Thin (5 nm) Au layer TEM imaging on 1148 NPN/npMgF2
Intro Understanding how the Au film coats the inner part of the npMgF2 is essential to understanding how the photonic properties of the npAu/npMgF2 sensor arise. From SEM, we are able to resolve little cones of Au, but unable to see how rough/homogeneous/open the Au layer is. Our hypothesis is that these little cones of…
Cleaning MgF2 Nanomembranes after International Shipping
I had previously manufactured some freestanding MgF2 nanomembranes (50 nm MgF2, starting from Wafer Template 1174) for my work here in Nottingham. I shipped about 75 chips at the beginning of July in my 3d printed holders, however, they arrived with a noticeable film discoloration (tending to blue/tan, rather than the nice purple color I had…
Air Permeability (w187,189, 302, 304, 310)
Below are results for air permeability tests I took on wafers w302, w304, w187, w189, w310. The X axis is the position of a sample on the wafer (from inside to outside).Samples form wafer 189 passed no air and the permeability of wafer 187 is extremely low.Permeability of other wafers increases closer to the outer…
Wafer Testing: W520, 558, 559
I recently received three pinhole-ridden wafers for cell-related experiments. All three have been RTPed at 800C for 5 minutes in argon, which is the typical procedure we have been using for cell culture. The bursts pressures for each wafer are shown below. W520 is weaker than 558 and 559; I plan on using the stronger…
Particle Capture on Pores
ByKileanLast summer, Tejas and I spent a few days beating our heads against the wall because I was trying to develop a mathematical model of particle capture. Specifically, I was trying to understand what amount of transmembrane pressure we would need to hold a particle on (or in, as we are a politically correct, non-discrimination…
