Facility Updates

New procedures are now in place to help keep everyone safe and to ensure gowns are available. All users must follow these steps for booking gowning area space and indicating locker usage.

The Raith VELION FIB-SEM tool has arrived at MIT.nano. VELION offers unique capabilities for advanced FIB nanofabrication while also allowing sample preparation, process control, and entry level e-beam lithography—all in one tool!

The ultimate social distancing during sample analysis.

MIT.nano staff held a user meeting on June 17, 2020 to provide updates on facility operations during COVID-19. The purpose of the meeting was to review procedures, timelines, and paths for getting back into the lab; and how those fit within the broader ramp-up logistics of MIT.

The new HMDS oven, for preparing samples prior to photoresist coating, has arrived at MIT.nano and, after we put it on a table, will be ready for installation later this summer.

We’re excited that today, June 15, we officially reopened MIT.nano for users in Buildings 12 and 39! As we continue to bring tools online this week, the first users are resuming their research in the fabs, such as the ALD in Fab-12 seen in this photo.

We've gathered some information help you understand how to apply for clearance to return to campus and how to enter MIT.nano and other buildings. 

The cleanroom gowns in Fab 12 are restocked and ready for MIT.nano's re-opening on Monday, June 15!

Thank you to MIT facilities for reprogramming the building 12 passenger elevator! The doors now remain open when the elevator is not in use.

After counting, sorting, and RFID scanning new cleanroom garments in Fab 12, staff are now ready to move the new garments for Fab 39.
