ANN ARBOR – Micro and nanotechnology are generating a huge amount of buzz. Behind the buzz and futuristic predictions are some rather amazing products that are on the market today. At the next High-Tech Tuesday, two University of Michigan professors will walk the audience through these tiny devices that create big changes in the world of tommorrow.
The program features Fred Terry, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Interim Director of the Solid State Electronics Laboratory, and Dennis Grimard, Manager, Michigan Nanofabrication Facility.
Topics to be covered in this seminar include the benefits provided by micro/nano products, micro/nano products that are on the market today, research being performed at the UM Solid State Electronics Laboratory, and the capabilities of the UM Michigan Nanofabrication Facility.
Much of the actual fabrication work done is carried out in the Michigan Nanofabrication Facility (MNF), a Class 1000/100/10 research laboratory with approximately 6,000 square feet of work area. The research labo-ratory consists of five process bays plus five separate, connected rooms for e-beam lithography and metrol-ogy and for compound semiconductor materials growth.
The MNF is available, on a fee basis, for use by research groups from government, industry and universities. To facilitate usage of the lab, UM is a participant in the National Science Foundation?s National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, which provides funding for training support.
To learn more, attend the event March 28 from 5-7 pm at the Ann Arbor IT Zone. The cost is $5 for students, $25 for non members and free for members.
