Shared Facilities :: Coatings/Film Fabrication

Vacuum deposition system @ Stanford/ IBM ARC/ UC Davis/ UC Berkeley

An Edwards vacuum deposition system with RF sputtering capability is located in Stauffer III. This system is most often used for thermal evaporation of gold coatings, but is available for other uses as well.

Hudson Mesoscale Processing Facility @ Cornell University

| Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | Materials Processing/ Preparation | Spectroscopy | Polymer Synthesis/ Characterization | Thermal/ Mechanical Analysis | Mechanical Testing | Polymer Processing |

Material specimens of dimensions in the range of 1nm to 5μm are essential for successful studies on structure, property, and functions of many materials and biological systems. The Hudson Mesoscale Processing Facility provides instrumentation and technical services to enable and promote scientific research in materials at small dimensions. The facility serves a broad cross-section of […]

Polymer Characterization Facility @ Cornell University

| Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | Materials Processing/ Preparation | Spectroscopy | Polymer Synthesis/ Characterization | Thermal/ Mechanical Analysis | Mechanical Testing | Polymer Processing |

Equipment for evaluating all the important characteristics of polymeric materials is available at the Polymer Characterization Facility.
The laboratory is used extensively by the polymer research community, particularly members of CCMR’s Interdisciplinary Research Groups and Seed projects, by the Polymers Community at Cornell and industrial members of Cornell’s Polymer Outreach Program (POP). The facility participates in […]

Materials Facilities @ Cornell University

| Surface Preparation/ Characterization | Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | Materials Processing/ Preparation | Spectroscopy | Optical Microscopy | Scanning Probe Microscopy | Thermal/ Mechanical Analysis | CVD | Mechanical Testing | Ceramics | Polymer Processing |

The Materials Facility is a multi-function and multi-purpose Research Support Facility providing a wide spectrum of services and apparatus for materials testing, preparation, and characterization.
It is the philosophy of the facility to have close interaction between staff and users. Hands-on involvement of students is stressed at the expense of wear and tear on the equipment […]

Keck Laboratory for Combinatorial Nanosynthesis and Multiscale Characterization @ University of Maryland

| Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | MBE | Pulsed Laser Deposition |

This powerful new facility was established under the support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. Combinatorial laser molecular MBE in the Keck Laboratory is used to make thin films of complex magnetic oxides. Materials are synthesized by atomic layer-by-layer deposition processes. The RHEED (reflection of high energy electron diffraction) oscillation is used to monitor the […]

Materials Preparation Laboratory @ University of Chicago

Electron Microscopy | Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | Materials Processing/ Preparation | Microfabrication / Microelectronics / Clean Room | Optical Microscopy | Scanning Probe Microscopy |

The Materials Preparation Laboratory provides facilities for sample fabrication, processing, patterning and characterization. In response to demands in nanofabrication and synthesis, we have more tightly coupled sample fabrication and characterization by incorporating the previously separate Spectroscopic Facility into the Prep Lab. Key capabilities include: a cleanroom area that houses a Digital Instruments Nanoscope IIIa AFM/STM with capabilities for contact and tapping AFM imaging modes, STM, electro-chemistry, and an environmental sample chamber for in-situ AFM imaging up to +250 °C.
