The University of Waterloo Nanotechnology program provides students state-of-the-art teaching facilities. This includes a clean room and metrology suite furnished with multi-million dollar micro- to nano-scale device fabrication and analytical equipment. Here are some of the highlighted instruments (click the image to enlarge and view the slideshow).

The technician visually examines the pattern of devices that are transferred to the wafer. The wafer is then further examined in more detail using a state-of-the-art microscope. UV light is also used in the yellow room. It's a sophisticated system designed to add and then inspect the different layers of masks adhered to the wafer.

Nanotechnology Engineering labs are equipped with cutting-edge technology such as this Scanning Electron Microscope and silver sputter coater. Nano material is loaded on circular samples then loaded into the vacuum chamber. The electronic gun separates electrons from the sample and collects it.
