Use Our New Facility

Need a research tool, but would rather not buy it? You can rent it in a new nanofabrication facility with 12,700 ft² of clean room space to work in!

Affordable rates provide you with the tools you need, as well as training and support from our dedicated and knowledgeable staff, that is tailored to your specific research needs.

We support a broad line of lithography, thin-film deposition, reactive ion etching, and characterization tools in support of device fabrication for a variety of materials, including InP, GaAs, GaN, SiC, Si, and other novel materials.

  New Academic User Fee Offset Program!

We are pleased to offer user fee offsets for non-UCSB affiliated Academic users that are new or have new projects with minimal funding. This program will give researchers a way to test out their ideas and the facility with minimal risk. Fee offsets wil be up to $2000 for up to a one year period.
