[BNC-grads-list] Lab Open House: Friday, 12:45 pm, outside of clean room

[Laura Biedermann]

Hello,

NSAC, the Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council, is hosting a lab  
open house on Friday, Oct. 21st, from 12:45 - 1:00 pm.  Lab Open House  
is a way to learn what goes on in all those labs and clean room bays  
you walk by everyday.

Please meet at the top of the main stairway, outside of the entrance  
of the clean room.  The tour will be on the outside of the clean room  
- no clean room access or special clothing is needed.

This week's tour will feature the new Panasonic Inductively Coupled  
Plasma (ICP) Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) tool, which can be used  
to etch titanium, silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and other  
materials.  Grad students Patrick McCarthy, Hugo Aguilar, and Cara  
Smith will show devices such as heart stents which they have made  
using this tool

Thanks,

NSAC
