The Nanofabrication Cleanroom facility at NCMN aims to provide researchers with effective and efficient access to nanofabrication equipment, expertise, and training. Facility capabilities include high-resolution patterning via electron-beam lithography (EBL) and photolithography, focused ion beam (FIB), reactive ion etching (RIE), wet chemical etching, and optical, stylus, and electronic characterization tools. Research collaborations are welcome from all university research groups and companies in Nebraska and elsewhere.
