About the core
The wet bay has three process hoods for acid, base, and resist applications. They are equipped with standard utilities, integrated spin-coaters, hotplates, and sonicators.
The dry bay houses analysis instrumentation and photolithography tools, including a high-resolution UV mask aligner and a non-contact optical profiler. The gowning area includes storage room for individual research groups.
In 2020, the cleanroom installed a new electron beam evaporator and reactive ion etcher.
