Project SEM

New page

Project Summary

Project Code: SEM
Project Contact: Ethan Waldo
Project Status: Proposed

Project Description: Formalize, fund, and accelerate the efforts
required to realize a fully operational Scanning Electron Microsope[1]
(SEM) including its operation, maintenance, and stewardship.

http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Category:Stereoscan
License or IP status: Project developments are not expected to be
affected by upstream licensing

Additional Info:
Supporting acquisition, refurbishment, operation, and stewardship of a
Scanning Electron Microscope[1] (SEM) provides for a unique ability to
train a new generation of scientists and engineers, develop radically
new technology, greatly improve public relations for hackers, attract
new funding and talent, and further distinguish HacDC in its unique
Washington DC location. A SEM and knowledgeable operators are neither
a piece of equipment nor a skill set readily available among the
general public. Such equipment covers all STEM[2] fields and has a
wide-range of applications, with electron-beam lithography[3] being
something most relevant to the immediate interests of a hacker space.

The project will proceed in four foreseeable stages which do not need
to be carried out serially, but their order of importance should be
ranked as such. The first stage will focus on refurbishing the
existing Cambridge Stereoscan S200[4][5][6] to an operational state.
The second stage will focus on ensuring and maintaining operability of
the SEM for various approved tasks (i.e. typical sample operation,
lithography, etc). The third stage will focus on enhancing existing
functionality (i.e. SEM PCB reproduction, X-ray spectroscopy). The
fourth stage will focus on expanding on success which will likely be
contingent on proven success (i.e. considering and acquiring more
modern microscopy equipment).

The project owner (Ethan Waldo) desires to run this project as a
representative democracy, allowing all members a reasonable
opportunity to push proposals and vote, but with oversight by the
Board of Directors who will be responsible for providing stewardship
of rare and historic equipment and long-term investments.

Examples of equipment or services that may be needed or desired at one
time or another:
High voltage multimeter and/or oscilloscope probes, built or purchased
fully assembled
Discrete PCB components for replacement (i.e. resistors, capacitors,
relays, ICs, etc.)
Pump repair kits and oil
Vacuum seal parts and grease
Cleaning solvents
Desiccant dehumidifier
Sputter coating machine and alloy material
Surplus add-on equipment (i.e. X-ray spectroscopy)
FPGA kits for circuit board reproduction
