NCF

The NCF enables research by providing access, training, service and process guidance on fabrication and characterization equipment. As a research and development laboratory, NCF is dedicated to application of integrated circuit and fiber optic technology to improve manufacturing methods for MEMS/Nano devices, BioMEMS, Microfluidic, Electromechanical, Mechanical, Chemical, Optical, Photonic and multi-functional devices, some of which have previously been built by more traditional techniques... NCF staff consists of a full-time laboratory manager, and graduate students who assist in training new users along with 22 associated research faculty members at UIC. The laboratory consists of a 3000 square foot clean room subdivided into five bays providing workspaces for various functions including physical and chemical vapor deposition process (PVD, CVD), wet and dry etching, surface characterization, and top and bottom lithography. With over two and a half million dollars of equipment..
