We have secured funding from DSTL for a new DC-RF compatible probe station. The system is a Cascade (FormFactor) EPS150RF with four microwave probe heads and DC adaptors. We have also been awarded additional funding from the EPSRC "NAME" programme grant to upgrade the system to include high resolution optics, imaging capability and a heated...
After a long and thorough tender, including clarification meetings with multiple vendors, test samples shipping around the world and a comprehensive analysis of the results, a shortlist has been drawn up and we are finally in the Best And Final Offers (BAFO) stage! We hope to have placed orders for all four systems in April,...
The first national training school in cleanroom fabrication skills is over and, we are pleased to say, was a great success! 20 delegates from across the country, including from industry and academia, took part in hands-on microfabrication training in the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom, supported by a range of technical talks on fabrication fundamentals from experts...
We are delighted to announce that our new EO will start on 1st September 2022. Employed primarily to support the new dry etch and dep systems, our new EO will also support wider cleanroom activities. Details will be shared internally.
All submissions are now being assessed for our four dry etch & deposition instruments.
We are excited to announce that Angstrom Engineering have been successfull in their tender for both PVD systems for the Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom. Over the next 10 months, we will be working closely with Angstrom to finalise the design. Briefly, the two systems will comprise: A Thermal Evaporation system, with: 6 sources controlled in pairs,...
A tender for two new PVD systems is currently live. The questionnaire phase is complete, and successful bidders have been invited to submit technical responses. A decision is likely to be made in December. Current specification broadly includes: Thermal evaporator: including sample rotation, high-capacity sources, co-deposition. Mixed deposition: Thermal plus e-beam sources, with the option...
We are pleased to annouce that the LNC has been awarding funding of up almost £3M (including a £2.6M contribution from EPSRC, EP/W006472/1) for a suite of four dry etch and deposition systems, including: A deep-silicon reactive ion etcher for through-hole / high-aspect ratio etching into silicon wafers. A general purpose ICP-RIE. A general purpose...
We are pleased to announce that the LNC has been awarded matched funding to purchase two new PVD systems, including a thermal evaporator and a mixed electron-beam / thermal evaporator. The systems are currently out for tender, for expected delivery and installation in July 2022.
We are pleased to announce the introduction of a Finetech Fineplace Lambda 2 Die bonder to the cleanroom. The bonder is capable of thermocompression, adhesive, and epoxy bonding devices onto host substrates with sub-micron-precision. For a full list of capabilities, please visit our equipment database.
