Facility Updates

A glow discharger is now available in the BioPrep space and a plasma cleaner for TEM sample prep is being colocated with the Themis Z Materials S/TEM.

The new MLA-150, a direct-write laser system that can expose UV sensitive photoresist on wafers or masks, has arrived at MIT.nano and we unpacked it today! See the whole process in this nine-image photo story.

The new MLA-150 for MIT.nano's cleanroom has arrived by air freight. Installation will be in progress throughout the month of January. The tool will be located on the first floor.

Three undergraduate students in course 3.155J/6.152J went on one of the in-depth small tours of MIT.nano, exploring the infrastructure to see what makes the lab run.

MIT undergraduates package solar cells using the LEAP electronic and photonic packaging tools.

MIT undergraduates from the 3.155/6.152 micro/nano processing technology course are using the LEAP packaging equipment on the fifth floor of MIT.nano.

The first tests of the fluidic device designed and fabricated by 6.152J students on the new fluidic test station that was installed yesterday in the soft litho cleanroom at MIT.nano.

The 6.152J class is using the PDMS coring device to prepare their microfluidic device inlets.

The new CorSolutions microfluidic test station has been set up inside the soft lithography cleanroom at MIT.nano. A set of two pneumatic and two peristaltic channels allow users to drive up to four inlets with precise pressure control and flows in the micro-liters per minute.
