Before starting to use the facility, you will have to book and complete relevant training. There are two types of training - general training and specific equipment training.

General Training - The general training is mandatory, provided in groups on demand. It is free of charge. The general training includes a lab tour, lab policies/protocols, and demonstration of using common and easy-to-operate tools such as hotplates, the profilometer, the spin coater, and the plasma asher.

Specific Tool Training - Specific tool training will be offered to those who use advanced and large scale tools such as the UV mask aligner, the PECVD-RIE, the sputtering machine, and the ebeam evaporator. The specific tool training will be offered by request. The rate can be found in the Fee Scheme.

To book a training session, please log onto Online Equipment Booking System (NEMO @ YorkU) and choose [YMF] Book Training.

After you have completed the general training and/or specific tool training session, your account on the booking system will be activated. You should be able to book an instrument that you are qualified to use on the booking system.
