Important Announcements
F50 Down
The Filmetrics F50 Wafer Mapper is down due to broken fiber. Replacement fiber was also broken, we have ordered a new one and expect the tool to be up soon.
Tool has been relocated to Bay 7, just before the EBL room. // John d 08:44, 4 May 2022 (PDT)
F10-RT Down
The Filmetrics F10-RT is down for possible failed harddrive. We are working to repair it.
The Filmetrics F40-UV, also in Bay 4, can do similar reflectance measurements (but not transmission measurements).
If you need transmission measurement, the Woolam Ellipsometer can do this, but may need some work to produce identical results (figuring out sample holders etc.). Let us know if you need that. // John d 08:40, 4 May 2022 (PDT)
LEXT Confocal: DOWN
LEXT Confocal microscope is down, please check email for updates. For general motorized microscopy, you may consider the new Olympus DSX-1000. // John d 16:08, 21 March 2022 (PDT)
