FACILITIES

Our lab (B308) houses the following:

    Processing facilities: include nanotube chemical vapor growth oven, fume hood, optical microscopes, and electrical probestation.

    Atomic force microscope: DI Dimension 3100, which allows linear, drift-free tip positioning.To use it, contact Jiang Wei.

    Cryostat: He-4 and He-3 inserts and an 18 T superconducting magnet dewar.

    Optical microscopes

    Wire bonder:  Westbond 545657E-79 wedge/ball bonder.
This is a shared facility - to use it please contact Zenghui Wang.

    Low-noise electronics

    Vacuum/microprobe chamber with -40 to +80 C operation

    Zeiss Axio optical microscope with 3.4 mm WD at 100x

We also use these other resources at UW:

- FEI Syrion SEM in the Nanotechnology Center, for electron-beam imaging and lithography

- Thermal evaporators in Chemistry
- Electron-beam evaporator in Physics, for evaporation of metals and insulators

- Optical lithography and etching in the microfabrication lab in EE
- Laser micromachining tool in EE
- Pocessing facilities available at WTC

- Sputterer for metals such as platinum in MSE
