Vapour Deposition (PVD) Seminar: Part 2

Building upon the knowledge from the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) Introductory Seminar – which introduced film growth techniques and potential applications – the Quantum – Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) and Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) will be hosting PVD Seminar: Part 2.

This event will expand on the materials covered in the first seminar. We will be joined by Mike Miller (Angstrom Engineering) who will be further exploring properties of thin films, process parameters and associated effects, statistical process control, and surface analysis techniques.

NANO Beyond the Bench

Nanotechnology Research to Industry Keynote
Robert Menegotto is the CEO of MANTECH, a manufacturer of innovative water and soil quality analyzers. With 25+ years of experience and observing 100s of utilities and laboratories struggling with inefficient water quality testing, Robert saw an opportunity to develop faster, simpler, and greener solutions.

Join the Anti-Oppression Knowledge Integrators working group for an open discussion about the place of anti-oppression work (e.g. decolonization, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.

Globally, anti-oppression work is under attack – it is time to ask, “why does on-campus anti-oppression work matter?â€

Come join the discussion: March 7th at 2:30 pm EV2-2002.

Public Talk with Dr. Alexis Dolphin | Making it Work: Collaboration in Bioarchaeology

In this public talk, Dr. Dolphin will explore what it means to be a researcher aiming to do ‘good science’, while also doing ‘science for good’.

As a bioarchaeologist who works with human remains from archaeological sites in order to reconstruct the lives of past peoples, Dr. Dolphin’s research revolves around collaboration. Working with the dead requires strong relationships with, and sensitivities to, not only your colleagues and national governments, but to the local communities without whom you could not do your work at all.

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) Introductory Seminar

Physical vapour deposition (PVD) is an important category of film growth techniques for quantum, nanotechnology, and semiconductor devices. The Quantum Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF) houses a wide variety of PVD tools to serve the needs of a diverse community of researchers. With so many options for PVD tools, techniques, and process setpoints, how does one choose the right path of investigation and process development for their specific device?
