## Description

Service Maintenance Contract for Nanobeam nb5 Electron Beam Lithography \(EBL\) instrument\. The electron beam lithography \(EBL\) instrument requires both high performance and high reliability: o Patterning novel resists including self-assembled monolayers \(SAMs\) on glass or semiconductor substrates by direct writing onto the SAM with an electron beam\. o Writing photonic crystals and optical waveguides on III-V semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs\. o Writing leads onto 2D materials such as graphene and InSe\. o Nano-electronic devices in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures\. o Spintronic devices consisting of thin metal layers deposited by sputtering onto semiconductor devices\. o Nanomechanical devices made from silicon nitride on silicon\. These applications are scientifically challenging, and as such a comprehensive and robust service maintenance contract is required to ensure maximum instrument uptime\.
