At LatticeGear we have worked to develop methods and tools that minimize particulate generation during the cleaving process while creating clean samples. The trick is that instead of sawing or scribing we make a small indent that does not generate airborne particles. Attached is a technical note we wrote with the University of Sydney where we measured particulates before and after cleaving. Let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Our saws have water spray and exhaust to mitigate this but normally meant for Si is this sufficient for the III-V materials as well? My other question is the waste water with wafer dust. If you do allow dicing of these III-V materials what do you do if anything about the water with wafer dust going down the drain? Anything?

The user is not too particular about the stoichiometry of the deposited film - both Ba or BaO or a mixture thereof are acceptable at this stage. I will try to make pellets out of the powder before we evaporate. I wanted to run it by the labnetwork community to see if there're particular things to be careful about e.g. 1) Should we use e-beam or thermal evaporation technique? 2) What kind of boat/crucible material should be used? 3) Any other important observations. Finally, we also need to evaporate Cesium from a compound like CsF or CsNO3. Any input on evaporating Cesium from these or any other preferred compounds would be very useful.

Certainly, drop me an email if you'd like a demo. Badger began life as Coral at Stanford in 2000 and that codebase led to the creation of Badger as a commercial application about 7 years ago. Unlike Coral, Badger has been under constant development with new features added regularly. As importantly we've upgraded the application internals all along the way which is critical to the long-term reliability of any application. Over the years Badger has evolved into a significantly different app with greater flexibility, dramatically more efficient workflows, browser / mobile microservices that can accommodate most users, real-time status dashboards and a lot more. Badger can be quickly configured and installed turnkey in the AWS Cloud. You can easily schedule equipment and base reservations on a wide range of parameters, including: horizon, time of day, combined devices, a penalty on future reservations for late cancelations and more. Likewise, you can charge in a variety of ways including: use time, reservation time, unused reservation time, cancelled reservation penalties and so on. You can also capture information and charge for services and supplies, training and staff time. Attachments give you the ability to include Excel data, jpg's or anything else with reservations, equipment problems and historical transactions. Our reports and utilities give you the ability to do fine grained analysis, graphing and dump into native Excel format for further review. You can expire user qualifications based on last use or initial qualification, easily manage project and accounts changes in past and much more. At the same time Badger's reliability is simply amazing. Badger isn't free, but you probably don't want it to be. We have zero VC funding or debt. Unlike a lot of apps, we run Badger the old-fashioned way - we try hard to deliver a product that people will want to use and charge a price that will sustain our business and our families. We've managed to start and stay profitable solely based on product revenue and believe this is your best guarantee that we will be here for the foreseeable future. Best of luck in your search.

In our old cleanroom, we used to have traditional 1% yellow windows that turned out to be inadequate for our maskless lithography system. https://www.microchemicals.com/technical_information/170823_Lithoprotect_Flyer_EN_Web.pdf Does anyone know of a US supplier that offers similar product? On the other hand, does anyone know of products that are not quite as performing but still offer say 0.01% transmission below 500nm? We will be using 405nm and 365nm light with a traditional mask aligner and a maskless system.? We typically use AZ 5214E-IR and nLoF 2020 resists for down to 1um features; some users still use Shipley 1813 and we have another set of groups using SU-8 resists.? We're not committed to any supplier but do require tight performance. I'm cc'ing our cleanroom manufacturer engineers in this thread.

The interesting thing is that to do a good job on the UV, the filters are more orange, than yellow, however that could just be my opinion...... So far, we've had no problems with either one.

I don?t know how much they cost but you can probably also try a $6 ultrasonic pond fogger with DI water, which produces a dense mist.
