Analyzing Mixing Inhomogeneity in a Microfluidic Device by Microscale Schlieren Technique

¹Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University, ²Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology

Herein, we describe a procedure that employs microscale schlieren technique to measure mixing inhomogeneity in a microfluidic device. Through calibration, distribution of concentration gradient can be derived from the micro-schlieren image.

Ohmic Contact Fabrication Using a Focused-ion Beam Technique and Electrical Characterization for Layer Semiconductor Nanostructures

Ruei-San Chen¹, Chih-Che Tang², Wei-Chu Shen², Ying-Sheng Huang²

¹Graduate Institute of Applied Science and Technology, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, ²Department of Electronic Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology

We describe the approaches for the device fabrication and electrical characterization of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe₂) layer semiconductor nanostructures with different thicknesses. In addition, the fabrication of ohmic contacts for MoSe₂-layer nanocrystals by the focused-ion beam deposition method using platinum (Pt) as a contact metal is described.
