Facility Updates

MIT.nano is looking to explore new feedback mechanisms for Fab.nano, both in bldg. 12 and 39. Every Wednesday evening (6-7pm), MIT.nano staff will host a 1-hour combination of “small comment session” and “social” hour.

The bulkhead work on the new HMDS oven has been completed, and next week the installation will be completed before starting up the system.

The UV-VIS and Fluorimeter are now available to MIT.nano users in NanoMat-U2 third floor cleanroom space.

To expand thin-film measurement capabilities available to its researchers, MIT.nano has acquired a Semilab SE-2000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometer. The instrument has been installed and qualified in the third-floor cleanroom in Building 12, and is now available for training and use.

The new spin coater just went live at MIT.nano. In this photo we’re setting up to film our first training videos, simultaneously from inside the hood and outside.

This update contains information about new user orientations, as well as training slots for wet chemical processing and emergency preparedness.

The new rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system cleared customs and has been delivered to MIT.nano.

The next MIT.nano user meeting will be Wednesday, August 26 from 2-3pm. Check your email for Zoom information.

Several MIT.nano users have requested the tool status for coaters and wet benches, as well as when they will go online. Most are available now! Details on these tools can be found in this update.

MIT.nano staff have started posting daily humidity values as comments on the TRL coater as of August 1. More detailed data-logger results are being sent via email that help highlight recent fluctuations.
