Parallel Nano-Assembly Directed by Short-Range Field Forces

We present the ECs Sixth Framework Programme PARNASS project, which stands for ´Parallel nano assembling directed by short-range field forces´ and represents a radical innovative approach to fabricating large volumes of hybrid nano electronic devices. The project combines in a synergy the ´top-down´ and ´bottom-up´ methods addressing one of the challenging physical and engineering problems of the very high accuracy over a large area. An array of specially designed nano-scale force field sources has to be a key part of this innovative approach to large-scale nano manufacturing.
