 less Lithography\, Railed Microfluidics and Encoded Particles - Prof. Sung

DESCRIPTION:Two different fabrication routes can be adopted for building c
 omplex micro devices: top-down and bottom-up approaches. The top-down appr
 oach based on conventional photolithography brought us amazing CMOS manufa
 cturing triumph but it is now facing a fundamental limit in scaling and co
 st. Recently\, various bottom-up manufacturing technologies have received 
 attention and promise to overcome some of the limits of top-down manufactu
 ring.\n\nSelf-assembly is one promising way to lower manufacturing cost an
 d realise complex microsystems.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present the conce
 pt of smart scalable systems\, a new bottom-up view point of building comp
 lex systems. First\, optofluidic maskless lithography will be presented as
  a first step for smart particle generation. Second\, various fluidic self
 -assembly technology such as railed microfluidics will be presented as a s
 mart particle assembly method. Then I will end with a few application exam
 ples such as encoded particle based scalable biosensor or scalable display
 s.\n
