WELCOME TO THE PENN STATE UNIVERSITY Nanofabrication Laboratory
The Nanofabrication Laboratory is moving its entire facility to the new Millennium Science Complex, beginning in December, 2011. Click here to view the estimated move dates and downtime for individual tools .
Training Opportunities
MSC Cleanroom Orientation for Current Users: The transition from the current Penn State Nanofab facilities to the new MSC cleanroom is underway. Current users who have already undergone safety and equipment training will not be required to repeat Safety or tool training on tools they are already certified on but will have to undergo Cleanroom Orientation for the new MSC cleanroom facility. View details on how to register.
Lithography Bench Training: The Lithography Bench training for the MSC Cleanroom is for user's who already have access to the old Lithography Benches in the MRI Cleanroom. View details on how to register.
Vistec EBPG 5200 (Ebeam) Training Sessions: The installation of the new Vistec EBPG 5200ES is almost complete, and in order to access the new Vistec EBPG 5200ES (Ebeam) tool you must attend training. There will be a required classroom factory training session in addition to a hands-on training session for the tool. View details on how to register.
OPEN ACCESS
The Penn State Nanofab provides users with 24/7 open-access to facilities that enable fabrication
of a wide range of devices and characterization to support fundamental and applied research in diverse fields spanning electronics to medicine.
ON-SITE OR REMOTE SERVICES
Academic and industry users can perform research on-site using facility equipment, training, and staff support.
The technical staff can also provide "remote services" in which they do your research for you.

NNIN
As a member of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN), Penn State provides technical expertise in materials and chemical technologies at the molecular scale with unique strengths that include surface chemistry, self-assembly, and the fabrication and processing of complex oxide materials.
NNIN, supported by the National Science Foundation, offers a geographically dispersed network of user facilities to enable rapid advancements in science, engineering, and technology at the nanoscale. The Network provides access to technological expertise and nanotechnology instrumentation that would otherwise be out of reach for many researchers in industry and academia.
