Overall Lab View

Lab Fixed (Facility) Resources:

• 120 VAC /1Ø electrical service.
• 220 VAC /1Ø electrical service.
• 220VAC / 3Ø electrical service.
• Isolated electrical wall-mounted ground bars (low-noise signal ground).
• Facility chilled water lines, for cooling high heat-load items such as compressors and plasma/hollow cathode lamps. Includes flow control regulators. Also equipped with low & no-flow alarms, with both automatic and wall-mounted manual emergency shutoff valves.
• Gaseous nitrogen filter/valves & regulators, 0-60 psi.
• Liquid nitrogen access valve in NE corner floor of lab.
• Whole-lab humidifier.
• Whole-lab special HEPA air filtration system.
• Whole-lab air deionizers, for ESD control. Ceiling mounted, switchable.
• Lab overhead lighting options: Incandescent, fluorescent, and dark-room (red) lighting available.   Incandescent & dark-room lighting on adjustable dimmer circuits.
• Wet bench, for processing & cleaning. Includes a DI water faucet.
• Stainless steel, 6” diameter closed gas exhaust plenum to roof vent.
• “Do-Not-Enter” warning light located in hallway outside lab, for sensitive lab operations.
• Floor-mounted security safe/vault, for storage of valuable items/materials.
• Lab built with “no-silicone” rule invoked, to minimize thin-film contamination of sensitive optics.
• ESD flooring.

Other Lab Resources:

• 6’ Laminar flow bench, with stainless steel work surface. Horizontal HEPA-filtered flow.
• 6’ Dust hood/bench, with stainless steel work surface. Exhaust motor located on roof, for lower room noise.
