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!

Birck Nanotechnology Center Wiki

We are pleased to announce the launch of BNCWiki, a collaborative knowledge space open to all BNC researchers. Anyone subscribed to BNC-all with a current Purdue Career Account may access, edit, and add pages, upload attachments, and make comments. It is hosted on the wiki software Confluence via ITaP, and offers user-friendly editing, easy upload of documents, and granular page access/editing restrictions. We welcome your inputs, comments, and questions. Please access the Quick Start Guide for more information about the project and how to contribute.
