Materials one atom thick & nanotransistors: FLEET features in nano edition

FLEET features in this month’s annual ‘nano’ edition of the Australian Manufacturing Tech magazine.

The article looks at growth of atomically thin and other novel materials and nanofabrication, with a particular focus on partnerships.

Atomically thin material projects presented include semiconductor fabrication at RMIT University (Lan Wang) and the University of Wollongong (Xiaoliang Wang) and molecular beam epitaxy (Mark Edmonds and Michael Fuhrer) at Monash University  and, at UNSW, nanoscale semiconductor patterning (Alex Hamilton, Oleg Sushkov, Oleh Klochan) and TI growth at the interface between oxides (Nagy Valanoor and Jan Siedel).

There is a focus on FLEET’s partnership with the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) and the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN), the open-access research and development facility where FLEET’s Qiaoliang Bao fabricates nanometre-scale structures using techniques such as electron beam lithography.

As well as informing the manufacturing industry about some of the impressive nanoscale facilities available, the article was a valuable opportunity to tell the story of FLEET research to a technical audience outside of the immediate field. Any feedback on the article is very welcome!

The article appears in Australian Manufacturers Technology’s annual nano edition of their magazine. Please feel free to share it with your colleagues. Web version here.
