NorFab welcomes users from all academic disciplines, start-up companies, industry and the public sector. As the Norwegian Infrastructure for Micro- and NanoFabrication our user community is predominantly based in Norway, but we also host international users who appreciate our state-of-the-art facilities and competitive pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to the infrastructure and pricing depend on whether you are an academic or industry user, whether you are looking to use the instruments yourself or hire an expert to work for you, and on the type of instruments and materials you plan to use. This section, along with the information on available technologies and instruments<\/a> page, will help you budget for your planned project and apply for access to the relevant cleanroom(s).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Acknowledgement<\/strong>s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All research activities carried out in NorFab\u2019s facilities are supported by the Research Council of Norway through the support of operational costs given to the infrastructure. Every user of NorFab must acknowledge NorFab in publications and other written material using the standard text stated towards the end of this page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Access routines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The three academic cleanrooms at NTNU, USN and UiO are open access facilities<\/strong>: whether you are from academia or industry, you are welcome to come and work hands-on at our facilities. We offer training to all new users to ensure you can safely work in our cleanrooms as well as equipment specific training for each of the instruments you want to use. We often have a number of standard processes available for each instrument, but process optimisation is usually required for your specific application. Our engineers are experts on their equipment and are available to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some requests, it might be cheaper and faster to purchase an operator service<\/strong> rather than to spend the training hours necessary to gain the expertise needed to obtain high quality results and analyse the data. An expert will then carry out the work for you. This is dependent on availability and often most relevant for characterisation techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For foundry services<\/strong>, small production runs, or more extensive contract research, SINTEF MiNaLab is your NorFab partner of choice. SINTEF MiNaLab does not offer open access to their cleanroom, and all fabrication is carried out by their experts to your specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications for access to NorFab\u2019s laboratories should be filed to the laboratory where the activity will take place. This may be done through the links below. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
