The European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (euspen) will meet in Dublin next week! We are happy to join this year’s Official euspen conference and invite you to attend our talk on June 11 by Dr.-Ing. Tillmann Volz. He will present a technology demonstrator of our lever-actuated direct drive hexapods, which will offer superior performance in terms of reliability and dynamics compared to available compact spindle-driven hexapods: a system in which the rotational motion of a motor shaft is directly translated into a circular footpoint motion of six constant length struts with five degrees of freedom using a lever arm attached to the shaft. And in the poster sessions on June 12 and 13, our colleague Marvin Hakvoort will explain how to improve the closed-loop bandwidth, steady-state tracking performance, and disturbance rejection capabilities of piezo actuators using active damping and nonlinear control methods like reset control.  We can’t wait to hear about your latest advances in precision engineering, micro-engineering, and nanotechnology! #nanotechnology #precision #microengineering #euspen2024

We are pleased to share with you our recent paper related to photosensing in group IV Silicon-Germanium nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrices available at https://lnkd.in/dPUcEmTB. By embedding SiGe nanocrystals in different dielectric matrices, the study achieved photosensitivity up to 1.8 μm at room temperature, surpassing traditional materials like germanium. This research explores the link between photodetection properties and the crystalline structure, morphology, and energy bandgap of SiGe nanocrystals. This breakthrough could lead to the development of high-performance optical sensors, photodetectors, and other technologies that are easier to integrate into existing silicon-based systems.

Today, I had the opportunity to attend the Chip Zero Eco-System Seminar, an insightful program that brought together experts and researchers to discuss the future of sustainable practices in the semiconductor industry. The event featured inspiring presentations, including innovative projects from organizations like Aalto University, VTT, & Applied Materials, showcasing the latest advancements in eco-friendly semiconductor technologies. I am excited about the upcoming phase of my research as a research assistant in the #CHEMISEMI project at Aalto University, where I will be conducting ALD fabrication of SiO₂ thin films using tris(diethylamino)silane (TDEAS), which was synthesized and characterized during my Master's thesis. I look forward to uncovering the results and gaining deeper insights into the potential of TDEAS for enabling efficient and sustainable SiO₂ thin-film deposition. Today is particularly special as it marks the 50th anniversary of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), a transformative technique that has revolutionized thin-film technology since its inception. It’s inspiring to see how this technology continues to evolve, driving sustainable innovations in our field. Attending this seminar provided valuable insights into the collaborative efforts shaping our industry’s future and reaffirmed the importance of sustainable innovation in research and development. #AaltoUniversity #businessfinland #appliedmaterials #picosun #vtt #volatecoy #Semiconductors #Sustainability #ALD50Years #chipzero #Innovation

Shuailong Zhang and Mohamed Elsayed from the Prof. Aaron Wheeler's lab at the University of Toronto have utilized Mightex’s #Polygon1000 to examine how light pattern thickness affects the control of dielectric microparticles through optoelectronic tweezers (OET). Their study found that by adjusting the thickness of light patterns, the movement of microparticles can be significantly influenced. Thicker light patterns were shown to increase the force on particles, although beyond a certain point, this effect tapers off. This research underscores the adaptability of OET technology for various applications, including bio-analyte manipulation and microrobotics. The Mightex #Polygon1000 remains an essential tool for advancing these studies. 👉 Explore the full study here: https://lnkd.in/djEqeeHD 📅 Join us at #MicroTAS 2024 in Montreal from October 13-17.
