Candidate Proposals for Space Use
1. Requires performance of space available in MIT.nano
2. Provides long-term benefit for the MIT community
3. Cost to facilitate at another MIT location is prohibitive
4. Extends an existing intellectual thrust of MIT.nano
5. Significant number of PIs are interested in this capability
6. Opens new educational opportunity
Faculty may propose to add new equipment or transfer existing equipment to MIT.nano’s facilities. Proposals review process considers the following:
1. Proposal for Candidate Instrument/Tool/Space
• First contact made to MIT.nano Director• Identification of tool/instrument type: shared, mission
critical, new (capacity or capability), private, directed• One-on-one discussions to gather compatibility/need
(substrate size, deposit /etch/measure, history, contamination, maintenance budget, financial model, user history, staffing, process data, user base, age, and vendor support) with MIT.nano Director andManaging Director
2. Candidate Instrument/Tool/Space• List of tools or instruments• One-on-one discussions to gather facilities and space
needs data (environment, power, water, gas, and ventilation) with Managing Director (or delegate)
3. Preliminary Layout• Interactive / iterative process with
Managing Director (or delegate)• Feasibility established and proposed site located
4. Preliminary Approval to Move Forward• 5-Day review period• MIT.nano Director and Managing Director• Scope of Work funds identified• Allows inclusion into grant proposal• Assigned as a project and tracked
5. Scope of Work ($)• Complete SAFE form• Design firm creates schematic design drawings• CM generates budgetary cost and schedule
estimates (non-binding)
6. Interim Approval (3 paths)• MIT.nano Director• MIT.nano Director with input from Leadership• MIT.nano Director with input from
Tool / Space Committee
7. CRSP Review / Approval8. Determine Final Pricing ($$)
• Construction documents• Funding sources verified• Review and approval by DoF and EH&S
9. Final Approval by MIT.nano Director10. Execution ($$$)
Methodology for Evaluating Instrument/Tool/Space Use Candidates
Two Types of Toolsets in MIT.nano
CENTRALLY MANAGED:Shared tools & instruments, open to the entire research community.
PRIVATELY STEWARDED:Tools & instruments for specific projects and capabilities,stewarded for a limited time by faculty stewards on behalf of MIT.nano.
• All areas within the MIT.nano building are overseen by MIT.nano staff.• Users of the shared toolset and privately stewarded tools are subject to oversight bythe MIT.nano staff and agree to adhere to MIT.nano rules, procedures and policies.
1. Between 1 and 6 years initial agreement on STEWARDED tools2. MIT.nano compensated to offset incurred costs for install and maintenance3. Joint discussion with CRSP on space needs
… MIT.nano EQUIPMENT SUPPORT PROGRAM (ESP) for PRIVATLY STEWARDED TOOLS:
MIT.nano Equipment Support Plan Tiers
1. These are coarse descriptors, delineating the type and intensity of operations and associated costs for different types of equipmentthat may be located in MIT.nano but excluded from the shared tool set. Supported equipment fees (ESP) include deliverables suchas operational non-research staffing (as appropriate to the space), chilled water, DI-water, compressed dry air. ESPs do not includeconsumables (e.g., specialty gases including nitrogen, liquid nitrogen) and fee-for-service (e.g., design, installation, moving, de-installation of equipment, equipment maintenance by vendor); these will be billed separately by MIT.nano.
2. For the safety of all facility users, MIT.nano staff must establish all gas connections and provide any specialty gas. This also allowsMIT.nano to manage the quantity of the stored dangerous gases in the building. All gasses delivered and consumed in the ESP planfor each PI will be metered; the PI will be charged only for the gasses they consume, not the entire gas bottle. Cost of installationof needed piping (from gas cabinets to the PI’s tools) and gas meters will be billed separately.
3. These fees are set as fixed for transparency and simplicity on an annual PI basis, and are based on operating costs including staffresponse, toxic gas monitoring, and other deliverables. As some equipment operating costs scale with physical volume, if a facultyproposal for an ESP plan significantly exceeds operating costs represented in these ESPs, fees could be increased incrementally toreflect that. However, these are expected to be rare cases due to the finite and shared resources of MIT.nano.
