Facilities for nanotechnology must meet stringent requirements to ensure the accuracy and safety of experiments and manufacturing processes. Key facilities include:
1. Clean Rooms: These are controlled environments with low levels of pollutants. They are classified based on the number of particles per cubic meter, with Class 1 being the cleanest. 2. Nanofabrication Laboratories: Equipped with tools for creating nanoscale devices and structures. 3. Characterization Labs: For detailed analysis of nanomaterials and devices. 4. Bio-Nanotechnology Labs: These labs focus on the intersection of nanotechnology and biology, requiring specialized equipment for handling biological materials. 5. Safety and Waste Management Facilities: These ensure that hazardous materials are managed properly to protect researchers and the environment.
