"FIB Users Meeting & RAITH WORKSHOP"
Dr. Joseph Klingfus, Raith, Dr. Doug Wei and Jeff Marshman, Zeiss
29 Oxford Street, Pierce 100F
The Crossbeam (FIB/SEM) systems at CNS have optional software and hardware from Raith that enable milling of complex patterns using various alignment techniques. The patterns can be generated within the Raith software or imported from various CAD programs. Dr. Joseph Klingfus will present to us an overview of the capabilities of the Raith system. The presentation and discussion will be followed by a 2-3 hour hands-on workshop. Bring your questions, data and samples! |

NNIN International Winter School for Graduate Students - Nanoelectronics
(Application Deadline: Sept. 14th, 2009)
Once again, NNIN will conduct an International Winter School for
Graduate Students, this year in Mumbai at IIT-Bombay, Nov 30-Dec 13,
2009. Travel will begin on Friday Nov. 27. This year's topic will be
Nanoelectronics.
The School will consist on an intense technical course on
Nanoelectronics at the graduate level--a one semester course taught
over an intense 6 days. The course will be taught by leading faculty
from US and Indian institutions. Approximately 10 outstanding graduate
students from across the US will be chosen to participate.
We encourage applications from serious, adventurous, advanced graduate
students with an interest in Nanoelectronics, in the international
aspects of scientific research, and in the impact of science and
technology on the 3d world. Application.
