Listing of research core items

  1. Instrument/equipment

    Laser cutting

    Our medium-power laser cutter can be best thought of as a computer-controlled bandsaw. Like the abrasive water jet, it is largely used to cut through flat material stock. It can also be used to etch various materials.

    Located within Advanced Prototyping Center (APC) at Wright Lab

    Craig Miller

  2. Instrument/equipment

    Lithography

    The cleanroom offers tools that provide a comprehensive solution for photolithography.

    Located within Yale University Cleanroom

    Yong Sun

    Director
  3. Core/facility

    Mechanical and Thermal Analysis Instrumentation Core (MTAIC)

    The core provides mechanical and thermal properties characterization of materials and devices, housing a range of instruments, including thermal analyzers and rheometers.  Trainings are required in order to use MTAIC equipment.

    SC208 carbon coater

    SC208 Carbon evaporation coater

    The 208C High Vacuum Turbo Carbon Coater from Cressington offers high quality carbon coating techniques for TEM, STEM, SEM, EDS/WDS, EBSD and microprobe applications. The practical chamber size of 150mm diameter allows for rapid pump down and coating cycle times of around 10 minutes (4e-5 mbar). The use of ultra purity carbon rods in a high vacuum chamber gives the high quality coating needed for critical TEM, EBSD, high resolution SEM and microprobe work.
