New quantum-nano fabrication and characterization facility lab advances research and enhances community innovation and collaboration
The University of Waterloo has officially opened its state-of-the-art Inert Atmosphere Fabrication Lab (IAFL) as part of the Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF).
Many materials used in quantum-nano fabrication can easily react with oxygen, so they must be assembled in a special, oxygen-free environment. This lab was carefully designed and built by the QNFCF team, with help from Angstrom Engineering and JEOL USA, to support the quantum research community at the University of Waterloo and beyond.
Managed by QNFCF, the lab offers open access and professional maintenance to benefit researchers and industry partners through the Quantum Collaboratory initiative. It offers training and consultation for those who want to learn how to use the facility for their projects.
