Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility

Since its founding in 1977, the CNF (Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility) has been a national user facility, where researchers from universities and companies across the country can access state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization tools, and learn to use them with the help of a knowledgeable technical staff. CNFs ~700 active research users represented a very diverse range of disciplines, including materials, chemistry, electronics, magnetics, MEMS, optics, biology, electro-mechanics, and bio-systems. Within these broad field, CNF particularly makes its mark with high resolution, high precision patterning, to features smaller than 20 nm.
