Rather, the laboratory emphasizes breadth and flexibility to support a wide variety of projects. Currently, research projects address many aspects of microelectronic processing steps and materials as well as silicon micromachining. A simple CMOS process has been established. Recent work has also begun in the field of molecular electronics. Availability Facility staff welcome collaborative research projects consistent with the research goals of the NIST semiconductor program.
Work is performed in cooperation with the technical staff of the laboratory.
The most productive arrangements begin with development of a research plan with specific goals. The commitment of knowledgeable researchers to work closely with NIST staff and the provision of equipment and other needed resources are required. Because hazardous materials are present, laboratory staff must supervise all research activities. Fabricate structures for thermal conduction of silicon dioxide round robin. Publish MJTC fabrication procedure and process data, as a NIST Special Publication.
