4:30 pm in the AllenX Auditorium

4:15-4:30 - Pizza (in or near the courtyard)

4:30-4:50 – “AGILE:  Axially Graded Index Lens.”  Nina Vaidya. 

Fabrication of thin film graded index lenses to concentrate light on solar cells.

4:50-5:10 –"Deposition of metal and dielectric films in the Intlvac sputtering system."  Vijay Parameshwaran . 

This project will describe the calibration and development of the Intlvac sputtering system for three materials: titanium, silicon dioxide, and tungsten.  Additionally, the integration of these new tools within the SNF will be presented.

5:10-5:30 – "Investigation of process for Metal Nitride films using ALD."  Suhas Kumar and Adair Gerke.

We investigate the process for deposition of metal nitride films (TiN, HfN) using the Savannah ALD system. We characterize the films to find the cause of many issues nitride films have had with the Savannah in the past.

5:30-5:50 – “Mix-and-match: e-beam and optical lithography for optical waveguides and gratings.”  Chia-Ming Chang.

The fabrication of optical waveguides and gratings by using JEOL e-beam and ASML.

5:50-6:10 – “Corrosion-Resistant ALD Coatings.”  Joey Doll and Alexandre Haemmerli
