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

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.

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

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

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.

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