It has been a few years since we've updated material rates, and precious metals prices have changed notably since. MIT.nano users should check their email for the weekly digest containing the new rates for evaporators. This is effective August 1st.
Tool use rates themselves are lowered, while precious metal rates are updated to reflect recent purchase prices of metals. We hope this will make it fair for all users, and across the different tools.
Please be accurate in your reporting in CORAL. We will check CORAL entries for accuracy, roughly every quarter. Errors will be corrected retroactively (as staff-assisted runs). Runs beyond normal durations (varies by tool) will incur an hourly charge. Please don’t forget to disengage the evaporators after you unload.
