[Tim Gilheart]

Hi Nagaraj,

As others have discussed on this list before, many of our facilities are equipped with the right tools to prepare these Nanoscribe substrates correctly from readily-available stock wafers. 

In addition to dicing the different glass and silicon substrates for Nanoscribe use, we also developed our own ITO sputtering process that meets the specs in the Nanoguide resource Matthias refers to. 

Also: we have had no issues with continued support from Nanoscibe after switching to our in-house prepared substrates. As Matthias notes, however: be sure to follow carefully all the documented protocols when deviating from standard thicknesses to avoid a crash.

My teammate Jing (copied here) has the lead on our Nanoscribe tool, and we’d be happy to discuss further with you directly as needed.

Regards,

You can certainly source your own substrates. The substrate specifications are documented in the user-accessible and free Nanoguide [0].  If you have not registered there, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Also, if you use thicker than the standard 0.7mm samples, please talk to our support to have a custom holder registered in the software. That allows you to use substrate  thicker than the usual substrates with safe interface finding. If you are an advanced user, you can also do this according to the documentation [1]. Be advised however, that misconfiguration of the NanoWriteconfiguration files can result in damage to the printer if hardware-dependent parameters are missing or incorrectly set by the user. If in doubt, simply reach out to our support.
