2. 1. Playing the Matching Game : An Institutional Analysis of Executive Recruitment and Selection in Software Start-ups: Silicon Valley and Stockholm

   Author : Tiziana Sardiello; Christofer Edling; Mary Brinton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; job-matching; executive recruitment; executive selection; entrepreneurship; start-up; software; institutionalism; institutional logics; Silicon Valley; Stockholm; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

   Abstract : Software start-ups make media headlines daily, suggesting that it may take only a garage and two engineering students to begin such companies, and that these same people will constitute the core of the executive team until these organizations become multinational giants. Despite these spontaneous starts, newly formed entrepreneurial ventures have many obstacles to overcome in their resource and cultural environments when establishing their practices. READ MORE

4. 2. Electrical Characterization of Silicon Nanogaps

   Author : Jonas Berg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic molecules; Molecular electronics; Surface leakage currents; Low-frequency noise; Soft breakdown; TSRAM; Resonant tunneling diodes; Selective etching; Silicon nanogaps; Nanocontacts;

   Abstract : We have designed and manufactured silicon nanogaps aimed at electrically interfacing molecules, utilizing the precision thickness control in an oxidation process. An insulating layer was formed on a silicon wafer, and then polysilicon was deposited on top. READ MORE

   Abstract : We have designed and manufactured silicon nanogaps aimed at electrically interfacing molecules, utilizing the precision thickness control in an oxidation process. An insulating layer was formed on a silicon wafer, and then polysilicon was deposited on top. READ MORE

6. 4. Design and fabrication of hidden hinge monocrystalline silicon micromirrors for maskless lithography

   Author : Martin Bring; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; isotropic etching; LOCOS; micromirror; maskless lithography; chevron notch; low temperature transfer bonding; fracture toughness;

   Abstract : Micromirror-based maskless lithography has recently received attention as an attractive candidate to tackle challenges associated with the continued de-vice scaling in the semiconductor industry. The micromirrors work by diffrac-tion and the requirements on planarity are very tough, e.g. peak-to-valley dif-ferences of a few nanometers. READ MORE

7. 5. Venture capital as a tool for regional development: Exit patterns and long-term consequences

   Author : Per Hulthén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ecosystem.; Venture Capital; Startups; Entrepreneurship; Exit; Policy;

   Abstract : Venture capital (VC) funded high-tech startups are often cited drivers of economic impact and catalysts of regional growth. Public support of high-tech startups and investments into venture capital has thus been a popular focus for public policy globally in the past decades. READ MORE
