Assembly Manufacturing at the Micro and Nano ScalesAssembly Manufacturing at the Micro and Nano ScalesZyvex is a Nanotechnology company that is working towards atomically precise nanomanufacturing.

While working toward that goal we are developing materials, tools, and structures that have current

commercial relevance to research and industrial applications. This talk will introduce Zyvex and will

touch on our carbon nanotube materials, and nanomanipulation businesses. The majority of the

presentation will be a discussion of microsystem assembly technology. The past several decades have

brought a general trend of miniaturization with huge economic benefits and great convenience.

Most of this progress has been in the semiconductor industry. However, the progress in assembly

manufacturing is far less impressive. Described in this talk is an approach to parallel assembly of

microsystems that uses Si micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) as an integral part of the

assembly technology that has been developed to date and the rapid progress that is being made

toward the assembly of micro-systems of commercial value. Finally, our efforts in the area of

atomically precise nanomanufacturing (including a collaboration with Joe Lyding of UIUC) will be

presented.
