Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B) Director Dr Nadia Court Visited Innofocus
Innofocus is pleased to receive Dr Nadia Court’s visit to our Nano Manufacturing Plant (NMP) in Melbourne in the morning and have an in-depth exchange of views on the nanofabrication technologies, R&D collaborations and industrial applications of miniature photonics devices, exploring effective ways to enrich and improve the semiconductors and photonics industry community and the future quantum technology ecosystem in Australia.
A number of deep innovation opportunities have been identified in the fabrication of high performance ultrafast FBG sensing devices, the fabrication of complex optical waveguide devices, the fabrication of photonics lantern (optical bridge) devices, and 3D in-situ refractive index characterisation and metrology that could better bring together Australian research and industry strengths.
Dr Nadia is the inaugural Director of the Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B). Until recently, Nadia was the Technical Director of Research and Prototype Foundry, the University of Sydney micro- and nano-fabrication facility and the Sydney Hub of the NSW Node of The Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF).
The S3B led by Dr Nadia has just successfully organised the inaugural Semiconductor Australia 2024 summit in Sydney, which brought together the government sectors, investors, research institutes, innovation leaders, advanced manufacturing companies, vertical application industries, technology media and other parties to collectively discuss and accelerate the development of a strategic approach and action plan for building semiconductor industry capacity suitable for Australia.
