Facilities
The distributed tooling and process capabilities provided by NORDTECH prototyping and core facilities are at the heart of our hub.
Details of some of NORDTECH’s prototyping and core facilities are linked below (either to their website or summary slides with contact information included).
Not sure where to start? Contact the NORDTECH Facilities Coordinator Dave Fobare.
Please reach out to the appropriate contacts to confirm tool and process compatibility, facility capacity, as well as associated costs.

These summaries should serve as a starting point for project leads to develop a process flow that uses one or more of these facilities to create a proof of concept, and eventually, a prototype built in an industrially relevant fab.
Additional prototyping and foundry facilities will be added to this page over time.
