Message-ID: <LNELLLGCIFJNIFEEPDBPOEBNCBAA.leonardc@bonair.stanford.edu>

All.

The County Inspector will be on-site to witness the testing of the sensors
that was recently converted from the old FMK to the new Satellite units on
Monday, September 10, 2008 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon. There are nine
sensors
that are located in the tox. vault 115 and the rest are 14 O2 sensors
located
in different areas in CIS and CISX that are to be tested.

Announcements will be made to the lab members in the SNF facility prior to
any
testing. You are not required to evacuate the fab or the building during
these
times unless you are told to do so.

Lab members will see a number of staff reservations on tools during these
times.
During the testing it is possible the gas cabinets will be shutdown
preventing
the flow of process gases to these tools. To prevent any tools from
aborting,
these tools will be off-line during the testing.

If you have any questions or concern, please feel free to contact any SNF
staff
member.

We are sorry for the inconveniences this cause. Thank you for your patience.

Leonard

Ph.D. Oral Examination


Reconfiguring the flow of light: micromachined deformable optical
gratings for multiplexers and tunable lasers

Christophe Antoine
Department of Electrical Engineering
Stanford University

Advisor: Professor Olav Solgaard

Date: Friday, September 7th, 2007
Time: 3:00pm (Refreshments at 2:45pm)
Location: Ginzton Lab, Applied Physics Bldg - Room 200


Abstract:

In optical fiber communication networks, the growth of high-bandwidth
and on-demand applications will require a dynamic allocation of
resources. Reconfigurability becomes hence a key attribute for
next-generation optical components. Using optical
micro-electro-mechanical systems (optical MEMS) technology, deformable
gratings can be used to build such adaptive systems.

In this talk, the design, fabrication and characterization of tunable
blazed gratings (TBGs) are first presented. A TBG is a one-dimensional
stairway-like array of individually-addressable piston mirrors. The
fabrication of a TBG combines KOH etching to define the mirrors and
deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) to create the electrostatic
actuators.

Then, the architecture for a 1xP cyclically reconfigurable optical
multiplexer is described with a closed-form analytical model for the
grating transmission under a simple actuation scheme requiring only
(P-1) control voltages. The implementation of a 1x3 tunable
demultiplexer in the telecommunication C-band demonstrates the
validity of the concept and the theoretical model.

Finally, a deformable grating is used as the external reflector in a
wavelength-tunable external cavity semiconductor laser. Combining a
model for the grating transmittance with a two-mirror and a
three-mirror cavity analytical model, the wavelengths of the resonant
modes for the cavity are determined and the lasing wavelength is
predicted. Laser tuning over the full grating free spectral range,
across internal cavity modes and across external cavity modes is
achieved.

Abstract:

 

Incorporation of custom-design nanomaterial into photonic devices and
systems enables the realization of optical functionalities favorably
controlled with external optical and electrical effects. In my research
group, we work on the development of new nanophotonic hybrid devices and
systems that consist of multiple combinations of nanostructures (epitaxially
grown, chemically synthesized, deposited, etc.) for the applications of
light generation, displays, modulation, sensing, imaging, alternative
energy, and communications in a wide spectral range from the ultraviolet to
the visible.  

 

In this talk, we will present the device conception, design, modeling,
fabrication, experimental characterization, and theoretical analysis of
examples of our hybrid nanophotonic systems that incorporate different types
of functional nanomaterial including GaN/InGaN and AlGaN/GaN quantum
structures, CdSe, CdSe/ZnS and CdS nanocyrstals and nanorods, Au-Ag
nanoparticles, and TiO2-ZnO nanoparticles. Among these examples are our
hybrid white light sources for solid state lighting with tunable light
properties; our localized plasmon-coupled nanocrystal emitters for
controlled modification of spontaneous emission; our nanocrystal hybridized
scintillators for enhanced photodetection and photovoltaics in UV; and our
visible (blue) and UV quantum electroabsorption modulators for optical clock
injection directly into silicon microelectronics and secure no-line-of-sight
communication.

Subject: Suspicious Person in the CIS / CISX Building
Message-ID: <20070911221822.5AFD14C4AF@smtp2.stanford.edu>

Just a short while ago there was a very suspicious person wondering through
the floors and offices of the CIS / CISX building.

 

He is a black, thin man about 6 feet tall with short hair.  He is wearing a
short sleeve blue and white striped shirt and non-descript pants.  He has an
empty gray computer bag on his shoulder and is holding a rolled up piece of
paper.  He periodically looks at this paper so; it looks like he is looking
for someone and has a reason for being in the building.  Two of our alert
SNF Staff members hadn't seen him before and one of them followed him to
other floors of the building and watched him go into several different
offices.  When asked if he needed any help he said he was looking for Nick
Long however, we don't have a Nick Long on our directory.  When we called
Stanford Police they said he fit the description of someone they have been
looking for. 

 

Please be aware of your personal belongings and surroundings and if you see
anyone that fits this description we have been asked by the Stanford Police
to call 9-911 because it's considered an emergency.

Labmembers:

At about 3 pm today, the lab was evacuated in response to chlorine 
smell.  A contractor working on facilities installation accidentally 
bumped the gas line.  The release was momentary, but significant.  The 
lab was kept closed while the smell dissipated.  Because the integrity 
of the chlorine gas line is uncertain, it has been purged and is now 
evacuated.  The line will be fully leak checked tomorrow. 

The lab is open again for use.  Chlorine gas will be unavailable to 
those systems using it.  If you had equipment enabled during this time, 
please ask staff members to make Coral adjustments.  Our apologies for 
the inconvenience.

Many thanks to labmembers who were in the lab at the time.  Evacuation 
was done quickly and in an orderly fashion.  Many thanks to Staff 
members who stayed late to ensure the lab is safe and rescue labmembers' 
wafers.

Agilent Seminar
?Highly Sensitive Scanning Impedance Probe Microscopy?


Speaker:  Hassan Tanbakuchi, Senior Research Scientist, Agilent Technologies
Date:  September 19, 2007
Time:   3:00pm ? 4:30pm
Location:  CIS Auditorium


Abstract:

Emerging nanotechnology and biotechnology are in 
direct need of metrology tools with better than 
10 ?nm spatial resolution. Scanning local probe 
microscopy (SLPM) techniques have advanced our 
knowledge of surfaces and materials at atomic 
scales. These methodology tools include the 
scanning tunneling microscope (STM), atomic force 
microscope (AFM), scanning capacitance microscope 
(SCM), magnetic force microscope (MFM), scanning 
thermal microscope (SThM), and scanning near field optical microscope (NSOM).

The said nano measurement methodologies excluding 
SCM (measures the dopant profile of 
semiconductors), are focused on topography and 
structural properties of the materials. We are 
proposing a new measurement technology that was 
brought together by Agilent?s core competencies 
in the interdisciplinary fields of test and 
measurement, nano technology and life sciences. 
This new technology enables the simultaneous 
measurements of AFM (topography, structural 
properties) and SIPM (Scanning Impedance Probe 
Microscopy). SIPM measures electrical properties 
of the materials (i.e. dielectric properties), 
providing the researchers in the polymer science, 
semiconductors and bio science a new analytical 
tool to advance the state of technology.

The presentation will review Agilent?s nano 
measurement tools, followed by the definition of 
the SIPM, and an explanation of the technical 
challenges in developing this new technology. We 
will show the latest results followed by 
potential benefit this technology might bring other scientific disciplines.


Brief Bio:

with the Components Test Division in Agilent 
Santa Rosa.  He has been an employee of 
Hewlett-Packard and Agilent since 1978.  Hassan 
received his Bachelors of Science degree from 
Utah State University in 1976 and his Masters of 
Science degree from the University of California 
at Santa Barbara in 1978.  He has numerous

Ph.D. Oral Defense Announcement

?A microfluidic biochip based on magnetoresistive detection of 
nanoparticles?

Sebastian J. Osterfeld

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Stanford University

Friday, September 28th 2007, at 2:00pm (refreshments served at 1:45pm)
David Packard EE Building, Room 101

The detection of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) labels is a promising 
alternative to optical detection of fluorescent labels in biomolecular 
assays, in part because MNPs are not susceptible to pH, bleaching, or 
autofluorescence, but especially because microscopic quantities of MNPs 
can be detected with simple and inexpensive magnetoresistive sensors 
such as spin valves. The goal of this dissertation was to develop and 
demonstrate a biochip based on this detection principle.

The particular novelty of this work is the extensive demonstration of 
this detection principle with some of the smallest MNPs in use to date, 
the small size of which led to some unexpected benefits, and the 
establishment of a fabrication process that is suitable for mass 
production of durable microfluidic biochips for MNP-based analyte 
quantification assays.

Process challenges included finding a sufficiently durable ultra-thin 
biosensor passivation and developing a fabrication process that is 
compatible with the delicate nature of spin valve sensors, which cannot 
withstand high temperatures or corrosive reagents. In particular, by 
patterning a 30 micron layer of PDMS affixed to a rigid glass wafer, a 
process was developed that combines the advantages of soft lithography 
PDMS microfluidics, such as low-temperature bonding and conformity, with 
the high alignment accuracy, mechanical rigidity, and wafer-level 
integration that traditionally could only be achieved with anodically 
bonded microfluidics.

The resulting MagArray biochips are available in both open-well and 
multi-channel fluidic formats and have been validated in several protein 
and DNA detection assays. Without employing molecular amplification, 
protein detection sensitivities below 600 pM can be easily achieved, and 
many roads towards additional improvements remain to be explored. Thanks 
to the fortuitous development of this truly interdisciplinary project, 
several tangential areas of research have opened up and are expected to 
grow.

Subject: CAD Room (CIS 151) Cleanup!
Message-ID: <46F98FB4.7060905@stanford.edu>

Greetings labmembers --

Here we are, in the new academic year...  And to get things off to a 
fresh start (and prep for the coming annual shutdown activities), there 
will be a cleanup of the common storage area in the CAD room (CIS 151). 

So please note:  Any items or boxes not meeting the following criteria 
will be removed from the area, starting November 1.

1.  Storage bins should be plastic, preferably translucent.
2.  Each bin should be clearly labeled with the owner's Coral login, 
along with the current Month/Year.
3.  Bins must be on a shelf (not on the floor).  If they are on the top 
shelf, they cannot extend above the shelf posts.
4.  Owner must be an active labmember (significant equipment enabling 
over the last 12 months.)
5.  All items must be stored in bins -- loose items (boxes, notebooks, 
etc) will be removed.
6.  Items and bins dated before 2007 are subject to reclaim or disposal.

Please help us do what we can to keep clutter to a minimum.

Thanks,

Your SNF Staff

Subject: N2  and O2 Shutdown/ upgrade during holiday shutdown
Message-ID: <46FA76E7.9080009@stanford.edu>

Hello All
    Just a forewarning, concerning N2 and O2 upgrades during holiday 
shutdown.  In an effort to improve the quality and quantity of our house 
gases,
    we are going to have a new vaporizer installed on our bulk N2 as 
well as a purifier on the High purity N2. A new filter will also be 
installed on the bulk O2.
       This work will begin on Dec.19 our shutdown day. There will be a 
temporary N2 supply to keep us going while the N2 work is done.
     The tie in of the O2 filter will take approximately5 hours and 
there will be no backup during this time. Our contractor would like to 
also do this on the 19th.Please let me know if this will be a problem 
for any of your tools or projects.
    Hopefully this project will improve both quality and quantity of our 
house gases. Thank you for your patience and understanding.ted

Subject: Found Cell Phone in the Lab
Message-ID: <20070926182742.BDCA74CEFC@smtp2.stanford.edu>

Dear Lab Members,

 

A lab member found a cell phone in the lab.  It is a sliver flip phone and
it has the logo LG on it.  I'm in cubicle #41 on the first floor of the CIS
building, if this is your phone.

 

Thank you,

 

Maureen
