Abstract:
1. A method for the self-assembly of microscale or nanoscale devices comprising the steps of: providing a host substrate, preparing the host substrate for attachment of DNA polymers, patterning the host substrate to thereby create stop points or recesses into which said DNA polymers can be electronically positioned, attaching DNA polymers to the patterned host substrate, providing a delivery head for placing a component device into a fluid medium containing the host substrate, said delivery head comprising an electrode necessary to set an appropriate electric field geometry to thereby enable transporting said component device, fabricating said component device, subjecting the component device to an epitaxial lift off process, attaching DNA polymers to the component device, wherein at least a portion of the sequence of the DNA polymers is complementary to the DNA polymers attached to the patterned host substrate, transporting said component device via application of an electronic force into said delivery head and subsequently to said host substrate, hybridizing the component device to the host substrate, and bonding the device to the host substrate.
