Specific capabilities: chemo and bio manipulation of nanostructures (including lithography); packing of components into functional devices; and rapid prototyping to design and build devices.
The Victorian node of the ANFF will provide researchers with access to a broad range of cross-disciplinary fabrication and integration capabilities comprising a full research product value chain and service compatible with best international practise.
The node is run by a consortium consisting of: Monash University, The University of Melbourne, Deakin University, LaTrobe University, Swinburne University, CSIRO and the Victorian Government. RMIT is an associate member of the node. The ANFF headquarters are also based at the node.
Establishment of the node involves two components:
- access to existing nano-fabrication research infrastructure at each participating research institution
- construction of a new purpose-built facility known as the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication, adjacent to the Monash University campus at Clayton, Victoria.
Activities will be undertaken at participating institutions and at the new central facility to provide a complete process stream from design through to proof of concept.
