Upcoming seminar by Keysight on "Advanced High Frequency Device Characterization"
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 02 Feb '24

02 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]

by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Dear Birck community, Please welcome Angshuman Deka, Ph.D. as the newest member of the research scientist team at Birck! He joined us at the start of January and will be primarily in charge of electrical probing (labs 2043 and 2037, tools previously in "J Bay"). He will share the office BRK 1014 with his fellow research scientists Dima Zemlyanov and Neil Dilley (Neil recently stepped into the role of Research Manager overseeing this group). Angshuman completed his Ph.D. at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, and subsequently worked as a post-doc at Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University. During this time, he has worked on magnetic device fabrication, magnetization dynamics, and spintronic phenomena. Currently, he serves as a member of the Editorial Review Board of IEEE Magnetics Letters. Apart from research, he enjoys roasting coffee and going on hikes!

Dear Birck Cleanroom Users, Someone has installed a password on the copier in the gowning room which has resulted in locking out all other users. Whoever did this please clear your password ASAP so that this copier can be used by anyone in the cleanroom user community. Thank you for your cooperation. Ron

Holiday Greetings
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

[cid:image001.png@01DA3427.961B9590] Dear Birck Research Community, Since it is after 3:30 pm on Dec. 21st we are now in our Holiday/Winter Recess Mode here at the Birck Nanotechnology Center (see below for details). We will remain in this reduced operations mode until Tuesday morning, January 2 at which time we will re-enable the hazardous gases and the Toxic Gas Monitoring System, returning the center to full operation. We wish you all a very happy holiday and a relaxing winter break. See you in 2024! Birck Management Staff ___________________ Announcement On behalf of the Birck Leadership Team……. Dear Birck Research Community, The Purdue winter recess begins Friday December 22rd and concludes Tuesday morning, January 2. The university is officially closed during this time. As we have done in past years, the Birck Nanotechnology Center will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the "buddy" system). Following is a description of the Birck center during this period of university closure: 1. All labs and cleanroom will be open. 2. All hazardous gases will be unavailable. 3. Any work with highly dermally toxic materials (25% TMAH, BOE, HF) ABSOLUTELY requires a buddy within eyesight at all times. 4. Precursors for ALD systems will be available. 5. No shipping or receiving is being done at any building on campus. 6. The custodians will not be working so restrooms will not be maintained and waste/trash will not be removed. o We encourage users to keep the facility clean and be extra vigilant about the hygiene. 7. Due to the lack of staffing, any faculty and senior researchers present are encouraged to be more proactive (e.g. occasional walk-throughs checking the labs where there is ongoing research). Email sejurss(a)purdue.edu<mailto:sejurss@purdue.edu> if you notice anything. Since there will be very limited staff support during this winter recess the research groups are strongly encouraged to accomplish as much processing as possible before gases are turned off on Dec. 21. See the following for more detailed information (this will be up on the BNC Wiki): 2023-12-22 to 2024-01-02: Reduced Holiday Operations Due to Purdue’s Winter Recess hazardous gases will be unavailable from 3:30 PM Thursday, December 21st until 8:00 AM on Tuesday, Jan 2nd. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the “buddy” system). Please note the following changes to our normal operation: o ALD sources will remain available • Unavailable gases: • Ammonia (NH3) • Boron trichloride (BCl3) • Chlorine (Cl2) • Dichlorosilane (H2Cl2Si) • Hydrogen (H2) • Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) • Krypton Fluoride (KrF) • Methane (CH4) • Nitric Oxide (NO) • Silane (SiH4) • Trichlorosilane (HCl3Si) • Tools affected: • Reduced capability: o PVD Nitride Sputtering System (NH3 unavailable) o Tube 1 Clean Ox (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Tube 4 Field OX (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Tube 7 General Oxidation (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Panasonic (Cl2 and BCl3 unavailable) o Plasma-Therm Apex SLR ICP RIE Etcher (H2, Cl2 and BCl3 unavailable) • Shutdown: o Axic PECVD (NH3 & SiH4 unavailable) o Easy Tube 3000 DVD (CH4 unavailable) o Epigress (SiH4 unavailable) o H2S CVD (H2S & H2 unavailable) o Nitric Oxide Anneal (NO unavailable) o Plasma-Therm Apex SLR HDPCVD (SiH4 unavailable) o Tube 2 Nitride (NH3 and HCl3Si unavailable) o Tube 3 LTO (SiH4 unavailable) o Tube 6 Polysilicon (SiH4 unavailable) • Work with highly dermally toxic materials (25% TMAH, BOE, HF) ABSOLUTELY requires a buddy within eyesight at all times. • Custodial staff will not be working. • There will be no restocking of shared use supplies. • There will be no availability of engineering staff to answer questions or repair down equipment. o On metallization tools sources will not be changed and depositions must be < 200 nm. o “Preliminary” reservations that require staff approval will not be approved during this time. Contact Steve Jurss (sejurss(a)purdue.edu<mailto:sejurss@purdue.edu>) with any questions.
