[labnetwork] soft cap number for research groups

[Gila,Brent P]

Hello,

Like other facilities, here at UF we have a monthly soft cap.  Once the 
monthly soft cap threshold is reached, an additional 80% subsidy is 
applied to the tool rates, meaning the customer pays 20% of the user 
fee.  This applies only to fabrication tools, not characterization 
instruments like FIB, TEM, SEM, Raman,..... Microfabrication metrology 
tools are included under our soft cap.

Our soft cap is only offered to our internal UF users and is per funding 
project per PI, regardless of the number of users on that project.  The 
soft cap does not apply to staff labor, consumables, and daily cleanroom 
entry fee.

Best Regards,
Brent
