Orbital Fabrications Ltd is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the specialist vacuum lines and gas delivery system for the University of Leeds Nanotechnology Cleanroom, providing the installation hook-up, and commissioning the inert, toxic, flammable, and pyrophoric gases required for several new semiconductor tools.
The Nanotechnology Cleanroom boasts a plethora of fabrication capabilities, encompassing contact and non-contact metrology, dry etch and deposition, Photo- and electron beam- lithography, wafer and device bonding , physical and chemical vapour deposition, and annealing capabilities, in addition to test, packaging and post-processing.
The Sir William Henry Bragg Building is a brand-new addition to the University of Leeds campus. Launched in 2022 following a £96m development, the venue is home to the University’s Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, and a world-leading centre of innovation in its field. The seven-storey building is a tribute to Sir William Henry Bragg, a Nobel Prize winning researcher and former professor at the University of Leeds.
The facility will include first-class laboratory and specialised teaching spaces, enabling cutting-edge research, and outstanding student experience, whilst enhancing the University’s research power and strengthening collaboration with industry.
As always, we will strive to deliver safe, reliable, and clean ultra-high purity (UHP) gas handling systems to our client. We will work closely with the University and look forward to successful completion.
Congratulations to all those involved on the project.
