The Boston College Integrated Sciences Clean Room and Nanofabrication Facility is laboratory comprised of 1,500 square feet of Class 1,000 and Class 10,000 clean room spaces, meaning fewer than this many particles per square foot under one micrometer in size. In addition, there is over 2,000 square feet of service and support space. The lab is supported by an air handling unit that completely cleans and renews all the air in the facility every 45 seconds. Home to over 30 high-end micro- and nanoscale instrumentation systems worth several million dollars, this laboratory enables highly sensitive materials and devices to be fabricated free from contaminants, such as common airborne particles that are often much larger than the scientific devices being constructed. Equipment includes ultraviolet photolithography devices; a probe station; and an atomic force microscope with a resolution of less than one nanometer; specialty items such as a sputtering evaporator, which knocks particles off a metal “target” and sets them down in a layer several nanometers thick on a substrate, a flat piece of glass or plastic; an atomic layer depositor, which can set down materials on a substrate in a layer that’s a single atom thick; and a focused ion beam device that can cut and carve materials with under one nanometer of precision.
