    Sungwoo Sohn, PhD

    Associate Director of Facilities
  3. Instrument/equipment

    Iridium sputtering tool

    Iridium is useful for coating samples before electron microscopy.

    Located within Yale Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering (YINQE)

    Sungwoo Sohn, PhD

    Associate Director of Facilities
  4. 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 at Wright Lab

    James A. Nikkel, PhD

  5. Instrument/equipment

    Lithography

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

    Located within Yale University Cleanroom

    Yong Sun

    Director
  6. 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.
