by Weinstein, Dana 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Dear all, Please join me in welcoming Annie Wheeldon to Birck’s administrative team. Some of you may know Annie (previously Cheever) from her 10 years here in Birck between 2001 and 2011. She was instrumental in establishing the facility from the ground up. We are very excited to welcome her back to the community in her new role. Annie is replacing Deidra Howe, but serving 50% Birck and 50% the new PQSEI quantum center under Yong Chen. With the new set of responsibilities and roles, we have had to make some modification to the primary admin assisting different faculty. The new distribution is attached. Please inform your students/postdoc/staff of the new assignments. Thank you, Dana

Future BNC Meeting - TODAY Thurs. 4/11@ 12pm in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Dear all, The next Future BNC Meeting will be this Thursday, 4/11 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Rahim Rahimi<https://engineering.purdue.edu/MSE/people/ptProfile?resource_id=116316>, Assistant Professor of Materials Engineering will present an overview of Nanomanufacturing for the first half then the remainder will be open for high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Laser processing and printing of multilayer films for inexpensive and flexible microsystems Flexible/stretchable electronics offer ideal properties for fabricating emerging health monitoring devices that can monitor the user’s well-being and their surrounding in a proactive and autonomous fashion. While the attractiveness of these devices are evident, they are often fabricated by conventional cleanroom required techniques that are either expensive or incompatible with rapid large-scale (e.g., roll-to-roll) production, which often prevents their translation into industry for addressing the community needs. In this talk, I will present a few inexpensive fabrication technologies that can be utilized for developing various flexible/stretchable physical and chemical sensors for wearable and lab-on-chip applications using novel inexpensive techniques including laser processing and printing. This presentation is divided into two main sections, each showcasing one of these technologies. In the first section, I will describe the use of localized CO2 laser irradiation to selectively convert thermoset polymer films (e.g., polyimide) into electrically conductive and highly porous carbon micro/nano structures. This process provides a unique and facile approach for direct writing of carbon-based conductive patterns on flexible polymer sheets in ambient conditions, eliminating complexities of current methods such as expensive CVD processes and complicated formulation/preparation of conductive carbon based inks used in inkjet printing. In this section, I will also demonstrate the use of laser ablation for selective patterning of conductive coatings from multilayer films such as ITO-coated PET and metalized paper as a simple and scalable alternative to conventional photolithography-based processes. In the second part of this talk, I will demonstrate a few strategies that were used to leverage printing technologies to create innovative platforms, including Smart dressing for monitoring and treatment of chronic wounds, disposable lab-on-chip diagnostic platforms, and electrochemical sensors for in-situ monitoring of soil nutrients. I will conclude by briefly commenting on our efforts to translate some of these technologies into clinical practice, as well as the future directions of this research and its potential combination with woven and non-woven smart textile-based systems.

FW: Derek Lengacher - Crane - Seminar today 11-12 in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

[Derek Lengacher Electronics Engineer at Crane ,Microelectronics Failure Analysis: Overview of a Unique Discipline] Bio: Derek Lengacher is a Failure Analyst with the NSWC Crane Failure Analysis Laboratory where he has served for over 10 years and led numerous investigations into failures of various components and systems. He began his career in the automotive industry with Kimball Electronics Group where he served as a product engineer for Antilock Brake System (ABS) electronic control modules; responsible for the integrity of the entire module from selection of system components for qualification to failure analysis of modules returned from the field. Derek then transitioned to NSWC Crane where he was initially responsible for the construction and repair of SONAR transducers used on various Navy vessels before his transition to the Failure Analysis Laboratory. Abstract: Every day, electronic systems become more integrated into basic human existence. Some of these systems (including health care, transportation, and defense) require high reliability operation due to the potential catastrophic consequences of failure. When one of these high reliability systems experiences failure, it is imperative to understand why the system failed so that future failure can be averted. Failure analysis of these systems, and their underlying electronic components, is a unique discipline requiring diverse skills and tools for success. This presentation will explore the basics of failure analysis including what it is, the reasons for performing it, and the tools and techniques used to successfully complete an investigation. Some interesting findings will also be presented and briefly discussed.
