[labnetwork] Consumable Cost Data and Estimation

[Morrison, Richard H., Jr.]

Hi Jacob,

Here at Draper we have the following for our last 12 month period. Our user base is small, we run development programs, typical is 4 programs running at a time, 2 staff and 2 technicians per staff.

LN2 bill is $160K per year, this is the largest single expense
$68K for chemicals, resist solvents, acids and bases
$15K for consumables gloves, hats boots
$18K cleanroom garments laundry service
$50K in specialty gases
$34K for wafers
Our service center supports 4.5 FTE, we have 7500 sqft of clean space and 100 process tools.

Hope this helps

Rick

Subject: [labnetwork] Consumable Cost Data and Estimation

Good day,

Previously, I introduced the new cleanroom that is going up at the City University of New York (CUNY) as part of the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) to open fall 2014. I received wonderful advice from several of you regarding fee structures for equipment use, which I am very grateful for.

One issue I am coming up against presently is estimating the amount and cost of consumables, that will feed into setting up our fees.  For the first year, I understand this will be an estimate, as our start-up user base is unknown.  After the first year we can adjust based on the actual numbers.

I was curious if anyone had any data on their cleanroom's consumable costs that they wouldn't mind sharing with me? I know this is highly variable depending on the size, equipment and user base of each of your facilities, so I will do my best to take that into account. Any information you can provide (even if it is partial data) will be greatly appreciated and help us to make an educated guess on what to expect.

Thank you again for all your help.

Best regards,
Jacob
