Info

The nanoFAB offers a wide variety of material characterization capabilities. For many, data is often required for only a few infrequent samples. This can often mean training is impractical for both the user and staff. In these cases the nanoFAB offers sample analysis services. Along with equipment time for analysis, a staff processing fee is charged. For continuous analysis needs the nanoFAB can arrange for a contract for services for external groups.

For external groups, who are interested in learning more about this capability, please contact Peng Li for more information.


Step-by-step guide

Note

All sample analysis requests must be submitted through LMACS. Samples are dropped off and picked up outside of ECERF W1-040.

    1. Select Sample as the type.
    2. Enter as much information as necessary in the Summary field.
    3. If you would like your samples returned to you, check Return any samples. If left unchecked, your samples will be discarded.
    4. Click Create Request
  3. Once the request is successfully created, click Edit Request to add details about your samples.
  4. Expand the Add Item(s) section. You will add one item per sample.

    3. Click Print Request
    4. A PDF file will be generated. You will submit this with your physical sample.
  7. Print a copy of your request, attach it to your samples and submit them to the nanoFAB Characterization Labs: 
    1. CME L1-113 (Lower Level 1): XPS, Auger and SIMS samples
    2. ECERF W1-040: other analysis
  8. Comments and results will be communicated through the Comments and Files sections of the request in LMACS.
    1. Results will be uploaded to Files
    2. Communication should be done through the Comments 
  9. If you asked for your samples to be returned, they will be available for pickup outside the Characterization labs in CME L1-113 or ECERF W1-040.
