(1) Hello NTC Community,
Munich was great! Beautiful weather, wonderful people, and an exciting city with a rich heritage. The IEEE NANO 2004 conference was excellent ‹ world-class talks, and about 300 attendees. The plenary and invited talks were exciting. Nobel Laureate Klaus von Klitzing, Max-Planck Institut, provided a perspective and vision for nanoelectronics, Robert Chou, Intel, proposed methods for benchmarking technologies that might compete with CMOS, Christoph Kutter, Infinion, provided a perspective on manufacturing issues and applications for nanotechnology, and Angela Belcher, MIT, shared her work on a virus-based genetic toolkit for the synthesis of inorganic nanowires. Every one of these plenary talks was fascinating, and helped to make the conference a world-class event. Next year the IEEE NANO 2005 conference will be held in Nagoya, Japan. Fumihito Arai will serve as the Conference Chair. This next event promises to be even better than 2004’s. The dates will be July 11-15, so don’t forget to put it into your Palm Pilots. It’s not too soon to start planning.

(13) Intelligent Micro Patterning Provides SF-100 for Arizona State University's Center for BioOptical Nanotechnology in The Biodesign Institute, St. Petersburg, Florida, September 1, 2004: Intelligent Micro Patterning, LLC, St. Petersburg, Florida, announced the sale of an SF-100 maskless photolithography system to Arizona State University's Center for BioOptical Nanotechnology in the Biodesign Institute. The SF-100 is a unique, maskless photolithography system that utilizes patented Smart Filter technology, licensed by Intelligent Micro Patterning, LLC from the University of South Florida. Smart Filter technology incorporates proprietary, cutting- edge, micro-optical techniques to rapidly project master images directly onto diverse substrate materials, such as quartz, ceramics, and plastics, without the use of photomasks. The main application for this system is the fabrication of DNA, proteins and other heteropolymers for the construction of combinatorial libraries to be used in molecular evolution procedures.
Dr. Jay Sasserath, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The use of the SF-100 for this exciting and leading edge technology opens many new opportunities for Intelligent Micro Patterning. Smart Filter technology offers the flexibility and ability to change patterns instantaneously and in real time, which are critical for this application. Additionally, the simplicity of the SF-100 allows researchers at the Biodesign Institute to quickly learn how to integrate the SF-100 into their R&D activities."
Dr. Neal Woodbury, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Center for BioOptical Nanotechnology in The Biodesign Institute, Arizona State University, added, "We have found a great partner with Intelligent Micro Patterning for our research. Having Smart Filter technology available for our research will greatly accelerate our R&D programs. Additionally, Intelligent Micro Patterning was very willing to work with us and make changes to their existing system to make it the perfect match for our research needs. Lastly, their technical depth and experience will be a good resource for us now and in the future. Overall, we expect that this partnership will be very beneficial to both parties over the long term."
