2024-12-20 to 2025-01-02: Reduced Holiday Operations

Dear Birck Research Community,

The Purdue winter recess begins effective Friday afternoon December 20th and concludes Thursday morning, January 2. The university is officially closed during this time. As we have done in past years, the Birck Nanotechnology Center will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the "buddy" system). Click the link above to get more detail about equipment conditions and rules.

Refer to the Material and Process Compatibility page for information on materials compatible with this tool.
Equipment Status: Set as UP, PROBLEM, or DOWN, and report the issue date (MM/DD) and a brief description. Italicized fields will be filled in by BNC Staff in response to issues. See Problem Reporting Guide for more info.

General Description

The PMC200 can be used for testing wafers and substrates up to 200 mm in a cryogenic environment. It is capable of a wide range of measurements including I-V, C-V and RF, and can be used for probing down to 77 K with liquid nitrogen or 4 K with liquid helium. Application flexibility is ensured for DC and RF measurements of micro fabricated devices.

PMC200 is outfitted a video microscope and RF micro-positioners for RF & DC measurements.
