NASCENT
NASCENT’s MissionNASCENT’s mission is to
• Create R2R and wafer-scale nanomanufacturing systems for nanopatterning with unprecedented pattern size, shape control and overlay precision.
• Develop R2R systems for ordered synthesis and transfer of 0D,1D and 2D functional nanomaterials, and WS systems for precision exfoliation of flex-crystalline materials.
• Direct the design, optimization, and control of processes with multi-scale simulations
• Establish associated large area nano-scale metrology for yield enhancement
