Jan. 19, 2006

Our speaker was  Mr. Paul Rissman, M.S.E.E., B.S.E.E. (Independent Engineering Consultant), and the topic of his presentation was “Introduction to the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility and Research Examples“

Abstract

The Stanford Nanofabrication Facility is part of the SNF’s National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network. It is a research and development facility with a wide variety of semiconductor processing equipment that is open to external use. In a typical month, there are 200 users of the facility comprised of 120 Stanford graduate students, 20 students and faculty from other universities, and 60 industrial users, primarily from start-up companies. Projects in the lab come from the study of MEMS/NEMS, bio-MEMS/NEMS, sensors/actuators, nanotubes/nanowires, semiconductor materials and device research, magnetic technology, photonic devices and many other fields.

Biography

Paul Rissman is the Director of Research Operations of the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
