LabAdviser

LabAdviser is a process handbook for equipment and processes at the DTU Danchip cleanroom facilities and DTU CEN. The function and capacity of each piece of equipment is described and general process steps, eg photolithography procedures, are clarified. LabAdviser is meant to advise you to a good starting point for your cleanroom process for further optimization to meet your needs. To enter LabAdviser you need to log in with your DTU login. LabAdviser is only editable for Danchip and CEN employees. If you need further information about certain machinery or processes, please contact the Danchip or CEN personnel. Any feedback you might have on LabAdviser is welcome and can be given by mail to the LabAdviser mailbox: labadviser@danchip.dtu.dk
