MicroDevice Laboratory

The following pieces of equipment will be available within the facility: 

A complete lithography system including Mask Aligner (Karl Suss MA6), Nanoimprintor (Nanonex), Spin Coater/Drier (Headway Research), Solvent Bench (Clean Air Products), Wet Etch Bench (Clean Air Products), Laminar Hood, Hotplate System (Alpha Multiservices), Ovens (Alpha Multiservices), and Surface treatment (O2 plasma) are available.

For characterization, Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM, FEI), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM, Pacific Nanotechnology), and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS, Brucker Nanostar) are also available.

For deposition, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD, Denton Vacuum), Thermal Evaporator (Ladd Research), Sputter Coater (Pelco), and Molecular Vapor Deposition (Applied MST) are installed. In addition, Deep Reactive Ion Etcher (DRIE, BMRTek), XeF2 Etcher (Xactix), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher (ICP, BMRTek) are available along with other testing equipment such as Microscope (Nikon) and Probe Station (Signatone).
