A Si wafer and polysilicon deposited on a Si wafer were planarized using catalyst-referred etching (CARE). Two apparatuses were produced for local etching and for planarization. The local etching apparatus was used to planarize polysilicon and the planarization apparatus was used to planarize Si wafers. Platinum and h…

We present theoretical study on the electronic structures of the interfaces between Si substrate and SiO2 under zero bias and when a bias of −1.0 V is applied to the substrate by the first-principle calculation based on real-space finite-difference approach. By comparing the density of states at the interfaces, we stu…

The dinucleic octaethylporphyrin (OEP) derivatives described as OEP-(p-Phen)n-OEP (n=1–4) were synthesized, in each of which the porphyrin ring is spaced with p-phenylene group. Their electronic properties were studied, as compared with those of the corresponding dihexylbithiophene (DHBTh) derivatives with head-to-hea…

AbstractMicrotubules are filamentous proteins that act as a substrate for the translocation of motor proteins. As such, they may be envisioned as a scaffold for the self-assembly of functional materials and devices. Physisorption, self-assembly and combing are here investigated as a potential prelude to microtubule-te…
