[labnetwork] How to charge for sputtering target use

[Chang, Long]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the input. I have plenty to think about to decide which makes sense for us.

Thanks,
Long

Heho,

In GNuLab, users log their deposition thickness (including pre-sputtering). They get charged by the Angstrom. I recalculate the price every time a new target is installed.

Price/A=(Price of new target-reclaimed value old target) / (#Angstroms that came out of the old target).

Hope this helps,

Stay healthy,

At UHNF, each user owns their own sputtering target. We are currently considering a shared model for expensive targets like Au, Pt, etc. Does anyone have a reasonable way to estimate material usage vs something we can track so that we can charge fairly? What approaches do y’all take to manage how expensive material is shared?
