Welcome to the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility
The Stanford Nano Science and Technology Lab

 


The SNF is housed in the Paul Allen
CIS Building at Stanford University

 

We are a state-of-the-art, shared-equipment, open-use resource. Our laboratory serves academic, industrial, and governmental researchers across the country and around the globe. The SNF is more than just a lab; it is a vibrant community of researchers. Our labmembers come from a wide variety of disciplines, with research in areas of optics, MEMS, biology, and chemistry, as well as process characterization and fabrication of more traditional electronics devices. We are especially committed to supporting use of Micro- and Nanofabrication technologies in non-traditional research applications. The SNF is supported by the National Science Foundation through the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN).

The SNF is please to welcome our new sister facility in Stanford's NNIN program: The Stanford Nanocharacterization Laboratory (SNL). The SNL offers the latest tools for the analysis of nano- materials and structures. For more information, visit the website at: http://www.stanford.edu/group/snl.

SNF welcomes researchers from any discipline who wish to explore uses of micro- and nano- fabrication technologies in their work. To learn how to become a labmember, click <here>.

SNF News (6/18/08):

  • Next Labmembers' Meeting: Friday, June, 20, at 11 am - noon in the CISX Auditorium. Topics of general interest to the SNF labmember and staff community will be covered and there will be opportunity for discussion. Everyone in the labmember community is welcome.
  • Process Grand Rounds: This is a forum for open discussion of technical issues. Each session will have issues which may be of general interest and a chance for anyone to bring up a processing problem for brainstorming. For those of you who missed 'em, notes from previous meetings are posted.
  • Process clinic: Process staff will be on-hand for consultation every other Monday, 2-4 pm in the cubicle area outside the lab. Next Process Clinic will be 6/30/08. Keith Best, Director of the ASML Apps Lab will be on hand to listen to and advise on your wackiest lithography requirements. There will be a laptop with Tanner LEdit, so feel free to bring your mask layout or ideas for one. SpecMat convenes at 3 pm.
  • Venture Clinic: Many apologies to those who were waiting! There was a scheduling mixup . But Shahin Farschi, from Lux Capital, will be back here answer your questions about starting a company. Meet him in CIS 101, on Thursday, July 10, at 2 pm.
  • Maskmaking: For information, forms, how-to-layout a mask, and links check out the new Maskmaking site.
  • Deconstruction: So what's going on next door? See what you might have missed (courtesy of Mike Deal.)
