NNCI: Stanford University - SNSF, SNF, MAF, EMF

位于斯坦福大学的国家纳米技术协调基础设施（NNCI）的斯坦福大学网站将为来自学术界、小型和大型公司以及政府实验室的科学家和工程师提供开放的、具有成本效益的访问最先进的纳米制造和纳米表征设施的机会。斯坦福大学将更全面地向外部用户开放斯坦福大学纳米共享设施（SNSF）、斯坦福大学纳米纤维设施（SNF）、矿物分析设施（MAF）和环境测量设施（EMF）。开放这些设施不仅将促进科学的进步，还将加速纳米技术的商业化，这些技术可以解决与能源、通信、水资源、农业、计算机、临床医学和环境修复有关的广泛的社会问题。斯坦福大学将创建和组装一个全面的在线图书馆，其中包含即时教育材料，使斯坦福大学和其他地方共享纳米设施的用户能够在接受专家工作人员的个性化培训之前独立快速地获得基础知识。斯坦福大学的工作人员还将与两个为少数民族服务的机构合作（加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和加州州立大学东湾分校）提供课程作业，实践培训，和纳米设施访问他们的学生。斯坦福大学网站的共享纳米设施将提供先进的纳米制造和纳米表征工具的全面阵列，包括资源，不定期提供，例如可以存款GaAs或GaN薄膜的MOCVD实验室、可以在200 mm晶片上刻出8 nm特征的JEOL电子束光刻工具、NanoSIMS和独特的扫描SQUID显微镜，其检测磁场的灵敏度比任何其他仪器都高。这些设施占地约30，000平方英尺，其中包括16，000平方英尺的洁净室，其中6，000平方英尺符合振动，声学，光线，清洁度和电磁干扰控制的严格规范。支持外部用户的工作人员已经获得了制造光子晶体、激光器、光电探测器、光学MEMS、惯性传感器、光学生物传感器、电子生物传感器、悬臂梁探针、纳米FET、新存储器、电池和光电转换器的专业知识。斯坦福大学将奋进增加来自纳米科学非传统领域的用户数量（例如，生命科学、医学、地球和环境科学），方法是创建有针对性的正式课程，制造实验性纳米结构作为一项服务，提供种子赠款，并领导研讨会和网络研讨会。

The Stanford Site of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) at Stanford University will provide open, cost-effective access to state-of-the-art nanofabrication and nanocharacterization facilities for scientists and engineers from academia, small and large companies, and government laboratories. Stanford will open the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF), the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF), the Mineral Analysis Facility (MAF), and the Environmental Measurement Facility (EMF) more fully to external users. Open access to these facilities will not only promote the progress of science but also accelerate the commercialization of nanotechnologies that can solve a broad array of societal problems related to energy, communication, water resources, agriculture, computing, clinical medicine, and environmental remediation. Stanford will create and assemble a comprehensive online library of just-in-time educational materials that will enable users of shared nanofacilities at Stanford and elsewhere to acquire foundational knowledge independently and expeditiously before they receive personalized training from an expert staff member. Stanford staff members will also collaborate with two minority-serving institutions (California State University Los Angeles and California State University East Bay) to provide coursework, hands-on training, and nanofacility access to their students.The Stanford Site's shared nanofacilities will offer a comprehensive array of advanced nanofabrication and nanocharacterization tools, including resources that are not routinely available, such as an MOCVD laboratory that can deposit films of GaAs or GaN, a JEOL e-beam lithography tool that can inscribe 8-nm features on 200-mm wafers, a NanoSIMS, and a unique scanning SQUID microscope that detects magnetic fields with greater sensitivity than any other instrument. The facilities occupy ~30,000 ft2 of space, including 16,000 ft2 of cleanrooms, 6,000 ft2 of which meet stringent specifications on the control of vibration, acoustics, light, cleanliness, and electromagnetic interference. The staff members who will support external users have acquired specialized expertise in fabricating photonic crystals, lasers, photodetectors, optical MEMS, inertial sensors, optical biosensors, electronic biosensors, cantilever probles, nano-FETs, new memories, batteries, and photovoltaics. Stanford will endeavor to increase the number of users from non-traditional fields of nanoscience (e.g., life science, medicine, and earth and environmental science) by creating a targeted formal curriculum, fabricating experimental nanostructures as a service, providing seed grants, and leading seminars and webinars.
