Facilities and Equipment

nanoLAB offers access to several facilities around the University for its members. Please contact nanolab@ncl.ac.uk for further information.

INEX

INEX is a microfabrication facility. We do contract development, manufacturing and commercialisation for specialist electronic devices, microsystems and nanotechnology.

Electrical Characterisation Lab

We have a climate controlled electrical and material characterisation laboratory. We can perform an extensive array of tests on semiconductor devices and structures.

Quartz Crystal Nanobalance

The Quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN) is a very sensitive instrument. It's used to measure the mass changes on an electrode surface.

Fabrication Clean Rooms

The Fabrication Lab provides an excellent learning environment for both teaching and research. Work in the lab includes development in semiconductor device physics and technology.

NEXUS

NEXUS is the UK's National EPSRC XPS Users' Service. It's hosted by nanoLAB near the centre of Newcastle.

Other Equipment

nanoLAB provides equipment which all staff and students are welcome to use at no cost.
