To Become a Lab Member
1. Consult with a QNFCF staff member to assess your project's feasibility
- Prior to beginning the onboarding process it is important to determine whether this work is possible in any of the QNFCF's labs.
- Discussion should also consider whether the scope of the project is suitable for lab membership and tool training or if arranging a "fee for service" would be more appropriate.
- For a fabrication feasibility assessment, contact Lino Eugene.
- For a metrology/characterization feasibility assessment, contact Sandra Gibson or fill in the appropriate form below:
- Metrology requests (TEM, FIB-SEM, and/or Mechanical sample preparation)
- General characterization service requests including SEM, ellipsometry, or AFM
- For RAC1/2 feasibility assessments, contact Taso Alkiviades.
