[BIRCK NANOTECHNOLOGY CENTER][http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/resources/toolkit/files/logo/di…] Breaking News The installation of the new JEOL JBX 8100FS Electron Beam Lithography System will start on Tuesday September 19! JEOL will have a 3-person crew at Birck to start bringing the 8100FS and its various components into the cleanroom and start the assembly and testing of the JBX 8100FS in P-Bay. It is expected that installation and acceptance will take 8-10 weeks. Once installation and acceptance is completed, it will be showcased to the world at Purdue and Birck. Here are some of the highlights of the new JBX 8100FS- * 100kV * Two exposure modes- high resolution and high throughput modes * Scanning speed of 125MHz * Three cassettes- 6 inch wafer, four inch wafer and a pieces cassette * Minimum line width -less than or equal to 8nm * Overlay +/- 20nm or less * Stitching +/- 20nm or less We will also have a full service contract for 4 years. We are looking forward to adding this new Electron Beam to Birck's research tool set.

[BIRCK NANOTECHNOLOGY CENTER][http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/resources/toolkit/files/logo/di…] New Equipment Installations On Thursday of this week, the old TRE mask-maker was removed from the cleanroom to make way for new equipment installations. Additionally, the vibration damping plate was successfully installed in P-Bay where the new JEOL electron beam lithography system will be located. Thanks for your patience while this work was completed. A new AJA Ion Mill has been ordered and should arrive here at Birck in the October time frame. It is slated to be installed in Q-Bay. The new 40' roll-to-roll system should arrive in September and E-Bay is being prepared to accommodate this new system. All this new equipment keeps Birck on the leading edge of research capability!

Cleanroom Equipment Move
by Reger, Ronald K 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Dear all Birck cleanroom users, Today, Thursday August 10th, the west end of the Birck cleanroom will be temporarily closed to allow equipment moves in & out. We have scheduled a professional heavy equipment moving company to move out the old mask-making Electromask system from the mask shop, and they will also move in the heavy vibration damping plate for the new JEOL e-beam lithography system. This work will commence in the morning and will required the photo bays (M & N-Bays) and P-Bay to be closed during this work. This may take a few hours for both jobs to be complete, during which these west bays will be closed. Other bays in the cleanroom will continue to operate as normal. Thanks for your support and patience. Ron
