Abstract:

The Central Fabrication Laboratory (CFL) is a cutting-edge cleanroom facility located at the University of Hong Kong. Its primary mission is to provide advanced fabrication facilities and expertise to enhance teaching and research activities in micro/nano fabrication. As a leading research laboratory, CFL offers open access not only to University of Hong Kong members but also to local and international institutions, researchers, and companies, with collaborations from the private sector always encouraged. The technical sharing sessions offered by CFL are designed to keep participants updated on the latest micro/nano fabrication techniques and provide valuable networking opportunities with experts from around the world.


Large-sample atomic force microscope (AFM) equipped with advanced technologies and a low-noise system design can measure the sub-angstrom roughness of flat samples and the lattice structure of 2D materials. The high-speed sample stage and motorized design improve measurement efficiency and can realize automatic test sequences. Compared with traditional large-sample AFMs, advanced models nowadays have high-bandwidth XYZ scanners that increase scan speed by ten times, facilitating time-lapse imaging or scanning of high-aspect-ratio structures. These systems can also provides various accessories such as scanning capacitance microscopy, in-situ tensile stage, Cooler Heater sample stage, conductive AFM, liquid imaging kit, etc.
