Nanofabrication facilities

Our shared nano-fabrication facilities include a class 100 cleanroom, an electron-beam lithography system based on the thermal-field-emitter SEM Sirion (FEI Company) equipped with an e-beam writing attachment (J C Nabity Lithography Systems), and three thin-film deposition systems for magnetron sputtering, thermal evaporation, and electron-gun deposition of thin films of metals and dielectrics. Other equipment available includes a reactive ion etcher, a scanning probe microscope, photomask aligner, optical microscope, and other equipment required for wafer and sample processing.
