The MEM·C Facilities feature a custom-built, integrated system tailored for creating, probing and stacking air-sensitive 2D materials. The entire 2D production line, turning crystals into encapsulated stacked heterostructures, is fully contained in a connected chain of Ar-filled glove boxes (<0.1 ppm O2 and H2O).
There are two 8 glove-glove box workstations in the MSF room, each houses a fully automated HQ Graphene transfer stage, hotplate, and sample storage. One of the gloveboxes also houses the Bruker Edge AFM.
The HQ Graphene stages are primarily confiuged for VdW heterostructure fabrication but the setup is amenable to a wider range of nanomanipulation needs (i.e. device surgery using needle probes).
Additionally, the 2D Foundry includes a 4-glove solvent glovebox with a microscope, wide array of general use moisture-free solvents (IPA, Acetone, DCM, NMP) for air sensitive wash-off procedures.
