9512396 Kash A shared equipment facility will be established in support of research programs in optical materials and devices. There are five major components to the facility: an ultraviolet photolithography laboratory; a device processing laboratory consisting of a reactive ion etcher, thermal evaporator, and sputtering system; a materials preparation section with tools for sawing and polishing; a display cell fabrication laboratory; and a device and materials characterization laboratory for electrical and thermal measurements. Three core programs in optical materials share the infrastructure needs and research interests. One program will use the facility for fabrication and electrical characterization of semiconductor structures of reduced dimensionality with applications in linear and nonlinear optics. A second program studies organic and polymeric nonlinear optical materials, and requires the facility for characterization of the glass transition in optical polymers as well as for fabrication of devices and substrates. A third program emphasizes optical studies of liquid crystals and complex fluids, and requires the display fabrication and characterization facilities. The instrumentation will be housed in central facilities and will be available to other researchers both on-campus and at collaborating institutions. %%% The shared equipment facility will benefit three major programs which form the core of an optical materials concentration within the department. These programs, studying semiconductor materials of reduced dimensionality, liquid crystals, and polymeric materials, encompass materials with important applications in linear and nonlinear optical devices. ***

9512396 Kash 将建立一个共享设备设施，以支持光学材料和器件的研究项目。该设施有五个主要组成部分： 紫外光刻实验室；器件加工实验室，由反应离子蚀刻机、热蒸发器和溅射系统组成；带有锯切和抛光工具的材料准备部分；显示单元制造实验室；以及用于电气和热测量的设备和材料表征实验室。光学材料领域的三个核心项目具有共同的基础设施需求和研究兴趣。一项计划将使用该设施来制造降维半导体结构并对其进行电气表征，并应用于线性和非线性光学。第二个项目研究有机和聚合物非线性光学材料，并需要用于表征光学聚合物中的玻璃化转变以及制造器件和基板的设施。第三个项目强调液晶和复杂流体的光学研究，并需要显示器制造和表征设施。这些仪器将安装在中央设施中，可供校园内和合作机构的其他研究人员使用。 %%% 共享设备设施将有利于构成部门内光学材料集中核心的三个主要项目。这些项目研究降维半导体材料、液晶和聚合物材料，涵盖在线性和非线性光学器件中具有重要应用的材料。 ***
