Sensor Integration
Located on the 4th floor in the Life Science Laboratories the Sensor Integration facility has equipment for precise integration of optical and electronic components into compact systems. Equipment includes probe station with laser cutter, wafer saw, wire bonders, a flip chip bonder, via plating, and a laser PCB prototyping tool.
We offer training to users to conduct experimentation for use on a fee for service basis to both internal and external researchers, academic or industry based. Following an initial consultation, covering experimental parameters training and access is arranged through the director.

Training for new users consists of:
- lab safety training,
- operation of the instrument and associated software,
- use of data analysis software,
- exporting or presenting data,
- clean up and shutdown of the instrumentation.
Once the training is complete, researchers may schedule their experiments through the directors of Sensor Integratioin (Joseph Bardin or Robert Jackson) or online through CORUM at corum.umass.edu.
