The Oxford Instruments Dry etch Workshop, hosted by the University of Leeds, was attended by over 60 academics and industry representitives from across the country. An excellent series of instructional seminars was delivered by experienced process engineers and technical specialists, followed by tours of the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom and wider Bragg Centre for Materials Research....
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom, through it's senior Experimental Officer Dr Mark Rosamond, is proud to be part of a UKRI-funded and RTP-led 'National Technical Platform for Materials Innovation' with the Henry Royce Institute. This scheme will empower the RTP community working in materials and associated manufacturing technology through training, development and professional networking opportunities.
This week, the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom received four new plasma etch and deposition systems from Oxford Instruments Plasma Technologies. These include: A PlasmaPro 100 Estrelas Deep Reactive Ion etcher with BOSCH and cryogenic etching capability; A PlasmaPro 100 Cobra ICP-RIE with ALE capability; A PlasmaPro 100 ICP-CVD; A PlasmaPro 80 RIE. These additions will enhance...
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom is looking to employ a new Experimental Officer to support fabrication across our facility. The new EO will be fully trained on all available cleanroom processes, and will contribute to user training, industrial engagement, marketing and process development for users both internal and external. This is an exciting opportunity to join...
Another year, another successful Winter Training School in Cleanroom Fabrication Techniques, hosted in the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom. 21 delegates from across the country, from both industry and all stages of academia, were put through their fabrication paces by our top team of Experimental Officers from Leeds, Cambridge and Swansea, and were given world-class presentations on...
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom has been awarded funds from the EPSRC Impact Acceleration Award for the purchase of an oxidation furnace. This system will include both wet and dry oxidation capablities, and will be able to handle up to 25 x (50 - 150mm) wafers.
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom was thrilled to host its inaugural work experience placement programme in October 2023, in which we welcomed Year 11 students from North Halifax Grammar School (nhgs.co.uk) for a week of hands-on microfabrication. During their time, the students were tasked with fabricating a device, packaging it and ultimately taking electrical measurements to...
We are pleased to announce that, today, we have taken delivery of a new HB16 semi-automatic wire bonder that can perform ball, wedge, ribbon and bump bonding using Al, Au and Cu wire, funded by the EPSRC via the TERACOM programme grant. For more information, see here. Once installed and commissioned, training will be offered...
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom has applied successfully for funding from EPSRC, from a combination of the "NAME" programme grant and an internal IPE annual bid process for a B1500A parameter analyser from Keysight. The system will be configured with x4 SMUs (including x2 high power), plus options (TBC) from a multi-frequency capacitance measurement module, high-power...
