FAB.nano New User Quick-Start - June 7

June 7, 2022
9am-1pm
Fab.nano Cleanroom (12-3101)

All users without previous cleanroom work experience are required to take the quick-start training. Waivers for prior experience will be handled during the Fab.nano orientation.

The quick-start provides hands-on training to new users, by following through a simple 1-mask process in a small group. You will gain familiarity with entering the lab, handling samples, learn about deposition, lithography and etch tools, and how to verify process results.

An active MIT.nano user account is required to participate in this training. Please setup an account prior to registering for the training event.

Because we are working in the lab, please wear long pants and full shoes

Please have the Fab.nano Orientation completed before the quick-start event.

FAB.nano New User Orientation - May 31

May 31, 2022
4:30PM – 5:00PM
MIT Zoom (link will be sent when registering)

The orientation consists of a series of self-paced videos to watch, and a 30-minute check-in over zoom, where we provide an introduction, answer questions about the lab & capabilities and how to get started, and check for any missing trainings. All cleanroom and packaging space users need to complete the orientation before card access can be granted.

Users with no prior cleanroom experience also take a half-day “quick-start” class, which provides a hands-on experience in core methods (deposition, lithography, etch). Users with prior cleanroom experience will receive a waiver during the orientation check-in. If you only need to use the packaging space (and not the cleanroom), the quick-start is not needed.

Registering for the orientation, you will get a chance to describe your general fabrication needs, helping us better understand each user’s goals and expectations. The registration form also contains a checklist to help you spot any missing EHS trainings.

After registering, you will get an email with a link to the videos to watch, and the zoom link to the orientation event.

MIT.nano + Zeiss ZRM Workshop, May 17-May 19

May 17, 2022
10:30AM - 3:00PM ET
MIT.nano 12-0168, 12-0163

Seeing inside: Submicron 3D X-ray microscopy in the laboratory

LOCATION: 12-0168 
TIME: 10:30AM - 11:30AM
SPEAKER: Will Harris, Ph.D, Product Marketing Manager—Materials Science, ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions 

Challenges to understand three-dimensional structures have become prominent in numerous fields including energy materials, additive manufacturing, biomaterials, semiconductor devices, and geoscience.  Often, the three-dimensional structure/morphology at the meso- to micro-scales can be closely correlated to the properties or performance of these systems, motivating the need to better visualize, quantify, and understand them.

X-ray microscopy offers the possibility to interrogate such samples by 3D imaging.  By building on the robust and well-established technique of X-ray computed tomography but adding optical elements to extend magnification into the sub-micron world as well as additional contrast modalities, XRM provides a flexible nondestructive approach available in a laboratory-based system. 

This talk will provide insight into the capabilities of the ZEISS Xradia Versa X-ray microscope at MIT.nano, how it complements other microscopy methods such as SEM, and share an array of application examples of recent research projects.


Overview of Versa 620 XRM at MIT.nano

TIME: 1:00PM-3:00PM, 3:00PM-5:00PM,
