>> It's a pleasure to welcome you to scenic technical web Nazi research. Today we have Dr Michael Thomas who is our senior prom engineer at the Institute for like comics and how technology dropped it was about the edge and capabilities at the Institute for instance on a continent of acknowledging as maybe.

[00:00:20]
The technical Simon arse hosted by scenic scenic. Dance Floor southeastern nanotechnology infrastructure corridor or seeing its original research results so. It's a partnership between 2 academic centers one is George Jack and Steve but I like Don it's a matter technology that's out and our corners joined school of nanoscience allow engineering which is an academic collaboration between us you have not heard of Greensboro and locker in the university so what what we do why your partner our go for partner partnership in this program seeming to open up our capabilities doff campus researchers both from academia as well listen the street in some cases some god organizations may be able to come through our facility and access the dozers after necessary training.

[00:01:15]
Which means that scenic is not only for internal Georgia Tech and jazz and then students or users but it's also open for off campus and searchers to the funding comes from the National Science Foundation under a program called national nanotechnology corner infrastructure's which is one of these it has like 16 signs that does the same thing and just seen this one among the 16 and n.c.i. sites and so our goal is to provide easy use of access to a wide Very be of conference of micro manage.

[00:01:48]
And process capabilities as well and one thing we do alongside with that is to offer the staff expertise to researchers and on micro technology. Why very nice of resources are available still service cynic presently is estimated to be value I don't do $100,000,000.00 for most part be offered and I know micro fabrication capabilities around say but Advanced Materials got a position facilities as well there are other capabilities such as laser my commissioning computational modeling tools of literature not of biology an oddity chemistry and regular testing a number of these external users can access as one list they can come to our facility and use the tools on site which is on site that number 2 has a remote access where users have the opportunity to send the samples for analysis and processing and we have staff members saying staff members will be able to assist them with processing and analyzing the samples and send the results back to them there are other.

[00:02:50]
Useful programs such as short courses like training models we haven't liked a fabrication as well let's start with a graphical microfluidics this is illegalised grand that's offered. To extreme low academic researchers in the southeastern rugged states that offers about $1000.00 worth of our staff experts time to analyze your samples.

[00:03:14]
Those are some very useful programs at the Presently we also currently because we are closed in person access we offer what your users support so users are. Most welcome to access these are present in these so we have done this very well series we have done so far by presentations and today is the 6th month in the final one in our cities one and that will be present of a Dr MacDaniels on hedging.

[00:03:48]
And moving forward we also have. You know we have plans for to continue this in our June. Month of June as go as well and so feel free to sign up for that that is our. You know the joint cities that course most. Regulars characterization tool sets as you can see join for we have exceeded traction for the analysis of Ben from buying David to talk only and then we are blind of for the rest of the week so it's all these technical seminars are scheduled for Thursday Sept 11th so you're most welcome if you're already registered for one of these events you'll get e-mail a reminder a day before the event if you have not been free to sign about the link that's mentioned below and really our speakers are.

[00:04:44]
Dr Michael Douglas he is. Our senior process engineer and he's been here at Tech particularly in strip on the comics and the technology supporting several uses for many years he has also finished his bachelor's masters and p.h.d. in elegant covering to nearing had the George back so he's been here for so long and so he's been extensively supporting our internal and external users for many years and today he'll talk about.

[00:05:19]
The age processing capabilities have been stripped for comics and 100 miles I'll hand over this to make of the. Thank you Paul for that introduction. Actually I don't want to think about how long or short text is it's been a really really long time but it's mostly been good so today as Paul said I'm going to be talking about class machine I'm going to I'm presentation is going to talk about some of the basics of cosmetics and then at the end we're going to kind of review all.

[00:05:52]
Options that we have Georgia Tech who are actually in your samples. So brief outline of my talks as I said talk about the basics of and Cian concepts violin to the class Messiah things and then requirements for it successful and we're kind of going to review some common processing problems that people run into when they're actually doing as unicycle last and things that we can do to try to avoid them and then as I said talk about the different x. tools in the clean room are each of our i.c.p. tools and then are non fossil fuels as well.

[00:06:33]
So dry actually does have many advantages and disadvantages and mostly we're talking about energy it's going to be as in comparison to different techniques that we can do so or 1st Minister we have is going to be we don't really have much of a foot or resistance he's a problem and this is more in comparison with what actually because of the nature of dry edges which are generally going to be and I asked her a bit compared to when issues with her eyes are true it doesn't really kind of move underneath your photo resisting cost 11 nation the foot or is this layer we see that a lot with wet edges especially if they're very aggressive but you can actually end up the un meeting your masking lawyer and reasons that you don't want to so we don't really see a lot of that because of the nature of the process as I said it's generally going to be an isotropic Now obviously this rule is not written in stone I could definitely point to dry edges that are isotropic in nature but one of the benefits of doing a drug is I can't get that you know it's true and kind of get that vertical sidewall that I'm trying to achieve the next one is more of an issue that you may not think about as a user but as someone who actually is responsible for buy and supplies something that you have to be concerned about and that's going to be the chemical consumption so for you we know when actually we're going to use far more chemical that we will process in the gas that we use so our gasoline or less we're much longer time we have to replace that far less often and we start talking about the waste that's going to be generated through that process again it's a smaller amount of waste that we have to deal with each time that we're running a process compared to what we're seeing with the side and then something that if you're doing research lol especially grad school students never going to think about it's going to be suitable for automation these tools.

[00:08:32]
We can set up on a track system and this roadway 1st in and out of them so we can actually process large batches away for his time so if I start worrying about moving from research concerns into a horror manufacturing that automation is going to be something that's really important because I can start to build this at a larger scale that what I'm working with just from the research side but kind of coming out of that we walk right into some of the disadvantages and the 1st being we need complex equipment for this special we're talking about just doing it when it 1st he drives or when it's I essentially mean the glass jar and my chemical or whatever my container is to be glass and that's all I really need now you can get far more complicated what it is in there meet.
