Ultra High Vacuum Multifunctional Magnetron Sputtering System	This system is used to deposit thin metal or insulator film on substrate in micro fabrication process. Sputtering is the process whereby atoms are ejected from a target material to be deposited on a substrate as a result of the bombardment of the target by high energy particles like Ar ions. Application: Metal or insulator film deposition on microelectronics fabrication. Biochip, bio-mems. Solar panel, solar cell	School of Engineering	Ultra High Vacuum Multifunctional Magnetron Sputtering System
Diode Pumped Solid State 355nm UV Laser Processing System	This 355nm UV laser system is used to dice GaN, Silicon or any other wafer. The principle is the high intensity laser interacts with the substrate material and the resulted plasma evaporating the substrate material. As there are no blades or mechanical contact involved with laser processing, chips and cracks associated with mechanical processing are avoided. Application: Wafer dicing process in LED, Si VLSI fabrication process.	School of Engineering	Diode Pumped Solid State 355nm UV Laser Processing System
E-beam evaporator	Electron Beam is a form of physical vapor deposition in which a target anode is bombarded with an electron beam given off by a charged tungsten filament under high vacuum. The electron beam causes atoms from the target to transform into the gaseous phase. These atoms then precipitate into solid form, coating everything in the vacuum chamber (within line of sight) with a thin layer of the anode material Application: • Metal thin film deposition on microelectronics fabrication. • Biochip, bio-mems • Solar panel fabrication.	School of Engineering	E-beam evaporator
Scanning Electron Microscope	A SEM is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. The most common SEM mode is detection of secondary electrons emitted by atoms excited by the electron beam which contain information about the sample's surface topography and composition. Application: • Materail Science and technology • Semiconductor industry, • Biomaterial science and technology	School of Engineering	Scanning Electron Microscope
Atomic Force Microscope	Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), provides images with atomic or near-atomic-resolution surface topography, capable of quantifying surface roughness of samples down to the angstrom-scale. In addition to presenting a surface image, AFM can also provide quantitative measurements of feature sizes, such as step heights and other dimensions. Applications : • Three-dimensional surface topographic imaging • surface roughness • grain size • step height	School of Engineering	Atomic Force Microscope
Microscope - Fluorescent	FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPE is used to study specimens, which can be made to fluoresce. The fluorescence microscope is based on the phenomenon that certain material emits energy detectable as visible light when irradiated with the light of a specific wavelength.
