Abstract

The direct assembly of objects ranging in size from 100 nm to 10 μm onto electrode arrays fabricated on Si substrates is presented. By configuring electrodes on a host substrate and applying the appropriate potentials, it is possible to move and orient devices over a size ranging from 10-100 nm up to 10-20 μm. This ability to maneuver such a wide range of structures and sizes presents the opportunity to achieve new functionality in a format compatible with standard microelectronics technology.
