Notice Title

1691 - Nanobeam nb5 service contract

Notice Description

Service Maintenance Contract for Nanobeam nb5 Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) instrument.The electron beam lithography (EBL) instrument requires both high performance and high reliability:* Patterning novel resists including self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass or semiconductor substrates by direct writing onto the SAM with an electron beam.* Writing photonic crystals and optical waveguides on III-V semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs.* Writing leads onto 2D materials such as graphene and InSe.* Nano-electronic devices in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures.* Spintronic devices consisting of thin metal layers deposited by sputtering onto semiconductor devices.* Nanomechanical devices made from silicon nitride on silicon.These applications are scientifically challenging, and as such a comprehensive and robust service maintenance contract is required to ensure maximum instrument uptime.
