About this event
- Event lasts 4 hours 30 minutes
Spectra Research Corporation (SRC) in collaboration with Heidelberg Instruments invites you to an exclusive seminar and hands-on workshop focused on cutting-edge nanofabrication techniques and characterization methods for advanced nano and 2D material devices. Join industry-leading experts and researchers at McGill University to explore next-generation NanoFrazor capabilities and advanced AFM characterization methods.
Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Nicholas Hendricks
Innovation Manager, Heidelberg Instruments Nano, Zürich, Switzerland
Dr. Nicholas specializes in next-generation nanolithography, with extensive experience in polymer science and advanced fabrication techniques. His expertise includes direct-write lithography methods for nanoelectronics, photonics, molecular sensing, and quantum computing applications.
Talk Highlights:
- Overview of Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (t-SPL) with Heidelberg’s NanoFrazor for precise fabrication of nano and 2D material devices
- Benefits of NanoFrazor for direct-write nanolithography without charged particle damage
- Application examples including nanowires, quantum devices, and 2D material electronics
- Latest advancements: parallelized large-area patterning and automated nanofabrication
Sean Chen
Master’s Student, Department of Physics, McGill University
Working under Prof. Peter Grutter, Sean focuses on electrical properties of two-dimensional materials and optoelectronic devices, employing atomic force microscopy techniques such as Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy to study persistent photoconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides.
Talk Highlights:
- Understanding persistent photoconductivity in WS₂ flakes using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
- Time-resolved studies of surface potential and photocurrent
- Investigations on the effects of illumination intensity, wavelength, doping, and flake thickness
