The DC/NoVA Chapter of the IEEE-EDS is pleased to co-sponsor The Atlantic Nano Forum and announces the next event:

Innovative Technologies

by two renowned nano-technologists:

Dr. Cedric Loiret-Bernal

CEO, Nanoink, Inc.

And

Mr. Sam Antrazi

President, 4Wave, Inc.

Dr. Cedric Loiret-Bernal will discuss Dip Pen Nanolithography. And Mr. Sam Antrazi will discuss Atomic Layer Engineering through ion beam innovations.

NanoInk, Inc. is a Chicago-based company commercializing the Dip Pen
Nanolithography(tm) (DPN(tm)) method of nanoscale manufacturing. The DPN
process was first developed by Professor Chad Mirkin at the Northwestern
University Nanotechnology Institute. It is a patented process used to
build nanometer scale structures and patterns by literally drawing
materials directly onto a surface. DPN users can build at resolutions
ranging from many micrometers down to 15 nanometers, using virtually any
material. This combination of ultrahigh resolution and material
flexibility makes for numerous commercial applications.

4Wave has been selected as a SEMI showcase company for innovations in
thin film processing and is seeking its next round of funding. 4Wave
provides advanced thin film technologies used in the production of
nanometer-scale components in the computer and telecommunications
industries. 4Wave's unique technologies enable the fabrication of thin
film materials at the atomic scale, with unprecedented levels of
precision and functionality using robust, cost-effective equipment.
Atomically engineered thin-film devices are foundational to future
integrated circuit memory elements, integrated circuit transistors,
extreme ultraviolet lithography masks, disk-drive heads, and
telecommunications lasers.

This event will be moderated by Dr. Hrayr Sayadian, Esq., Chair IEEE-Electron Devices Society, Washington/Northern Virginia Chapter, and Principal of Sayadian Patent Law Office.

This event will take place on Thursday, July 29, 2004, 4:00-7:00 PM, at Burns, Doane, Swecker & Mathis, L.L.P. Suite 500, 1737 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. Attendance is free, and drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served; social hour is 4:00-5:00 PM.

Space is limited because the events of The Atlantic Nano Forum are popular.

Therefore, please RSVP by July 27, 2004 to nano@burnsdoane.com, and direct questions to Cynthia Johnson at (703) 838-6529 or cynthiaj@burnsdoane.com.
