2010 International Conference On Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Host: A/Prof Michael James, ANSTO
Duration: 4.5 hours (includes coach transfers)
Australia's only reactor is a neutron factory, providing medical isotopes for nuclear medicine imaging and treatment, neutrons for scientiļ¬c research, and irradiation of industrial materials.
Tour Host: Professor Andrew Dzurak, Director, ANFF NSW Node
Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours (including travel includes coach transfer)
Established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) links 7 university-based nodes to provide researchers and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities - see www.anff.org.au
The capability provided by ANFF enables users to process hard materials (metals, composites and ceramics) and soft materials (polymers and polymer-biological moieties) and transform these into structures that have application in sensors, medical devices, nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.
The NSW Node of ANFF is hosted within the Semiconductor Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) at the University of New South Wales. Established in 1995, the SNF comprises three levels of clean-room laboratories containing a comprehensive collection of micro-electronic and nano-electronic process equipment for fabricating an array of semiconductor devices. Key capabilities include: electron-beam lithography for large area structures; ultra-high resolution EBL for small scale prototype devices; and semiconductor device prototyping. The laboratory supports ground-breaking research in numerous areas, including quantum computing, nanoelectronics, medical devices, photovoltaics and bionics.
