Available resources: • Class 10000 cleanroom • 2 probestations, one semi-automatic • precision LCR, I, V measurement including scanner
Available resources, continued: • thermal chuck for measurements to -65C • contactless wafer geometry gauge • manual wirebonder • precision XY stages and pulsed laser source for controlled characterization of sensors • We may be able to facilitate irradiations to extreme fluences at nearby Sandia National Laboratory.
