Research Experience for Undergraduates in the Science of Microfabrication

康奈尔大学的国家纳米纤维设施（NNF） 是一个跨学科的中心，其主要作用是 为研究人员提供资源和技术专长， 微结构科学，特别是在先进的 光刻，纳米结构物理，扫描隧道显微镜 用于制造和分析，光电和电子 微加工在生物学中的应用，以及相关的 地区 NNF提供设备、培训和专业知识， 在“动手”环境中进行边缘研究， 负责进行这项研究。 该取向 独特. 为了发挥这一作用，NNF正在进行一项研究， 本科生的经验计划超过十周的时间。 在 在某些情况下，NNF设施只用于一个小的，但至关重要的， 是制造或实验的一部分。 大部分项目 没有NNF的资源是不可能的。 而且都要说明 NNF的吸引力是质量和开放的访问中央 先进的实验室资源，以及完成 以常规方式进行复杂或不寻常的微加工。

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.
