Thin Films of Oxide Ceramics. Aluminium oxide films are used extensively in the Australian industries of Protective & Decorative Coatings (examples include door-knobs and cutting-tools). The industry will be offered a remarkably simple process for preparation of high quality films.

The industry will be offered a remarkably simple process for preparation of high quality films. In the microelectronic industry, the uses of aluminium oxide films as a dielectric alternative to silicon dioxide has just started to emerge world - wide and this new process would make a dramatic impact with commercial benefits for Australia.

Summary
Advanced Surface Imaging and Spectroscopy Facility. The aim of this proposal is to build a cooperative grouping of materials and surface science resources to facilitate world-class research on the nature and behaviour of chemical, semiconductor, environmental, biological and industrial materials. The new Facility will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure necessary for the participating groups to maintain their international reputations, will build stronger research collaborations between the ....Advanced Surface Imaging and Spectroscopy Facility. The aim of this proposal is to build a cooperative grouping of materials and surface science resources to facilitate world-class research on the nature and behaviour of chemical, semiconductor, environmental, biological and industrial materials. The new Facility will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure necessary for the participating groups to maintain their international reputations, will build stronger research collaborations between the partners, will attract researchers from overseas and will be used by a range of commercial clients. The theme of "surface characterisation" draws together a great diversity of projects being undertaken by the collaborating group comprising around 30 research groups and commercial entities.Read moreRead less
