Welcome to the Amsterdam nanoCenter
Introduction
The Amsterdam nanoCenter is a facility for materials fabrication and characterization down to the nanometer scale.
Founded in 2003, in a joint-venture of the FOM-Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF), the University of Amsterdam (UVA) and the Free University of Amsterdam (VU), it aims to provide state-of-the art opportunities in nano research, primarily for the scientific community within the greater Amsterdam area. It acts as a regional facility for users from University of Amsterdam, VU University Amsterdam, Utrecht University and a number of external business users.
It includes an ISO class 5 cleanroom with facilities for optical- and electron beam lithography and plasma etching, a facility for thin film deposition, and innovative optical tools for nanofabrication, manipulation and analysis.
Equipment
Researchers have access to a wide range of fabrication and inspection techniques in cleanroom environments, such as: Electron Beam Lithography, NUV lithography, two-photon lithography, FIB milling/deposition, EBID, reactive ion etching, thin film deposition, rapid thermal annealing, FE-SEM, EDX, Cathode luminescence, AFM, STM, surface profiling, spectroscopic ellipsometry, optical microscopy.
