Micro and Nano Engineering Facility (MNEF) ERC Cleanroom
To help minimize the costs for the use of this facility, we
involve the cleanroom users in the operation and maintenance of the cleanroom.
For example, we hold regular cleanroom "cleaning parties" when the users are
involved in cleaning the overall cleanroom. Specific users are also asked
to assist with the training on and regular maintenance of individual instruments
in the cleanroom (see the contacts site).
ERC Cleanroom rates are as follows:
- Yearly fee per student/researcher of $2,500.00 to include gowns (billed monthly, after each month of use).
- Monthly fee per student/researcher of $250.00 will not include the necessary gowns. A one time activation fee at the beginning of access of $250.00 will be billed to cover access and gown cost.
- For the monthly fee option, heavy usage would be defined as a number of days accessed in one month of 12 days or more and billed at the $250.00 rate. Light usage would be defined as less than 12 days of usage, and billed at a rate of $125.00.
Industrial users of the cleanroom will receive training for the individual
systems of interest and are subject to user fees for the individual processes
needed as based on MEMS Exchange rates for those processes. If you are
interested, please contact Brian Wright for
details.
