The KNI Laboratory offers full-service work for internal (Caltech/JPL) customers as well as external customers from industry, government, and academia. We welcome electron beam lithography requests, in addition to other device fabrication needs. Full-service work is project dependent based on staff availability, timeline, and scope, and will be reviewed by KNI technical staff. Full-service work is best for one-off project needs. Ongoing device fab work is typically outside our capacity. This page covers the pricing for '''external''' full-service customers.
