Record 1 2012-07-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The design and manufacture of devices with dimensions measured in nanometers.

OBS

Two very different paths are pursued. One is a top-down strategy of miniaturizing current technologies, while the other is a bottom-up strategy of building ever-more-complex molecular devices atom by atom. Top-down approaches are good for producing structures with long-range order and for making macroscopic connections, while bottom-up approaches are best suited for assembly and establishing short-range order at nanoscale dimensions. The integration of top-down and bottom-up techniques is expected to eventually provide the best combination of tools for nanofabrication. Nanotechnology requires new tools for fabrication and measurement.

Key term(s)
  • nano-fabrication
  • nano fabrication

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Fabrication de structures à nanoéchelle (entre 1 et 100 nanomètres).

CONT

Le Groupe de la nanofabrication fabrique des dispositifs électroniques et optoélectroniques à partir de structures épitaxiales semiconductrices produites à l'Institut des sciences des microstructures (ISM).

OBS

Les nanostructures sont fabriquées selon une approche descendante ou une approche ascendante. L'approche descendante consiste à utiliser des technologies existantes pour fabriquer des structures nanométriques alors que l'approche ascendante consiste à fabriquer des dispositifs moléculaires, atome par atome.

Key term(s)
  • nano-fabrication
  • nano fabrication

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Record 2 2000-09-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging in Metal
  • Food Preservation and Canning
  • Boilermaking
DEF

In can fabrication, the line on which metal sheets are cut in order to preserve the surplus for recycling.

OBS

All processes convert flat sheet into finished cans, supplied with a loose end for the packer, according to this basic scheme : prepare plate; make body; form features; and apply finishes. The order may vary, depending on the process used .... If the starting point is a circular blank ... the edges of the sheet are scrolled for economy in material usage ....

OBS

Primary scrolling used when cutting coil into sheets for coating .... Secondary scrolling used for cutting sheets into strips for feeding into the shell press.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Emballages en métal
  • Conservation des aliments et conserverie
  • Chaudronnerie
DEF

Dans une usine de fabrication de boîtes métalliques, section où les feuilles métalliques sont rognées en vue d'en recycler l'excédent de métal.

OBS

[...] il est indispensable de procéder à ce stade, au détourage de l'excédent de métal à la partie supérieure de la boîte [...]
