DESCRIPTION:Prof. Christopher Hierold\, Micro and Nanosystems\, Department
  of Mechanical and Process Engineering\, ETH Zürich\nCarbon nanotubes exh
 ibit a number of excellent mechanical and electronic properties as functio
 nal materials in sensors. In particular single walled carbon nanotubes (SW
 NT) are known for their band gap modulation due to mechanical strain\, or 
 electronic property-changes due to interaction with surrounding molecules\
 , but also for their ultra-low power consumption. We present results on in
 dividual SWNTs as functional material in field effect transistors\, mechan
 ical and chemical sensors. We discuss the influence of process variations 
 on the properties of SWNT devices\, and options for sensor fabrication.\nB
 io: Christofer Hierold has been a Professor of Micro and Nanosystems\, Dep
 artment of Mechanical and Process Engineering\, at ETH Zurich since April 
 2002.\nHis research is focused on the evaluation of new materials for MEMS
 \, on advanced microsystems\, and on nanotransducers. Christofer Hierold i
 s founding chairman of one of ETH Zurich’s inter-departmental competence
  centers\, the Micro and Nano Science Platform and he coordinates the mana
 gement team of ETH Zurich’s cleanroom facility\, the FIRST lab. In addit
 ion\, he is a member of the international steering committees of major con
 ferences in the field (MEMS\, TRANSDUCERS\, EUROSENSORS)\, he is a member 
 of the editorial boards of IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Sys
 tems and of IoP Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering\, and he is
  joint editor of the book series Advanced Micro and Nanosystems (Wiley-VCH
 ).
