制。提出的新技术利用自然发展的自组装技术来制造电子开关。此外，还将开发使用细胞骨架模板制造导电微管的方法，用于接触这种和其他分子电子器件。这项工作解决了一个令人烦恼的问题，即在纳米尺度上将分子器件连接到实际系统中必要的微米和毫米尺度。在这项研究中开发的技术的演示将大大提高我们利用生物系统设计和开发更复杂、自组织电子系统的能力。
