To insure that the equipment remains in good working order and for the safety of the users, it is absolutely required that every user be trained and checked out on a given piece of equipment before he or she is allowed to use it.

The following training Tutorials will be provided as requested:

• Atomic Force Microscope (4 hours)
• Ellipsometer (2 hours)
• Spectrophotometer and FTIR (1 hour)
• Photolithography and Clean Room Procedures (10 hours)
• Clean Room Walk-Through (required before use of the clean room) (30 minutes)
• Scanning Electron Microscope (8 hours)
• E-beam Lithography (10 hours)

Tutorials are $95.00 per hour and will be limited to 4 students.

Users who have achieved very high levels of proficiency on a given instrument will be allowed to train and check out other users from their own groups on a specific instrument. Such "super" users must be so designated by the Keck Lab Manager.
