Whitaker Institute Lithography and Fabrication Facility
Supported by the Whitaker Foundation, the lithography and fabrication facility in Clark Hall is established as a multidisciplinary focus point at the Homewood campus to facilitate research and education for undergraduate and graduate students in the area of microfabrication and system integration. Activities in the laboratory emphasize the use of modern lithography and fabrication technologies as tools for biological research in neuroscience, tissue engineering and molecular dynamics as well as in medical applications for novel therapeutics, artificial tissues, drug and gene delivery and MEMS microsensors.
The facility includes a 1300 square feet of class 1000 cleanroom space to carry fabrication processes such as photolithography, thin film deposition, oxidation, and surface and bulk etching. The laboratory is operated as a shared facility and it is staffed by a full-time lab manager, Mr. Huy Vo huyvo@bme.jhu.edu who is responsible for its maintenance, student training and safety. Prof. Andreou is the current director of the facility.
