Methods are presented for self-alignment and assembly of objects with micron and nanometer-level features. The approach is a combination of kinematic coupling and elastic averaging in which mating alignment features spanning multiple length scales are successively brought into contact. When the objects are pressed together, the larger alignment features cause necessary deformation to ensure adequate alignment at the smaller length scales. Analytical and numerical modeling indicate that the largest alignment features can be designed to generally resolve global systematic errors while the smaller alignment features can correct local errors to achieve sub-micron alignment. Physical realization with ion beam etching, deposition, and thermal imprint lithography are also discussed.

Numerical modeling of sintering by continuum mechanical simulations is successfully applied today to predict e.g. the distortions developing during sintering. Several examples that demonstrate the possibilities of such simulations especially for industrial applications have been published recently. However, there are still open questions regarding the influence of grain rearrangement, crack formation and anisotropic starting configurations (e.g. due to prior compaction). By using the Discrete Element Method the sintering process can be investigated on a more fundamental mesoscopic scale. This method also considers effects due to particle rearrangement or anisotropic configurations as well as crack developments automatically. Their influence on various macroscopic properties like densification rate and viscosities is studied. Suggestions how to use these insights to improve existing continuum mechanical models are given.
