Unchanged Policies

  • Use of the evaporation and sputter systems may include a setup charge if a target change is required.
  • Material usage fees apply for Au and Pt.
  • Time usage is billed in ¼ hour increments. Round your time fairly. For example, if you work for 20 minutes, recording ¼ hour is acceptable. If you work for 25 minutes, record the time in the logbook as ½ hour.
  • We will assess a one-time fee for our three-hour in-person safety training. You will not be charged a daily access fee on your training day.
  • The above daily access fees will be split evenly among all active projects for the usage month, for each user. 
  • Training fees will be assessed after the first training.

Updated or New Policies

  • According to federal guidelines, we are not allowed to use caps. Therefore, we cannot have a monthly hard cap for academic usage or a monthly soft cap for industrial users. We also are not allowed to cap the daily usage fees to a monthly max maximum. 
    • Academic access fee: $50/day.
    • Commercial access fee: $100/day.
  • We are now charging a small fee for optical microscopes.
  • We now charge training fees based on hours rather than a fixed charge.
  • * - If you are trained on one of these three tools, the training on the remaining two reduces to 1 hr each.
