Optoelectronic Processing Facility (OPF)

The Optoelectronic Processing Facility is a multi-user cleanroom outfitted with advanced equipment for fabricating semiconductor and optoelectronic devices on a wafer to die level. The 2500 square foot facility includes both Class 100 photolithography room and Class 1000 Cleanroom. In the Class 1000 cleanroom, capabilities include wet chemical processing, dry etching process, thin film Physical Vapor Deposition (including thermal oxidation and annealing), metrology, dicing saw and wire bonding.
