About
The Quattrone Nanofabrication Facility (QNF) is a a 10,000 ft2 controlled-environment cleanroom with leading-edge equipment capable of electron-beam and optical lithography, physical and chemical vapor deposition, dry and wet etch processing, metrology, and device characterization. The facility is managed by a dedicated team of full-time technical staff and available for use by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and other academic, government and industrial institutions. By providing core nanofabrication capabilities, our mission is to enable research and development across a broad spectrum of areas. Our core endeavors are to support teaching, research, service and commercialization at the micro- and nanoscale.
