Research:The acquisition of electron beam lithography with support from the NSF MRI program has dramatically enhanced research opportunities in four thrust areas ongoing at U.C. Irvine:(1) Wireless communications(2) Fiber optic communications(3) Biotechnology(4) Nanotechnology
Acquisition of An Electron-beam Lithography System for a Nanotechnology Research and Education Facility at U.C. IrvinePeter Burke, G.P. Li, Wilson Ho, A. P. Lee, R. Penner, U.C. Irvine DMR-0216635
Examples:Nano-magnetism Carbon MEMS
Madou group has continued to push economical carbon MEMS devices by pyrolizing photoresist. Recent work has shown electron-beam lithography patterned carbon MEMS structures can be fabricated with this technique
Lu group has investigated spin based transport in nanosystems extensively, as well as new materials for nanowires, including TCMQ and ZnO[10-17, 38, 39]. Lu has collaborated with U.C. Irvine optics expert Professor Henry Lee and U.C. Irvine chemist Professor Penner, as well as other faculty outside of U.C. Irvine. Lu is involved with an NSF Spintronics NIRT project.

All told in 1.5 years, over 20 graduate students and postdocs have accessed the machine directly; they come from 10 different faculty research groups. These students come from all walks of life, and include women and minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. As in most higher educational institutions in this country there is a mix of U.S. Citizens and foreign students. We have also developed, through the cleanroom, an outreach program for K-12 students. In the first year, that program targeted 20 students. In the second year, 50 school teachers were involved on campus.
The faculty supported by this instrument include 2 recent NSF Career awardees (Lu ’02, Collins ‘03), one ONR Young Investigator awardee (Burke ‘02), as well as established senior faculty.
