The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom was thrilled to partner with our neighbours at Notre Dame Sixth Form College to offer their students a unique work experience opportunity. The students spent a week of their Easter holidays fabricating a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT), using the state-of-the-art equipment in our cleanroom and undertaking processes including coating and...
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom is proud to announce the release of its latest technological advancements. Following intensive work by the Cleanroom team at Leeds and excellent customer support from Oxford Instruments, the Estrelas Deep Silicon Etcher and the Plasma Pro 80+ RIE are now available to both internal and external customers. The Estrelas leverages the...
Our third national training school in semiconductor systems, founded by the University of Leeds, University of Cambridge and Swansea University has once again delivered the goods. Hosted this year at CISM in Swansea, our teams of expert Experimental Officers spent a week training the next generation of semiconductor specialists in microfabrication techniques and theory. As...
The team at the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom was delighted to welcome ESA astronaut, and University of Leeds Alumnus, Matthias Maurer during his visit to the Bragg Centre for Materials Research at the University of Leeds. Having spent an incredible 177 days in space, Matthias was perhaps the first visitor to think that our mandatory cleanroom...
The Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom was thrilled to host Abbey Grange Academy for an exciting outreach event in colaboration with the EPSRC-funded Teracomm programme grant (EP/W028921/1). During the activity, students competed to produce the smallest image of a pre-designed cartoon character using state-of-the-art maskless lithography to pattern optical photoresists. They then had the unique opportunity to...
