Imagine a Mars that isn’t a deserted wasteland. Picture a patchwork of rivers crisscrossing the planet, perhaps emptying into a large freshwater lake. Or glaciers, flowing across the surface and carving channels into the rock. And now the big question: Did Mars ever have the environmental conditions to support life?

This talk will review Thin Film deposition capabilities by reviewing the various techniques and tools available to perform these processes in the NanoFab. These capabilities will range from sputtering, plasma enhance chemical vapor deposition, electron-beam, and atomic layer deposition of metallic and dielectric films. Specific examples of depositing optical coatings will be given by Jaime Quintero. In addition, the process development and testing of superconductor films will be described by Farzad Faramarzi.

Even in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, ASU Core Facilities remains dedicated to our customers and their important work. Core Facilities staff and researchers are engaged in a variety of projects that are directly supporting the fight against coronavirus.

Dr. Guida highlights the impact that access to multi-modal core facility resources has benefited his interdisciplinary research. This seminar is hosted by the Regenerative Medicine Imaging Facility which is part of the Advanced Light Microscopy Core within the Biosciences division. The RMIF provides a range of light microscope systems including various modalities such as fluorescent widefield, confocal, multiphoton, live cell and light sheet microscopy.

We are excited to announce the integration of Advanced Electronics and Photonics (AEP) to Arizona State University's Core Facilities! AEP offers comprehensive electronics capabilities that bridge the gap between innovation and product development by providing an information-secured solution to the risk and resource concerns commonly present in exploratory electronics projects. AEP houses a wide range of processing and metrology equipment commonly found in a thin film transistor FAB.
