Access will be provided once all steps are successfully completed. Once access is provided, you will be able to enter the cleanroom and request equipment training.

1. Attend the QNF Open Forum, where you can discuss your project needs with QNF Staff. The Open Forum is held every Wednesday, 3pm – 5pm, and can be attended in person in Singh 035, or via Zoom. Please book a slot using the Google appointment scheduler.
   • If you are not able to make the scheduled QNF Open Forum times or cannot access the scheduler, contact Eric Johnston (ericdj@seas.upenn.edu) via email to make other arrangements.
   • Obligatory: Complete the New User Project Form, providing information on the nature of your project before your meeting with the QNF Staff. As a reminder, tools in the cleanroom include spinners, lithography, metal deposition, metal etch, micromachining lasers, ion milling, wet process benches, and soft lithography (microfluidics).
2. Once your project has been approved at your schedule meeting, submit an access request.
   • For external users, you may need to complete an external user agreement if one does not already exist for your organization.
   • You do not need to submit another access request if you have previously submitted an access request unless you are an internal user and need to submit a new 26-digit budget code to create a new project.
   • Required Signatures: A form will be sent via DocuSign for a signature by our user admin.
     • Internal Users: Your PI and Grants Manager must sign the document and provide a 26-digit budget code for billing purposes.
