==Lab Orientation==
The lab orientation takes between 1-2 hours and is scheduled based on new user demand. 

The orientation will explain actual lab use, equipment scheduling and trainings, discuss safety policy, enter users into the access system, tour the gowning room area and explain any questions about lab or tool use.  Please feel free to [[Brian Thibeault|call or email]] to discuss in more detail. See the below sections for the additional info needed to attend a lab orientation.

===Onboarding for out-of-town visitors===
For lab users visiting from out of town, please start your scheduling with us at least 3-4 weeks in advance so we can help you schedule a lab orientation and tool trainings around your planned trip dates, and help make your trip efficient and productive. Contact [[Demis D. John|Demis]] for advice on which tools to get trained on.

*Targets and acceptable tolerances for the main steps, eg. "''Deposit 500nm of SiO2, acceptable range 450-550nm (±10% tolerance)''".
**Note that tight tolerances (<<10%) will require us to run additional calibrations at your expense, so please choose a tolerance that is ''required'' for your devices to work.
**It is common to '''not know the tolerance''' for research devices, so just leave that out and a "best effort" is usually acceptable.

For some tools the programming/instructions can be fairly complex - below are examples for tools that require more detailed instructions:

Fabrication Services by NanoFab Staff

Perform fabrication services via NanoFab staff, instead of your staff/employees entering our lab.

Important Info on Fabrication Services

  • Rates are listed here.
    • We bill for both "Use of Facility + Equipment" plus "Dedicated staff support" time per hour.
    • This is similar to your own employee using the lab.
  • You will work directly with Demis or his staff to schedule the work, if the project is accepted.
    • Any project must first be accepted by our Project Scientists.
    • We have limited staff and are not a foundry, and we will only accept jobs that we are capable of performing with success.
  • There is no guarantee of research results or success in fabrication. We may also be able to suggest other ways to get your devices made in our lab if Staff use is not appropriate for your project.
  • You will be billed for the Actual time and materials required during the job, regardless of project outcome.
    • We can provide only a rough estimate of time and cost because it's an hourly service, not a "quote".
  • We send out bills monthly, with payment expected as Net30; Credit card payments are accepted.
  • Publications Policy - fabrication executed by NanoFab Staff is often significant "intellectual contribution". Acknowledgement of NanoFab use is required at minimum.

Request Remote Fabrication Services

Submitting jobs for "remote" fabrication services requires the following steps:

1.  Contact us (email us) to determine project feasibility or ask questions.

2.  Nanofab Staff acceptance of project.

Paperwork for Fabrication Services

3. Submit the Project Info and Description Form (download) to Demis D. John and Brian Thibeault

  • No signatures required, only project info and contact info for internal billing purposes.

4.  Return the UCSB Service Agreement (download)

  • Requires signature from your institution (signature authority required, typically not the professor or graduate student. Business or Contracts Bept., for example)
  • Only one agreement is needed per institution. Ask us to find out if your inst. already has one in place.
  • If you are a UCSB Group, we don't need the Service Agreement from you, only the Project Info & Description Form (above).
  • If you are a group from another UC, we don't need the Service Agreement, instead we need a different form: The Inter-Campus MOU signed by the User submitting the job (here is Attachment A listing included UCSB facilities.).

Statement of Work

For each request, please provide a quick PPT/Word/similar doc explaining exactly what you need done ("SOW"), which should include:

  • Please name your file something like: "2024-08-21 SiO2 Dep v1.pptx"
    • We use the approx date as your BatchID
    • Revisions will update only the v1/2/3 number, but keep the BatchID the same.
  • How many wafers to run and/or number of samples to be provided and size of samples.
  • Exact processing steps to perform. Staff will assist filling in any missing details.
    • Please clearly state which steps UCSB Staff will perform, versus steps your staff will perform, if needed.
  • Targets and acceptable tolerances for the main steps, eg. "Deposit 500nm of SiO2, acceptable range 450-550nm (±10% tolerance)".
    • Note that tight tolerances (<<10%) will require us to run additional calibrations at your expense, so please choose a tolerance that is required for your devices to work.
    • It is common to not know the tolerance for research devices, so just leave that out and a "best effort" is usually acceptable.
