Facility Updates

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.

MIT.nano staff are setting up the new coaters in Fab 12 as we prepare for the facility ramp up following the COVID-19 shutdown.

MIT.nano staff are bringing tools back online as we preparing to ramp up the building following the COVID-19 shutdown.

As part of the facilities ramp-up, MIT.nano staff test the soft lithography spin coater.

As part of our new COVID-19 procedures, we moved up the table with the gowning gloves in the Fab 12 pre-gown area (it used to be where the big empty space is), so users can put on the vinyl gloves first.

The new MLA-150 in Fab 12 is awaiting the coater/developers to begin calibration runs and get it ready for users.

Routine maintenance tasks are being completed at MIT.nano before the lab ramp-up, including replacing sensors in the gas monitoring system.

In preparation of the phase 2 tool move from Building 39 to Building 12 that is starting later this fall, staff and contractors are conducting a site survey of utilities.
