Rachel Philiph Awarded Prestigous Goldwater Scholarship
Congratulations to Rachel Philiph for being recognized as a 2014 Goldwater Scholar. Rachel is a student in Materials Science from Iowa State University. She was an integral member of QNN, working in block copolymer blends, as part of the MIT Materials Processing Center Summer Scholars 2013. The Goldwater Scholarship, one of America’s top awards for undergraduate STEM researchers, is fitting for Rachel.
DSA of BCP highlighted in EE Times
Recent work published by our group was featured in EE Times. The highlighted paper uses directed self-assembly (DSA) of <20nm block copolymer. The EE Times article discusses this work’s potential to push forward Moore’s Law, allowing for the further increase in transistor density.
Faraz Najafi Highlighted by RLE
Every month, the Research Laboratory for Electronics (RLE) at MIT highlights one research student. This month, QNN’s Faraz Najafi was highlighted. His work pursues nanofabrication, characterization, and device performance of Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs). He has collaborated with many researchers within and outside of the institute, and has shared the findings in many conferences and journals.
Videos online, including STEM Lithography work
Our page with a number of interesting videos is up and available to check out. We plan to continuously add to this page with more and more videos. Please provide feed back on YouTube!
Vitor made a great video describing his work on STEM lithography. See the YouTube video here!

Nanowerk Highlights EBL with STEM for single-nm features
Nanotechweb has released a Journal Highlight of some of our recently published work. The research involves using electron beam lithography to precisely place quantum dots on a sample surface. The work explores size and height of different templating holes in a PMMA resist to incorporate single or many quantum dots in each hole. The results were reported and discussed in Nanotechnology
