We seek the acquisition of a thin film deposition system to support different major research activities in the field of surface science and materials engineering taking place at University of Montreal and Ecole Polytechnique. The researchers involved in this proposal have a long history of collaboration and a solid track record of scientific contributions in the areas of biosensing, bioanalytics, multifunctional coatings and biomaterials. An important part of our research, independently of its specific application, involves the fabrication of functional metallic surfaces with well controlled optical properties. This can only be achieved with a high quality deposition system specially customized to fabricate complex multicomponent films able to cover the whole spectrum of research activities lead by the different PIs gathered in this proposal. These research activities include the development of functional substrates and materials for super-lubrication and super-antifouling, the development of responsive nanofilms for next generation smart devices and responsive microfluidic devices, the fabrication of biofunctional surfaces for next generation medical devices, and finally the design and fabrication of plasmonic sensors for enhanced multifunctional imaging.***The acquisition of the proposed deposition system will not only facilitate access to the technique, it will enable the development and rapid testing of new substrates combining several elements and deposition patterns/structures. This is absolutely crucial for the future of our research program. **

我们寻求收购薄膜沉积系统，以支持蒙特利尔大学和巴黎综合理工学院在表面科学和材料工程领域的各种主要研究活动。 参与这项提案的研究人员在生物传感、生物分析、多功能涂层和生物材料领域有着悠久的合作历史和坚实的科学贡献记录。我们的研究的一个重要部分，独立于其具体应用，涉及制造功能金属表面具有良好的控制光学性能。这只能通过专门定制的高质量沉积系统来实现，以制造复杂的多组分薄膜，能够覆盖由本提案中收集的不同PI领导的整个研究活动范围。这些研究活动包括开发用于超润滑和超润滑的功能性基底和材料，开发用于下一代智能设备和响应微流体设备的响应纳米膜，制造用于下一代医疗设备的生物功能表面，以及最终设计和制造用于增强多功能成像的等离子体传感器。收购拟议的沉积系统不仅将促进获得该技术，它将使新的基板结合几个元素和沉积图案/结构的开发和快速测试。这对我们研究计划的未来至关重要。**
