Copiers moving this Friday March 2nd
by Totten, Mary J 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Everyone, This is to let you know ahead of time that we are moving two of our Birck copiers on this Friday March 2nd. Starting at 8:00AM on Friday, you will not be able to print, copy, or fax on both BRK 1020 and BRK 1222. The copier on the 2nd floor will be available at all times. BRK 1020 will be relocated just outside BRK 1069. BRK 1222 will be located in the hallway behind the mailboxes. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Jo Totten at tottenm(a)purdue.edu. Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Building Logistics Coordinator Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University/Discovery Park 1205 W.

FW: NSAC/NCN Seminar on March 1, 2012 at 3:30-4:30 PM

24 Feb '12

NSAC/NCN Seminar Series 2012 Topic: Non-planar 3D III-V MOSFETs for high-speed low-power logic applications Abstract: In this talk, we review recent developments on non-planar 3D III-V MOSFETs for high-speed low-power logic applications. In the 2011 ITRS roadmap, III-V MOSFETs have been considered promising candidate for Si CMOS at beyond 14nm technology node, due to its high mobility and saturation velocity. Targeting the 14nm channel length, we demonstrated non-planar 3D III-V transistors, including InGaAs FinFETs, HFinFET, and gate-all-around nanowire MOSFETs by top-down approach, to address the increasing demand for electrostatic control. Fabrication and characterization of the 3D III-V MOSFETs are summarized in this talk. Speaker: Jiangjiang Gu, PhD candidate(Prof. Peter Ye Group) in ECE, Purdue University Date/time: Thursday, March 1, 2012 3:30 PM- 4:30 PM at Birck 1001 Refreshment will served.

They have to get their abstracts in by Wed, Feb 22 From: Geddes, Shannon / SRC [mailto:Shannon.Geddes@src.org] Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 10:01 AM To: DL.geddes.TECHCON.2012.Call.for.Faculty Subject: FW: SRC TECHCON 2012 - Call for Abstracts The deadline for TECHCON 2012 abstracts is this Wednesday, February 22. Please make sure you know that you need web accounts and need to be in the SRC student database associated with SRC sponsored research BEFORE submitting an abstract. Submit abstracts as soon as possible to make sure all the requirements are met by the posted deadline. Regards, Shannon Geddes From: Geddes, Shannon / SRC Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 1:30 PM To: 'DL.geddes.TECHCON.2012.Call.for.Faculty(a)src.org' Subject: SRC TECHCON 2012 - Call for Abstracts It is with great pleasure that SRC announces TECHCON 2012 to be held September 10 - 11, 2012 at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin, Texas. TECHCON is designed to foster technical interaction among SRC's academic, government, and industry communities. The TECHCON 2012 program will include up to 16 technical paper sessions showcasing research funded by SRC research programs through the presentation of 144 papers and accompanying posters. Technical paper presentations will be fifteen minutes in length and will be organized according to related technologies. TechFair will feature a poster display from each presenter based on his/her presentation. TechFair sessions provide an excellent opportunity for students to discuss their research projects in a one-on-one setting. TECHCON 2011 received rave reviews for sessions including papers from GRC, FCRP, and NRI students. This year we will be adding presentations from ERI students. TECHCON 2012 will be a two-day event focused on students within one-year of graduation. This Call for Abstracts is extended to all GRC, FCRP, NRI, and ERI researchers to invite their students to submit abstracts of original research. Since TECHCON 2012 is open only to the SRC community, authors are not precluded from publishing/presenting in the open literature at a later date. Abstract submission<http://www.src.org/calendar/e004114/> is now open! Deadline for submission is 3:00 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday, February 22, 2012. We encourage you to post the attached announcement in a prominent place and encourage your students to submit abstracts this year. Thank you for your excellent research and ongoing support of SRC. We look forward to seeing you and your students at TECHCON 2009. Call for abstracts: http://www.src.org/calendar/e004114/ ______________________________________ Shannon M.

"Ask the Staff" Forum Launches!
by Reger, Ronald K 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

To the Birck Research Community, We're pleased to announce the launch of a new web-based forum for Birck researchers, "Ask the Staff." Our goal with this forum, hosted on the Purdue Engineering Intranet, is to increase the collaboration and communication between the Birck research community and the staff. This is a place to ask process questions, inquire about equipment, discuss safety issues and procedures, and bring up almost anything relative to working at the Birck Nanotechnology Center. We encourage you to use this new communication tool, and over time there should be many threads developing and evolving on a variety of subjects. All it takes to log in is your career account User Name and Password. Please give this a try, and as always, your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ron LINK: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Intranet/Groups/BNC/AsktheStaff
