NanoteQ 
The Organic Device Fabrication Lab 

ORG

Adjacent to RM98 (the cleanroom) is the Organic Device Fabrication Lab. This lab provides the specialized instruments necessary for construction of state-of-the-art organic devices in an ISO 7, class 10,000 clean space. The facility is setup for both small molecule and polymer device fab.  

 

Lab Manager: Dr. Swathi Kadaba

The fabrication glovebox is based on a VAC Dri-Lab that has been refurbished and upgraded to include an evaporator and a variety of environmental monitors + a whole lot of fabrication goodies. Nearly any kind of device can be built in the system. REGEN MANUAL and SYSTEM MANUAL.

Organics Cleanrooms

An Organics Cleanroom is setup very differently from RM98 (one for semiconductors). Its purpose requires the use of chemicals (solvents, reagents) that would normally not be permitted in RM98. Protocols within the room are also a little different. Since the class of such facilities is typically lower than that required for nanoscale devices, a full gowning is not required, much of the work is done in glove boxes where the atmosphere can be better controlled, and of course there are fume hood everywhere!

​

To use the Organics cleanroom facility you must be cleared through the lab manager and this is a different process than for RM98. To learn more contact: SwathiK@wfu.edu
