LNF Research Showcase

November 13, 2009
9:30am-4pm
Location: Ann Arbor, MI

This free event is held in conjunction with the U-M Engineering Graduate Symposium.If you are interested in some of the Engineering Graduate Symposium events, please check here for the schedule of events.

This one-day event showcases the different research projects conducted in the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility. Posters and oral presentations by LNF users will be displayed in different technical sessions and available to all event participants. The event is aimed at researchers from academia and industry who are interested in learning about research being conducted in the LNF and possibly using the LNF capabilities.

Sessions will include the following topics:
• MEMS and microfluidics
• Materials
• Nanomaterials
• Solid State Electronics and Devices

As part of this event, we will also offer a short workshop on STS’s Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) Technology and Pegasus Systems for researchers who are interested. Deep silicon etching using the Bosch process has long been at the heart of much of the research that has occurred in the LNF. Recently we have purchased two new Pegasus etch systems from STS, which dramatically improves on the Bosch process capabilities in our facility. We will be holding a general introduction to this technology followed by a question and answer session to be lead by an applications engineer from STS.
The introductory session will last around 30 minutes and cover basics of the Bosch process as well as the capabilities of our new etch systems. The engineer will be available for one hour after to answer specific questions that you may have regarding these tools and their capabilities.

Participation in the LNF Research Showcase is free, but registration is required.
Online registration is available at here.
