SELF ASSEMBLED NANO DOTS (SAND) AND NON-SELF ASSEMBLED NANO-DOTS (NSAND) STRUCTURES TO CREATE SPACERS FOR ENERGY TRANSFER.

摘要

A structure and method for transferring electronic charge or heat or light between substrates. The structure includes first and second substrates separated from one another and a plurality of localized spacers connecting the first and second substrates together. At leas one of the localized spacers having a lateral dimension less than 350 nm A sub-micron separation distance between the first and second substrates is configured to provide earner tunneling or heat transfer or light transfer between the first and second substrates. The method provides charge carriers or heat or light to a first substrate which is separated from a second substrate by at least one localized spacer as described and which tunnels the charge carriers or couples the heat or couples light from the first substrate to the second substrate across a sub-micron gap between the first and second substrates formed by the at least one localized spacer.
