Birck Nanotechnology Center

Birck Nanotechnology Center Overview:
The Birck Nanotechnology Center opened in July of 2005. The heart of the building is a 25,000 sq. ft. The building also includes over 22,000 sq.

The BNC leverages advances in nanoscale science and engineering to create innovative nanotechnologies addressing societal challenges and opportunities in computing, communications, the environment, security, energy independence, and health. This facility comprises 186,000 square feet, providing office space for 45 faculty, 21 clerical and technical staff, and up to 180 graduate students. Class 1-10-100 nanofabrication cleanroom (Scifres Nanofabrication Laboratory), part of which is configured as a biomolecular cleanroom with separate entry and gowning areas and isolated air flow. of laboratory space external to the cleanroom, including special low vibration rooms for nanostructures research, with temperature control to less than 0.1 °C. Other laboratories are specialized for nanophotonics, crystal growth, bio-nanotechnology, molecular electronics, MEMS and NEMS, surface analysis, SEM/TEM, electrical characterization, RF systems, instruction and training, and precision micro-machining and the Hall Nanometrology Laboratory. In addition, a unique nanotechnology incubator facility is provided for interaction with industry. Equipment:
The entire set of resources provided by this 186,000 square foot facility are designed to support collaborative interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology. Operations:
One of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world, the BNC facility is designed to support multidisciplinary research in nanotechnology and to foster interaction between researchers and research disciplines.

Research at Purdue invites those on campus to attend an open house at the Birck Nanotechnology Center on January 31 from 2-4 p.m.

The event will focus on upgrades to the facility and plans for the future, which reflect Purdue University's commitment to providing its students and faculty with state-of-the-art research infrastructure.

Topics covered during the information session will include the U.S. Chips Act, quantum initiatives and potential translational research opportunities and a vision for engaging with semiconductor companies and start-ups under CHIPS Act R&D programs while supporting broader, more fundamental research.

Speakers will include Zhihong Chen, Director of the Birck Nanotechnology Center, and Mark Lundstrom, Chief Semiconductor Officer at Purdue (and founding director of nanoHUB!) among others.

MSE Assistant Professor, Rahim Rahimi has created a process that immobilizes silver onto the implant surfaces of titanium orthopedic devices to improve antibacterial properties and cellular integration. This can help reduce infection when medical devices are implanted into people. bit.ly/Rahimi-Silver

What is nanotechnology?

We’d like to help answer that question for by sharing our series on nanoHUB, Introductory Seminars on “What is Nanotechnology?”

Since a nanometer is 10-9 meters, October 9th, or 10-09, is the perfect day to celebrate.
