Organisation type:

Academic

Storage activities:

Nano technology, nano-scale electronics, thin film patterning/deposition and semiconductor device modelling

Profile:

The Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Electronics was established at Durham University in 1987. The Centre consolidates and promotes relevant activities across a number of academic departments within the University, in particular Chemistry, Physics and the School of Engineering. Much current activity is focused on the nanoscale where dimensions and tolerances in the range 0.1 nm to 100 nm play a critical role.

Facilities in the Centre include:

  • organic synthesis
  • structural characterisation of materials (X-ray and electron diffraction, IR spectroscopy, AFM/STM)
  • electrical and optical measurements
  • non-linear optical measurements
  • thin film deposition (spinning, thermal evaporation, electrochemical deposition, Langmuir-Blodgett technique, self-assembly)
  • thin film patterning technology (photolithography, chemical etching, plasma processing)
  • semiconductor device processing (full clean room facilities)
  • semiconductor and semiconductor device modelling
  • sensor measurements (gas, vapour and liquid)
  • software development
