We had a detailed discussion with our facility engineers regarding the maximum number of occupants allowed at a time. This number is determined by design considerations, including humidity, heat load, and air change requirements (total HVAC design). To ensure safety, we have a booking system for tools, and biometric entry is only allowed for individuals who pass the safety test. We also offer a lower cost for tool usage during the night and early morning hours. However, we are experiencing an issue as the number of tools is higher than previously anticipated, with training slots bringing in more people. To address this, we are considering staggering staff hours to distribute dependent users throughout the day. Additionally, we are looking into making the biometric entry points restrict the number of users allowed inside. We will also consider a teaching fab that separates research and industrial users. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your fond memories of your previous visit to IISc. We have undergone significant changes since then, and a new visit will provide a completely different experience.

Mission statement The mission of the biennial UGIM Symposium is to bring together leading educators and researchers from university, government, and industry around the world to promote the various exciting fields of micro/nanotechnology. Representatives of university micro/nano fabrication facilities, ranging from new labs to nationally recognized facilities, have found this symposium an excellent forum for exchanging information and presenting new research and educational concepts. Government agencies such as NSF, NIH, NIST, SEMATECH, SRC, DoD and ONR have participated with research papers and updates on funding opportunities. Industry interactions with universities, including technology transfer, collaborative research, and training efforts are frequently presented. This is a signature opportunity for those involved in the field of micro/nanotechnology or in the operation of micro/nano cleanroom facilities.

We have an RTA, JetFirst 100/150 from Jiplec (yes, it is old but was working fine). We use it mostly for annealing PZT/PLZT films around 750 C. We started noticing some changes to the quartz window (picture attached) and the films are damaged after annealing and develop a white layer on the surface. These films don't show any ferroelectric properties after annealing in RTA furnace. At this point we are kind of stuck as we cannot make progress on the research projects without annealing the films. We have contacted the company and they suspect that the quartz window is creating the issue. We have cleaned the quartz window using the procedure the company provided but the problem still exists. The company is suggested to replace quartz window ( with additional parts) and buy a special sample holder (~30K) My questions are: 1. Does anyone have RTA from this company? If so, can you provide your contact so that we can connect off line? 2. Those who use similar RTA furnaces, have you faced similar issues? 3. I am not positive if the issue is with the RTA or with the samples. When we anneal other samples (magnetic- eg. Ni ferrite etc.), we have no issues with those samples. Anyone who has a RTA furnace- would you be willing to help us by annealing a couple of samples for us? 4. At this point, I don't have the money to buy the components but before I even start looking for resources, I want to make sure the problem is RTA and not the process itself (graduate student is using process established by previous graduate students but not getting results). Any help/suggestions/comments would be highly appreciated.

As Brent said we typically do an acid clean on the large upper window. I use HF/Nitric Acid/UPW. The tiny lower window is likely BaF2 and any material that falls down the center pipeline onto this window can cause temperature response inaccuracy. I wouldn't use anything other than air to clean this small window. If you're running with a TC at that temperature, it's probably breaking down and causing material to deposit on the various surfaces. You'll need to run a recalibration after everything is cleaned back up, the procedure is in the user manual and it takes some iteration to get a consistent result across your whole pyrometer range (500-1100C for us).

Over the years we used 3M's products like CG3700 and PP2500 for the very coarse "souvenir" patterns, but oddly those specific products seem to be out of production. One strategy that has interestingly worked is to print first using a nice laser printer on ordinary white paper, and then run it through a high-end office printer onto transparency film. Depending on what copier you're using, the result on a good copier sometimes can be not only more robust but also more opaque than on a laser printer (going directly onto plastic). More frequently when needing a low-cost alternative to glass-chromium (when resolution can be coarse, that is), we go with laser photoplotting services such as https://artnetpro.com/, https://advancerepro.com/, or others. Minimum feature size is generally good to ~10 ?m. Feel free to reach out offline if you'd like more detail.

One Goal. Canada's Success. The NRC's Postdoctoral Fellowship program offers PDFs access to unique world-class facilities and the opportunity to work alongside multi-disciplinary teams of expert researchers and technicians on projects of critical importance to Canada. PDFs will carry out research on innovative research projects, with opportunities for career development (publications and/or industry interaction). PDFs will be offered appointments to the staff of the National Research Council on a term basis and will be offered salaries and benefits currently available to Research Officers. Salaries commensurate with experience are taxable and subject to other deductions. As a guide, the current annual PhD recruiting rate is $74,230. In addition PDFs will be allocated a travel fund to support their work. Project Title A Canadian-Based Silicon Nitride Platform Your Challenge Are you intrigued by the quantum world? Would you like to be at the center of Quantum's second revolution? Then this Postdoctoral Fellowship at Canada's premier National Lab, the National Research Council, is for you! Come and join world-leading experts in the area of quantum optics and nanotechnology, and become an international trendsetter in the field of advanced quantum materials and devices. Today's material platforms for quantum devices fall short when it comes to delivering the right properties for realizing Quantum Advantage. Here at the NRC, we are changing that in a big way! We are establishing a uniquely Canadian silicon-nitride platform, which is set to be the new "silicon" for the world's next-generation photonic and quantum technologies. Your mission - should you choose to accept it - will entail a Quantum-Optics-Lab-On-A-Chip approach. Working with top-tier international universities, industry and other government agencies, like the Canadian Space Agency, you will design, fabricate and characterize chip components that perform and process optical and quantum information. Specially, you will perform a careful study of film-material parameters; and more specifically, the refractive index of highly stoichiometric Si3N4, and how it governs critical dispersion engineering and nonlinear optical qualities needed to achieve on-chip all-optical performance. Are you ready to join us? About AEP We keep Canadians connected by pushing the boundaries of photonics and electronics research to develop new communications and sensing technologies. More...
