The CORDE Nanofabrication Cleanrooms provide state-of-the-art device fabrication capabilities, with the breadth of tooling and flexibility to support cutting-edge research.

The CORDE Nanofabrication Facility will initially operate in Service Mode, with two ways of working:

  • You can supply the bare material and our team will undertake the fabrication work, delivering completed material back to you. 
  • Or we can provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for a device concept that you wish to turn into reality. Our Nanofabrication scientists can help with wafer and device design; grow the wafer material; fabricate and package devices and present a finished sample for measurement. 
 

A User Mode allowing you to access the cleanrooms directly to fabricate your own devices will be coming soon with the opening of the new Ray Dolby Centre. 

Our Services

Extensive range of equipment for the processing of semiconductor material into devices for both electrical and optical measurement.

Fabrication of devices by electron beam lithography, patterning silicon wafers with feature sizes ranging from hundreds of micrometers down to 8nm.

Three MBE growth systems, each of which is operated in a cleanroom environment.
