Nanofabrication platform

The ICN2 Nanofabrication Facility focuses on the design and development of nanofabrication methods and techniques for basic and applied research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. It provides researchers and students an extensive range of processing services to help them carry out their research activities. It also offers support, assistance and training to allow the researchers and other users to safely and efficiently operate the equipment available. The facility is designed to support the fabrication and characterisation of nanoscale materials and structures, and the integration of devices at all length scales. The facility’s mission is to provide high quality services to both internal and external users.

MISSION AND VISION

The Nanofabrication Facility is a cross-groups, general user facility, designed to support the ICN2 research effort. The facility is open to all trained personnel on a recharge basis, including ICN2 as well as external personnel. It is our mission to provide a state-of-the art facility for advanced device fabrication at the micro- and nano-scale. In addition to providing essential micro and nanofabrication capabilities for mainstream research on electronic, optoelectronic and 2D materials and devices, this facility is intended to facilitate the pursuit of research in emerging, interdisciplinary, and rapidly growing fields such as biomedical and biochemical lab-on-a-chip devices, heterogeneous integrated circuits, photonics and phononic devices and nanoscale science and technology. The Nanofabrication Facility aims to deliver outcomes that will have real impact for users, by ensuring that it is easy to access, agile in how it applies engineering expertise to respond quickly and accurately, and always seeking opportunities to enhance the quality of services that are available.
