Flexible gold thin film structures on polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) were successfully realised. This process is conducive to large area fabrication of flexible electrode structures, for incorporation with microfluidics, and for conformal adhesion to non-planar surfaces.","PeriodicalId":129653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116570047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such selectivity towards negative ions can be employed in cell-based biosensor applications via detection of negative ion transport through the cell membrane/ion channels. Compatibility of living cells and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures for this application has therefore been investigated qualitatively and quantitatively by flow cytometry. Although the mortality rate increases marginally with Al composition, this effect is not strong. This provides much-needed flexibility in designing biosensors by enabling Al mole fraction to be selected on the basis of optimum heterostructure properties. The results of these investigations are very promising for cell-based biosensor development.","PeriodicalId":129653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122342474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other phases of silicon can be formed under pressure applied by indentation and these phases are metastable at room-temperature and pressure. As we demonstrate, such phases behave entirely differently to normal diamond-cubic silicon (Si-I) having different electrical properties. Two such phases, Si-III (BC8) and Si-XII (R8), can be formed by indentation but little is known about their electrical properties. Theoretical studies predict Si-III to be a semimetal [1] and Si-XII to be a narrow band gap semiconductor [2]. We report the first electrical measurements on these phases, which we have formed by nanoindentation. We demonstrate that Si-XII is a semiconductor that can be electrically doped with boron and phosphorus at room temperature. We also demonstrate early devices formed by nanoindentation at room temperature.","PeriodicalId":129653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125121785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
