National Nanofabrication Facility at Cornell University

国家非制造设施（NNF）将提供由该国独特的设备、人员和项目管理组成的资源。NNF将提供给来自美国大学、工业和联邦实验室的合格研究人员。NNF的工作人员还将与康奈尔大学的教师和访问科学家合作，开发新的仪器资源和工艺技术。由此产生的研究成果将影响目前被认为对国家至关重要的许多科学和技术领域，如微电子、故意结构材料、电子和离子光学、表面离子束处理、随机系统物理学和生物工程。更重要的是，这种资源的开发将创造新的、迄今无法想象的研究机会。NNF将通过研究成果和对学生和专业人员的教育来满足重要的国家需求。

The National Nonofabrication Facility (NNF) will provide a resource composed of equipment, personnel and project administration unique in the country. NNF will be available to qualified researchers from U.S. universities, industries and federal laboratories. The NNF staff, in collaboration with Cornell faculty and visiting scientists will also develop new instrumentation resources and process technologies. The resulting research accomplishments will impact many areas of science and technology currently recognized as crucial to the nation such as microelectronics, deliberately structured materials, electron and ion optics, ion beam processing of surfaces, physics of random systems, and bioengineering. More importantly, the development of this resource will create new, as yet unimagined, research opportunities. NNF will serve important national needs through research accomplishments and education of students and professionals.
