We are pleased to announce that QMI’s Advanced Nanofabrication Facility (ANF) has just officially launched its Nanofab Accelerator Program in partnership with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). The program will provide eligible SMEs (small or medium-sized businesses) with specialized nanofabrication services, including but not limited to, maskless photolithography, 100kV […]

Amirhossein Omidvar, Carlos D Gerardo, Robert Rohling, Edmond Cretu, Antony J Hodgson Conventional ultrasound (US) probes are rigid. The rigidity has several drawbacks including acoustic energy loss and artifacts (due to interface mismatch between skin and probe), patient discomfort, limited field of view, and operator dependency. Many of these problems could potentially be addressed […]

Renovated Cleanroom The facility’s cleanroom is contained within Labs 446 in Brimacombe’s AMPEL wing, and the available floor area is obviously limited by the overall room footprint. In the old configuration, a considerable part of this area was taken by so-called gray space, housing, among other things, vacuum systems, process gases, and other support infrastructure. […]

SBQMI has invested heavily on acquiring a state-of-the-art electron-beam lithography tool that enables device fabrication at the nanoscale, where quantum properties of materials manifest themselves. An intense, well formed and focused beam of electrons, scanned by precision electronics and driven by computer design data, can directly write features of a few nanometers in size on […]

X. Yu, Y. Xiang, J. Berggren, T. Zabel, M. Hammar, N.Akram, W. Shi and L. Chrostowski We demonstrate the first room-temperature operation of a transistor vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (T-VCSEL). Fabricated using an epitaxial regrowth process, the T-VCSEL is electrically a Pnp-type bipolar junction transistor and consists of an undoped AlGaAs/GaAs bottom DBR, an InGaAs triple-quantum-well […]
