ALL USER MAKE-UP SESSION MA6/BA6 Field Service is Complete OBSOLETE OFFICE EQUIPMENT REFRIGERATOR ALL USER MAKE-UP SESSION A make-up session will be on Jan 26th at 3:00-4:00pm in Birck 1001. If you are unable to attend see Mary Jo in Birck 1220. MA6/BA6 Field Service is Complete Service on the MA6/BA6 was completed this week by Suss field service. Repairs to the bond aligner mechanism and fixture has resulted with normal bond alignment for both fusion and anodic bonder processes. New recipes have been created to bond align anodic recipes Silicon / Silicon / Spacer recipe (1), Silicon / Glass / Spacer recipe (2), and fusion recipe Silicon / Silicon / Spacer removed recipe (3). Service on the Sb6e bonder was also completed this week. The chamber pressure gauge has also been repaired and chamber pressure now reads normal. No appreciable leak back was observed. The chamber can now pump to base pressure of 5e-5mbar in 5 minutes or less. If interested in using the BA6 option for bond alignment, please request bond alignment training on the MA6 using the ILabs application. Training for the Sb6e wafer bonder is also available through ILabs. Please see Mike Courtney for training or if you have questions. OBSOLETE OFFICE EQUIPMENT Everyone, I have noticed a collection of old electronics in your offices. If it something that you're done using, please bring it to my office BRK 1220 and we can make sure they are properly disposed of. This also includes old refrigerators and microwaves. I want to keep your office and labs as uncluttered as I can. Thanks :) Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Birck Nanotechnology Center REFRIGERATOR On Friday January 27 the refrigerator will be cleared out of anything that looks outdated or bad. I do not save the containers unless there is a name on it. If you have questions or concerns do let me know. Thanks for helping Birck stay clean.

BNC Seminar "Circuits on Cellulose" Thursday Jan. 19, 11am Birck 1001
by Shakouri, Ali 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Dear All, I encourage you to attend the seminar below by Prof. Andrew Steckl from Univ. of Cincinnati. Best regards, Ali Title: Circuits on Cellulose: From Transistors to LEDs, from Displays to Microfluidics on Paper Thursday, January 19, 2017 @ 11:00am BRK, ROOM 1001 Andrew J. Steckl Ohio Eminent Scholar & Gieringer Professor of Solid State Electronics Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering University of Cincinnati Abstract: Organic electronics is a rapidly growing field due to a combination of strong performance from improving materials with the low fabrication cost associated with large area printing technology. Recently, the incorporation into organic electronic technology of natural biomaterials that are renewable and biodegradable is being increasingly investigated with the goal of producing “green” electronics that is environment-friendly. In this lecture I will review the use of cellulose-based paper as a material in a variety of electronic (and related) applications, including transistors, light emitting diodes, displays, microfluidics. Paper is a very attractive material for many device applications: very low cost, available in almost any size, versatile surface finishes, portable and flexible. From an environmental point of view, paper is are newable resource and is readily disposable (incineration, biodegradable). Applications of paper-based electronics currently being considered or investigated include biochips, sensors, communication circuits, batteries, smart packaging, electronic displays. The potential advantages of paper-based devices are in many cases very compelling. For example, lab-on-chip devices fabricated on paper for bio/medical applications use the capillary properties of paper to operate without the need of external power sources, greatly simplifying the design and reducing the cost. Specific examples of paper-based devices will be discussed, including organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and field effect transistors (OFET) on flexible and transparent paper, medical diagnostic devices utilizing lateral capillary flow on paper. Bio: Andrew Steckl (Fellow, IEEE and AAAS) received his BS from Princeton and his MS and PhD from the University of Rochester. Since 1988, he has been the Ohio Eminent Scholar & Gieringer Professor of Solid State Electronics at the University of Cincinnati. Current research activities are focused on: organic and biopolymeric materials for photonic and electronic devices; electrofluidicmaterials and devices for nano/bio applications; chem/bio/med smart materials for diagnostics and therapy. Dr. Steckl's research has resulted in 425 publications and over 500 conference presentations. His publications have garnered ~ 10,000 citations in the technical literature, with an h-index of 55. He was awarded the Rieveschl Award for Distinguished Research and Elected Scientific Member of the Bohmische Physikalische Gesselschaft.
