Welcome
to the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility
The
Stanford Nano Science and Technology Lab
|

The SNF is housed in the Paul Allen
CIS Building at Stanford University
|
We
are a state-of-the-art, shared-equipment, open-use resource. Our laboratory
serves academic, industrial, and governmental researchers across the country
and around the globe. The SNF is more than just a lab; it is a vibrant
community of researchers. Our
labmembers come from a wide variety of disciplines, with research in areas
of optics, MEMS, biology, and chemistry, as well as process characterization
and fabrication of more traditional electronics devices. We are especially
committed to supporting use of Micro- and Nanofabrication technologies
in non-traditional research applications. The SNF is supported by the
National Science Foundation
through the National
Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN).
The
SNF is please to welcome our new sister facility in Stanford's NNIN program:
The Stanford Nanocharacterization
Laboratory (SNL). The SNL
offers the latest tools for the analysis of nano- materials and structures.
For more information, visit the website at: http://www.stanford.edu/group/snl.
SNF welcomes researchers from any discipline who wish to explore uses
of micro- and nano- fabrication technologies in their work. To
