Robert, |
I did a survey 3 years ago and published it in IEEE UGIM Symposium 2006. It may be helpful (attached or online at IEEE) |
Rob Pearson of RIT was considering doing a similar survey this year. We all need to work together to keep the University Cleanrooms open and operational! |
Good Luck and keep in touch. |

Hi, |
I am on the Executive Committee at the Wisconsin Center for Applied Microelectronics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Recently the Dean of the College of Engineering has decided to cut all support to this facility, so that we are required to support ourselves entirely through user fees. As a result, the rates have gone through the roof, usage has dropped, and the facility is struggling. |
The Executive Committee wants to make a case to the Dean that we need some amount of internal support to grow the facility (or even to survive). I am interested in learning whether a totally self-supporting university cleanroom is the norm, or whether this is an anomaly. |
If university cleanroom managers out there are willing to help, could you please provide the following information: |
1. Approximate total yearly budget for your cleanroom. |
2. Approx. yearly user fee income (broken out into internal and external users, if possible). |
3. Approx. funding from within the university (including staff salaries and support for facilities). |
4. Approx. funding from external grants. |
Any information you can provide is helpful. |
Thanks in advance, |
Robert |

Hi All, |
At SJSU we did not really have the problem of the Dean pulling the |
funding because we never received much money from the College. |
We were able to generate enough money to refurbish our "dirty fab" |
from local industry. When we realized how much the upkeep was, we |
really scaled back. |
(Some of you have visited the lab during UGIM 2006.) |
We have had some good fortune lately, in that the current lab |
director (Stacy Gleixner) was able to secure about $20K from the Dean |
for operations. |
We sold the Dean on the lab being a showcase for the college. It was |
an easy sell given that it is available for open house and community |
