On Monday October 26, 2009, the Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory officially opened for labmember research! The Crestec ebeam writer has been started up, qualified and released for lab member use. Crestec is available for reservations through the recently released MercuryWeb software. Marvell NanoLab Orientation Classes are underway. This orientation covers basic safety requirements and laboratory information; members must complete the class before entering the laboratory. At this time, registration announcements are being sent only to members qualified on tools already moved or about to move into the Marvell NanoLab. September 11, 2009
The Marvell Laboratory purchased a separate phone system to handle the more than 50 phone lines which serve the laboratory portion of the building. This system is independent of the campus phone system and saves the laboratory significant recurring monthly campus phone charges. The investment will pay for itself in less than two years. Phone installation is complete and new lab phone numbers will be posted September 14, 2009. Most Microlab employees will remain in Cory Hall for several more months but some staff can now relocate into the new lab office space.
