🔬 After coating the wafer with resist, it’s time to transfer the design into the photosensitive film. Here we see a resist-coated wafer being mounted and loaded into the VB6 Electron Beam Lithography tool ahead of the process.

🧪Lithography is a crucial step in any micro or nanofabrication process. It’s how patterns from a design are precisely transferred onto a chip or wafer. Here, we capture the spin-coating of a resist film onto a 150mm wafer.

From chip-scale experiments to wafer-level innovation💫
Our new Nanofabrication Cleanrooms at the Ray Dolby Centre are equipped to support it all.
Here, a researcher runs a 200 mm wafer through the Oxford Instruments ICPCVD tool - used to deposit uniform, dielectric films onto wafers and chips.

New from CORDE 👨🔬 — Ben Collishaw has developed a modular kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to model sulphur diffusion on Ni(111) surfaces.

🎓 Ethan Cantor (Manchester @OfficialUoM) explored Haralick texture analysis on SHeM data — building a Python tool to detect subtle surface changes and joining us at the UK SHeM conference in Durham. A fantastic contribution from a first-year student! #UndergraduateResearch #STEM #SHeM

At CORDE's #AtomScattering and #AtomMicroscopy Facility, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible✨

Using helium atom scattering the researchers can carry out ultra-sensitive structural and dynamic analysis of 2D materials and surfaces.
