Summary
Multi-function high resolution-analytical scanning electron microscope facility. The aim of this proposal is to establish a high resolution electron microscope facility as part of a comprehensive materials characterisation infrastructure required to support Swinburne's expanding activities in nanotechnology. A high resolution SEM in conjunction with an upgrade of the current SEM will provide advanced instrumentation for nanoscale imaging, analysis and manipulation of materials. The proposed faci ....Multi-function high resolution-analytical scanning electron microscope facility. The aim of this proposal is to establish a high resolution electron microscope facility as part of a comprehensive materials characterisation infrastructure required to support Swinburne's expanding activities in nanotechnology. A high resolution SEM in conjunction with an upgrade of the current SEM will provide advanced instrumentation for nanoscale imaging, analysis and manipulation of materials. The proposed facility will create new opportunities for collaborative programs with local and overseas researcher and will facilitate rapid progress in research programs across the entire University in particular those related to two ARC Centres of Excellence in which the University is a core partner.Read moreRead less

This project aims to build an advanced multi-functional Electro-Opto-Magneto-Mechanical analysis platform for characterizing nanomaterials and micro-/nano-scale devices. This platform expects to provide rich and unique characterization capabilities (electrical, optical, magnetic and mechanical) for hybrid devices with low temperature and high vacuum environment. The expected outcomes include multidisciplinary research collaborations and a wide range of next-generation technologies including non-invasive medical instruments, wearable devices, communication, quantum information systems and energy storage solutions. This should enable local design and construction of hybrid devices and advance the growth of local high-technology industries.Read moreRead less

Summary
Setting up an integrated wirebonding and testing facility for MEMS applications. This project intends to setup an integrated wire bonding and testing facility suitable for Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. Wire bonding is an essential step for making the contacts of any micro device with external power supply or signal conditioning circuitry. The contact pads for such devices vary in size from 0.050 mm x 0.050 mm to few 100s of micrometers. The proposed facility will be requi ....Setting up an integrated wirebonding and testing facility for MEMS applications. This project intends to setup an integrated wire bonding and testing facility suitable for Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) applications. Wire bonding is an essential step for making the contacts of any micro device with external power supply or signal conditioning circuitry. The contact pads for such devices vary in size from 0.050 mm x 0.050 mm to few 100s of micrometers. The proposed facility will be required for making contacts either using thermal or ultrasonic methods with complete automatic stages. The electrical contacts are used to drive or monitor MEMS, Polymer micro devices and nano- fluidic systems. This facility will be used for different applications including photonics and communication devices (RMIT), flexi circuits and microwave devices (DSTO) and micro/nano fluidic systems (SUT). This will be the only advanced integrated facility in Victoria, which will have the wire bonding(ball & wedge), die bonding and bond testing facilities together.Read moreRead less
