Problems solved by technology

Conventional microscale fabrication processes, such as those used in the semiconductor industry, cannot produce macroscale structures from microscale components
For example, conventional semiconductor fabrication equipment and processes cannot produce micron-sized components with aspect ratios much greater than about 50:1 or about 100:1
Conventional additive manufacturing equipment and processes (commonly referred to as "3D printing") cannot produce micron- or nanoscale-sized objects, and cannot rapidly produce macroscale structures from micron-scale components

Abstract

A method of assembly of micro / nano-scale objects into lattice or truss structures.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(e), this application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 172,315, filed June 8, 2015, entitled "Method of Assembling Nanoscale and Microscale Objects," issued The contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. Background technique [0003] One goal of modern materials science involves the production of macro-scale structures from micron-scale elements of micron- or nanoscale dimensions. Such structures can be tailored to have new mechanical, electrical, and optical properties not achievable using conventional fabrication techniques. Conventional microscale fabrication processes, such as those used in the semiconductor industry, cannot produce macroscale structures from microscale components. For example, conventional semiconductor fabrication equipment and processes cannot produce micron-scale components with aspect ratios much gr...
