Semiconductor nanomaterials
The synthesis of new nanoscale materials with unique physical properties can enable revolutionary advances in science and technology. The Lee group are leaders in the design, synthesis, characterization, and hierarchical assembly of nanoscale materials. In addition, the Lieber group are leaders in characterizing fundamental structural and physical properties of these materials, and also fabricating and characterizing novel device structures and arrays of devices that are used in studies at the interface with biology and medicine. Research areas being pursued include the following:
-
Nanomaterials synthesis. We are pursuing studies of the growth and characterization of nanomaterials with an emphasis on the design and synthesis of nanowires with novel morphologies and complex modulation of dopant and/or composition in order to realize building blocks with novel electronic/photonic properties and/or morphologies that enable new opportunities in the life sciences.
-
Nanomaterials properties. Illuminating fundamental structural and physical properties of newly synthesized nanomaterials is central to both further synthetic advances and ‘applications’ of the nanostructures in other areas. In this regard, the Lieber group carries out state-of-the-art electron microscopy work to characterize atomic-level and up structure and composition, as well as measurements at the single nanostructure level to reveal electrical and optical properties.
-
Assembly of nanostructures. Controlled assembly of nanoscale wires and other nanomaterials is central to realizing our bottom-up paradigm of nanodevice arrays through functional systems, and as such we have maintained strong effort in developing both sophisticated and practical methods for hierarchical organization of nanomaterials. These studies are often motivated by and demonstrated with the development of novel tools and technologies that can open up opportunities at the interface with other areas of science.

Carbon nanomaterials
With the growth of nanoelectronics, the importance of thermal management in device packaging and the improvement of high-current-carrying interconnects/wires for avoiding the premature failure of devices have been emphasized. The heat and electrical transport properties of the bulk may not be valid in the characterization of a material at the nanometer level, because the phenomena that occur at the interfaces and grain boundaries become dominant. The failure mechanism of bulk metal interconnects has been understood in the context of electromigration;
however, in nanoscale materials, the effect of the heat dissipation that occurs at the nanointerfaces may play an important role.
In addition, Graphene was utilized for fabrication process, for example, a superficial layer in electroforming, off ering the required electrical conductivity and exhibiting the proper surface adhesion. This study eff ectively connects the electroforming process – aided by graphene – to the concept of fl exible electronic/optoelectronic devices and provides an approach for the practical implementation of a conducting line or frame in electronics packaging.
