All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the chilled water repair is complete and all systems are returned to normal. Only authorized personnel will be allowed to enter the cleanroom during this time period. In addition, the laboratory areas will also be affected by this interruption. As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Tuesday, December 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, December 7. However, work that involves taking standard electrical measurements may be carried out in the LABS provided that fluctuating air temperature and humidity do not affect the readings. No chemical work will be allowed during this period. It is anticipated that the campus chilled water repairs will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, December 7. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this important repair shutdown. Mark Voorhis Building Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Deadline announced for requisitions $10,000 and greater for holiday, winter recess The deadline to submit a purchase Request of $10,000 and over to be processed by the holiday/winter recess is 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7.

Reminder: BNC Fab Forum today @ 1 PM in the BNC Atrium
by Wirth, Justin C 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Greetings all, this afternoon's Fab Forum will open with equipment status updates, follow with Dr. Tony Cofer from Prof. Alina Alexeenko's group talking about successes and struggles with their Film Evaporation MEMS Tunable Array (FEMTA) - Heater Liftoff Lithography, and then open up for Open Forum discussion. Tony's challenging process involves lithography and metallization on sloped features. While this pushes what is possible with standard fabrication techniques, challenges such as gap fill, adhesion, and lift-off quality are similar to issues other groups are currently seeing or have seen in the past. Please stop by if you're able to share your experience or to get ideas for how to solve your current problems. Light snacks will be served along with: Coffee of the week: Sumatran, medium roast Tea of the week: Jasmine green For those who were unable to attend last week, discussion has been posted on BNCWiki: https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki/Fab+Forum+2018-11-05 Thanks, we hope to see you there, Justin Justin C.
