Typical Applications
Examples of nanoelectronic devices and test structures fabricated at FlexiFab

  • Integration of new materials, device and subsystem concepts
  • Nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanobiotechnology
  • Devices, sensors and NEMS
  • e-beam for nanowire patterning – sub 10nm dimensions
  • Technologies for 2D contacting to nano-scale structures
  • e-beam contacting on flakes: Graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers (e.g. MoS2)
