Connaught Summer Institute in Nanofabrication

Dear colleagues,

Would you please distribute to faculty members, postdocs, graduate students and other interested members of your community?

Connaught Summer Institute in Nanofabrication University of Toronto – June 3-11, 2011

* Nanoimprint Lithography * Optical Lithography * Electron Beam Lithography * Quantum Dots and Solution Processing * Photonic Crystals and Photonic Nanowires * Nanoplasmonics *

The Connaught Summer Institute in Nanofabrication will bring together Canadian and international experts in a variety of areas related to nanofabrication techniques for the production of nano-devices for a wide range of technological and research applications. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from internationally-renowned academic and industry experts, gain hands-on experience with the nanofabrication facilities available in the ECTI open research facilities, and present a poster on their research.

Confirmed speakers to date include:
• Pierre Berini, University of Ottawa
• Steve Brueck, University of New Mexico Center for High Technology
Materials
• Stephen Chou, Princeton University
• Richard De La Rue, University of Glasgow
• Peter Grütter, McGill University

The cleanroom lab training sessions will offer broad-based knowledge and hands-on skills on several micro- and nanofabrication technologies that are applicable in a wide range of research and technological fields. Participants will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art tools. Short lectures and laboratory modules will cover:
• Cleanroom technologies and safety
• Optical- and electron-beam nanolithography
• Thin film deposition
• Plasma etching
• Micro- and nano-metrology

Registration will be available shortly, but for now you can add your name to the mailing list to receive updates about the summer institute: contact ecti@utoronto.ca.
