Topic: Calvin Quate


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  R&D Magazine names Calvin Quate its Scientist of the Year   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Quate's selection was announced in the magazine's July issue.
Quate grew up in a remote area of Nevada, where he attended a one-room schoolhouse.
Quate's switch to another type of microscopy came in 1985.

Calvin Quate has made pioneering contributions in the field of microscopy with the Acoustic Microscope and the Atomic Force Microscope.
Quate’s current program, he and his group are exploring methods of increasing both the scanning speed and the size of the scanned area.
Quate was the recipient of the Third Millennium Medal of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in recognition of his contributions to electrical engineering.

 SoE Annual Report 2001-2002
The way Calvin Quate remembers it, Hongjie Dai had been on the chemistry faculty for approximately 48 hours when he caught Quate on a stairway in the Center for Integrated Systems and proposed a collaboration that would change the future of scanning probe microscopes.
And mass production, says Quate, "makes it very attractive." Quate's group, after all, is working on increasing the speed of scanning probe microscopes by creating arrays of hundreds of cantilevers on a single 4-inch wafer of silicon, each cantilever holding a scanning probe and its tip.
For Quate, who has spent much of his career finding ways to image smaller and smaller samples with more and more detail, the advent of carbon nanotube tips means marked improvements in scanning probe microscopes, used now in imaging and fabrication of nanostructures and digital storage.

 Atomic force microscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a very high-resolution type of scanning probe microscope.
The AFM was invented by Binnig, Quate and Gerber in 1985, and is one of the foremost tools for the manipulation of matter at the nanoscale.
The AFM consists of a cantilever (probe) with a sharp tip at its end that is used to scan the specimen surface.

KW: When I came to Stanford I was looking for an interesting area of research related to the semiconductor industry but I didn't have a particular area in mind.
The specific area I chose, Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL), was determined as much by my advisor, Professor Calvin Quate, as anything else.
I got lucky; I found a group that was working on a really exciting project and still had some work to be done.

This device, easily one of the most elegant and unanticipated inventions of the century, allowed imaging of individual atoms, and won Binnig and Rohrer the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1986.
In 1985, Binnig and Christoph Gerber of IBM Zurich, along with Calvin Quate of Stanford, invented the atomic force microscope.
This allowed imaging nonconductive matter such as living cells to molecular (although not currently atomic) resolution.
