The cleanroom is part of a new larger facility known as the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) opening fall 2014 in Upper Manhattan. Anyone who is interested can get more information at this site <a href="http://asrc.cuny.edu/">http://asrc.cuny.edu/</a>or contact me anytime. We are starting from scratch, purchasing all new equipment to fill a plasma/etch, deposition, lithography, and metrology bay. Several people and neighboring institutions have already been very helpful in this process.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are now in the process of setting up a fee and billing structure, which is the main topic of this post. The facility will be open to all CUNY schools, other Universities, as well as external users. Being that we have no prior data for costs (consumables, repairs, utilities, etc) and an unknown user base size, coming up with a fee structure is proving to be a bit challenging. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any advice on this process would be greatly appreciated. A couple specific areas of feedback that might be useful are:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Is there any literature you have found to be helpful in this matter?<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Does anyone have any suggestions on key items to consider, possibly items that often go unaccounted for?<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Does anyone have an algorithm or model of sorts they find produces a reasonable fee?<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As of now we are thinking of charging a rate for cleanroom entry and then an additional fee depending on the tool being used. There will also be an industrial user fee that is higher than the university user rate. Additionally, any questions about the new center are always welcome. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>---------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i>Jacob Trevino, PhD</i></b><br>Scientific Cleanroom Director<br>The City University of New York (CUNY)<br>Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC)<br>Tel.
