NanoFab staff awarded Goleta's Innovator of the Year 2023

NanoFab staff member Demis D. John has been awarded the City of Goleta's "Innovator of the Year" for 2023! The award stems from the UCSB Nanofab's impact on the communities of Santa Barbara County and surrounding regions, in enabling cutting edge technology companies to thrive, which also enables many local careers in advanced high-tech. See the full announcement by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce. //John d 13:58, 7 November 2023 (PST)

NanoFab Featured in Regional Tech Videos

The UCSB NanoFab is showcased as a driver of innovation and enabler of the regional high-tech industry.

CHIPS Act Award Announced to USC and UCSB NanoFab

U.S. Congressman Salud Carbajal congratulates UCSB and the NanoFab on receiving a CHIPS & Science Act award, as part of the California DREAMS Hub (Microelectronics Commons) led by USC. // Demis 12:06, 4 October 2023 (PDT)

JEOL SEM's Installed

Both SEM's have been replaced with new JEOL SEM's #1 and SEM #2. SEM#1 has the NABITY lithography system installed, and SEM #2 has always-on EDAX elemental analysis. Contact the supervisor, Aidan Hopkins, for more information. // John d 18:31, 20 September 2023 (PDT)

Wide FOV Microscope Installed

We have installed an AmScope stereo microscope in Bay 4 for wide field-of-view digital imaging/capture, with >2cm of FOV currently available. Wiki page here: AmScope Wide Field of View Stereoscope // John d 14:52, 19 April 2023 (PDT)

Loomis Scribe & Break installed

We have installed a new Loomis LSD-155LT Automated Scribe & Break Cleaving tool in the Back-End Processing lab. Qualifications are underway. Contact supervisor, Aidan Hopkins, for more information. // John d 09:41, 16 April 2023 (PDT)

Dektak XT installed

We have replaced the old Dektak 6M with a new Dektak XT profilometer. This tool will provide robust, fast metrology for rapid in-process topography inspection. // John d 10:41, 25 January 2023 (PST)

New Process Control data tables

We have added "Process Control Data" - data on deposition/etch repeatability - to a number of our highest used etchers and deposition tools. The datasheets are linked in multiple places, mainly on the Recipes pages for each tool, or on the general Recipes pages for Deposition Recipes or Etch Recipes. // John d 16:07, 5 January 2023 (PST)

+NanoFab staff member [[Demis D. John]] has been awarded the ''City of Goleta's "Innovator of the Year"'' for 2023! The award stems from the UCSB Nanofab's impact on the communities of Santa Barbara County and surrounding regions, in enabling cutting edge technology companies to thrive, which also enables many local careers in advanced high-tech.  See the [https://sbscchamber.com/goletas-finest-2023-award-recipients-announced/ full announcement by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce]. //[[User:John d|John d]] 13:58, 7 November 2023 (PST)
-A new [https://www.filmetrics.com/profilometers/profilm3d Filmetrics Profilm3D] optical profilometer is being qualified. The system complements the [[Laser_Scanning_Confocal_M-scope_(Olympus_LEXT)|LEXT Confocal Microscope]] and [[Atomic Force Microscope (Bruker ICON)|AFM]], by providing large-area profiles (~5-10mm square) with nanometer-level height resolution, and possibly a fast surface roughness measurement.  See the [[White-Light/Phase-Shift_Interference_Profilometer_(Filmetrics_Profilm3D)|Profilm3D Wiki Page]] for more info on the capabilities and techniques.

-We've installed new [http://www.intellemetrics.com/LEP.htm Intellemetrics LEP500 Laser Endpoint Detection] monitoring on the [[DSEIII_(PlasmaTherm/Deep_Silicon_Etcher)|DSEiii]] & [[ICP_Etch_2_(Panasonic_E640)|ICP#2]] & [[ICP_Etch_1_(Panasonic_E626I)|ICP#1]] etchers.  This allows you to terminate your etch at a calibrated/modeled distance into a layer, and removes the need to calibrate etch rates for most processes.
