Rapid prototyping 3-D nano-pattern large area writer:
The project aims to establish a nanoscale three-dimensional patterning rapid prototyping capability to enable advanced nanofabrication research and development. The extension of patterning nanostructured materials in three dimensions with nanometre resolution, developed for semiconductor processing, to nano-electronics, nanophotonics, nanosensors, nanobiotechnology and fundamental studies of nanoscale phenomena in science and engineering has opened new opportunities in these areas. As these areas accelerate, there is a need to develop nanoscale patterns and structures via rapid prototyping pathways and with methods accessible to an ever-diverse researcher base without a background in nanofabrication. By establishing the first NanoFrazor in Australia, this project aims to provide new technology for the fabrication of high-resolution nanoscale structures and patterns.

The principal aim of this project is to attract and retain very high calibre early career researchers by providing them with the best-available infrastructure and research environment, combined with world-class supervision and mentoring. The project brings together an outstanding team of international collaborators, who will work with the early career researchers to ensure that they are trained and mentored at an international level. The new science, novel characterisation methods, and theoretical models that are outcomes of this project will provide new opportunities and expertise to advance the strategic defence and national security interests of Australia, and the emerging Australian semiconductor device and solar cell industry.

Summary
Advanced facility for magneto-transport characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures. This facility combines a 16 Tesla superconducting magnet with temperature variability from 1.5 degrees above absolute zero to 500 degrees with advanced mobility spectrum analysis algorithms. It will enable improved separation of previously indistinguishable multiple carrier effects in advanced semiconductor systems. This improved separation will allow an improved understanding of multiple carrier effects wh ....Advanced facility for magneto-transport characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures. This facility combines a 16 Tesla superconducting magnet with temperature variability from 1.5 degrees above absolute zero to 500 degrees with advanced mobility spectrum analysis algorithms. It will enable improved separation of previously indistinguishable multiple carrier effects in advanced semiconductor systems. This improved separation will allow an improved understanding of multiple carrier effects which will be essential before the development of frontier semiconductor technologies becomes possible.Read moreRead less

Inductively-coupled plasma etching facility: The aim of this project is to bring together an inductively-coupled plasma etcher with a high resolution tool for optical lithography to create a facility capable of producing nano-structures in silicon surfaces. Such structures are the basis of high performance photonic, nano-electronic, and MicroElectroMechanical (MEM) devices. The lithography tool is a step-and-repeat system capable of exceptionally high rates of throughput so this etcher will be a crucial enabling tool for efficient fabrication of nano-devices for research into quantum computing, high bandwidth, quantum-secure optical communications, renewable energy, and for applications in medicine. The etcher will be available for national access.Read moreRead less
