Silicon photonics

Device Credit: Dr Alvaro Casas Bedoya. First working silicon photonic structures fabricated in RPF. Optical transmission achieved through 0.5mm and 1cm Silicon nanowires.

Key capabilities: Lithography, Wet Processing, Metrology, Dry Etching

Microfluidics

Device Credit: Dr Lining (Arnold) Ju Master moulds of patterned micro-channels are fabricated from etched Silicon. This device is designed to stop debris in blood from clogging channels before they hit the stenosis. Key capabilities: Lithography, Wet Processing, Metrology, Dry Etching

Bringing molecular diagnostics to the market

ANFF-NSW has been working with a New South Wales startup, Kimiya, to fabricate its proof-of-concept lab-on-a-chip device that will eventually have the capability of rapidly detecting sequences of genetic code and transferring the information to a laptop or smartphone.
