BNC Construction Plans: Future Research Closures & Interruptions for 2024 - 2025 Zoom Meeting
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Dear Birck Users, Many of you are aware of Purdue's Board of Trustees' investment to upgrade Birck's aging infrastructure and enhance our facilities. This upgrade is essential for the continued operation and modernization of our facilities. While this presents a significant opportunity for Birck, it also means that the complexity of the project will temporarily disrupt certain research programs and projects, especially those requiring frequent cleanroom access. We are committed to minimizing the impact on research by conducting construction in phases and maintaining certain capabilities in each core to allow for ongoing projects. Each phase has a unique construction schedule, so we have scheduled a 2-hour meeting for March 12, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm to go through the details of the plans. The meeting will be available both in person in BRK_1001 and virtually (Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/96121685340<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…>). A calendar invite will be sent shortly. Due to the complexity of this project, we have asked Purdue University Physical Facilities Management and Pepper Construction to join the meeting and answer any detailed questions you may have. This meeting is crucial for those affected by the anticipated 12-18 months of research interruptions at the Birck Center. Additional follow-up meetings will be planned as needed. Proactively we are completing early testing of cleanroom operations in preparation for the spring 2024 Preventative Maintenance cycle. This has been detailed, along with possible future interruptions, in the announcement sent on 2/8/2024. We look forward to discussing these plans further and a bright future for the Birck Nanotechnology Center.

REMINDER: Upcoming seminar by Keysight on "Advanced High Frequency Device Characterization"
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hello All - Please be advised of an upcoming seminar on Advanced High-Frequency Device Characterization. It will be on February 8 from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM at BRK 1001. The speakers are Mark Johnson and Jon Kinney from Keysight Technologies. The seminar will pertain to the new high frequency device characterization capabilities in Birck. This seminar will begin by covering the basics of time domain instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and arbitrary waveform generators. It will focus on Keysight's Ultra High Performance UXR Oscilloscope coupled with the 92 GSa/s M8196A Arbitrary Waveform Generator which offer unparalleled flexibility for both digital and RF analysis. The UXR platform spans 10 - 110 GHz of bandwidth and can provide 2 GHz of digital down conversion anywhere in its entire bandwidth span. The 92 GSa/s M8196A has 32 GHz of bandwidth, sub 9ps risetimes, and frequency response compensation to help clean up non-ideal signal paths. Finally, after reviewing the highlights of current relevant research within the groups and staff, Keysight will provide best practices and recommendation on how to utilize and maximum capability of new equipment to achieve desired data sets and measurement results. Lunch will be provided, so RSVP is required. Attendees can just send me an email at dekaa(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dekaa@purdue.edu>. The poster for the seminar is attached herewith. Regards, Angshuman ------------------------ Angshuman Deka, PhD Research Scientist Birck Nanotechnology Center, Room 1014 Purdue University West Lafayette, IN, USA 47906 [cid:image001.png@01DA55A6.868CFDD0] [cid:image002.png@01DA55A6.868CFDD0]
