SUMMARY:2015 ANFF Annual Research Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The 2015 ANFF Research Showcase\, ANFF – the home of tomorrow’s entrepreneurs\, will be held on 25 and 26 November 2015 at the Brisbane Convention Centre. \nThe event is the annual gathering for ANFF staff and users from across the organisation to get together\, exchange information and explore collaborative opportunities. This year the focus is on the innovative research carried out in the facilities and ANFF’s role in supporting entrepreneurs. \nEntrepreneurs play a key role in a country’s economy and must be equipped with the skills to take new ideas to market. ANFF fosters entrepreneurship by training researchers in the micro and nano-fabrication skills necessary to prototype devices and advanced materials. \nANFF enables users to investigate and develop new ideas that have longer term implications\, and also provides the facility to take publicly funded research along the pathway to creating commercial outcomes that will ensure the competitiveness of the Australian economy into the future. \nThe 2015 ANFF Research Showcase seeks to contribute to building researcher-to-business linkages and encourage greater mobility between the two sectors.

SUMMARY:Monash Science Public Lecture - Nobel Laureate Sir Konstantin Novoselov
DESCRIPTION: \nMATERIALS IN FLATLAND\nA Monash Science Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate Sir Konstantin Novoselov \nEvent Description\nWhen one writes with a pencil\, thin flakes of graphite are left on a surface. Some of them are only one angstrom thick and can be viewed as individual atomic planes cleaved away from the bulk. This strictly two dimensional (2D) material called graphene\, was presumed not to exist in the free state and remained undiscovered until a few years ago. \nThe very unusual electronic properties of this material\, as well as the possibility for its chemical modification\, make graphene a promising candidate for future electronic applications. Probably the most important ‘property’ of graphene is that it has opened a floodgate of experiments on many other 2D atomic crystals. They cover a massive range of properties: from the most insultating to the most conductive\, from the strongest to the softest. \nSchedule\n5:00pm – 6:00pm: Pre-lecture networking time. Refreshments will be served.\n6:00pm – 7:00pm: Public lecture \nAbout the Speaker\nSir Konstantin Novoselov is Langworthy Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. His work with Andrew Geim to isolate graphene for the first time earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.

SUMMARY:L-Edit workshop - presented by Tanner EDA/Mentor
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication together with ANFF Design House is happy to announce that Tanner EDA/Mentor will be visiting MCN to present an L-Edit workshop. The two-day L-Edit hands-on workshop shows you how to use UPI and T-Cells\, advanced capabilities that allow you to automate simple layout tasks\, create parameterized layout generators (usefulfor creating spatial variation in mask design or for etch characterization/compensation) and perform special analyses. Thew two-day UPI and T-Cells course is divided between presentation and hands- on training exercises. \nCourse content includes: \n\nAdvanced C Review – Arrays\, Pointers\, Memory Allocations\, and C Preprocessor\nCreating Precompiled Macros\nCreating Compiled Macros\nDebugging UPI Macros\nUPI Specific Topics:\n\nUPI Data types\nBinding Macros to Hot Keys and Menus\nCreating multiple macros in one file\nGetting User Input (using the UPI Dialogs)\nTraversing object/cell/layer lists\nWorking with Technology Information\n\n\nL-Comp – Layout composition functions\nUPI & T-Cells Advanced Topics\n\nAttendees require only a rudimentary understanding of L-Edit to participate in this workshop. There is no cost to attend this workshop\, however numbers are limited so registration is essential.

SUMMARY:A practical approach to Reactive Ion Etching presented by Dr Fouad Karouta
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAfter a short introduction of the Australian National Fabrication Facility ACT Node and its capabilities\, this talk will focus on general aspects of reactive ion etching (RIE) technique will be described such as anisotropy\, loading effect\, lag effect\, RIE chemistries and micro-masking followed by a brief overview of etching dielectrics (SiOx\, SiNx) and crystalline Si. The second part of the paper is dedicated to etching III-V compound semiconductors where\, based on RIE results of GaN material\, a simple and practical thermodynamic approach is exposed explaining the criteria as to how to select the best chemistry for etching a specific material and to explain the GaN etching results. Finally\, a comprehensive study of etching InP-based materials using various chemistries will be discussed as well their various photonic applications. \nReference: http://iopscience.iop.org/0022-3727/47/23/233501/ \nAbout the speaker\nFouad Karouta has a chemistry degree from Lebanese University in Beirut\, accomplished in 1986 his PhD in Montpellier University (France) on epitaxy and LEDs of InGaAsSb structures. He joined Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands at the Opto-electronic Devices Section of the Department of Electrical Engineering\, as assistant professor (1987) and associate professor (2000) till early 2009 before joining ANU as the ANFF ACT Node Manager. Fouad has vast experience in managing research facilities and has been involved with research in III-V compound semiconductors (GaAs\, InP\, GaN) for optoelectronic and microelectronic applications for more than 30 years and has published and co-authored a large number of papers on the subject.

SUMMARY:Diamond on demand grand opening
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the grand opening of the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication’s Diamond Deposition Suite. The most advanced of its kind in Australia\, the suite provides the unique ability to grow ultra high purity diamond\, as well as semi-conducting diamond. Use of thin diamond films is a burgeoning research field\, with Australian investigators leading the way in the use of diamond for bionic eye implantable devices. \nThe MCN suite will also extend R&D capabilities for our industry partners in biosensor research\, as well as in electronics\, quantum information processing and manufacturing applications. Our panel of diamond experts includes Bionic Vision Australia’s Professor Steven Prawer\, ARC Laureate Fellow and quantum information specialist\, Professor Lloyd Hollenberg\, and diamond savant\, Dr Alastair Stacey. Dr. Alastair Stacey will showcase the industrial applications of diamond as well as highlight Australia’s place on the world research stage and some of the future applications of diamond.  Prof. Steven Prawer will highlight the work undertaken on the Bionic eye project and the unique ways in which diamond has the development of implantable bionics. \nProf. Lloyd Hollenberg will discuss how researchers are exploiting the quantum properties of diamond for new sensing technologies in nanoscale biology. Included in these technologies are nano-scopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and high resolution neuronal imaging.  The seminar will conclude with an official opening of the Diamond Deposition Suite. Morning tea and optional tours of the facility will follow. \nTo share this event with your colleagues and friends\, download our promotional flyer.
