Research Experience for Undergraduates in the Science of Microfabrication

康奈尔大学的国家纳米制造设施（NNF）是一个跨学科中心，其主要作用是为微结构科学的研究人员提供资源和技术专长，特别是在先进光刻、纳米结构物理、扫描隧道显微镜的制造和分析、光电和电子应用等领域。微加工在生物及相关领域的应用。NNF在“动手”的环境中为前沿研究提供设备、培训和专业知识，用户对该研究的实施负责。这个方向是独一无二的。为了保持这一角色，NNF正在开展为期十周的本科生研究经验项目。在某些情况下，NNF设施仅用于制造或实验的一小部分，但至关重要。如果没有NNF资源，大多数项目是不可能实现的。在所有情况下，NNF的吸引力在于其质量和对中央先进实验室资源的开放获取，以及以常规方式完成复杂或不寻常的微加工的能力。

The National Nanofabrication Facility (NNF) at Cornell University is an interdisciplinary center, the primary role of which is to provide resources and technical expertise to researchers in microstructures science, particularly in the areas of advanced lithographies, nanostructure physics, scanning tunneling microscopy for fabrication and analysis, optoelectronic and electronic applications, microfabrication applications to biology, and related areas. NNF provides equipment, training, and expertise to leading edge research in a "hands-on" environment where the user is responsible for the conduct of that research. This orientation is unique. In keeping with this role, NNF is conducting a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program over a ten week period. In some cases, NNF facilities are used for only a small, but crucial, part of the fabrication or experimentation. Most of the projects would not be possible without NNF resources. In all cases, the attraction of NNF is the quality and open access to central advanced laboratory resources, and the ability to accomplish complex or unusual microfabrication in a routine way.
