Nanoparticle Based Transistors

Sharon Hilchie, advisors: Steve Campbell, Uwe Kortshagen

The goal of this project is to build transistors from Si nanoparticles. Crystalline nanoparticles are synthesized in a low-pressure plasma and posttreated in the gas phase. Since this process relies on remote synthesis of particles, it may enable us to build electronic devices and circuits on arbitrary substrates such as glass or plastics.
