Ordering Masks from UCLA Nanolab
- Complete an NRF Mask Fabrication Submission Form for each mask layer.
- Mask filenames may not contain spaces or any other special characters. Underscore bar and dashes are OK.
- Email the submission form(s) and the mask file(s) to the mask shop. You can also drop off the submission form and the mask file at the Nanolab office.
Mask Pick Up and Inspection
- The mask can be picked up from the mask pick up table located to the left as you enter the mask writer room. Outside customers will get their mask shipped by the carrier of their choice at an extra charge. Provide account number for carrier, if available.
- It is the user’s responsibility to inspect the mask for errors immediately after receiving it. If there is any error on our side, we will remake the mask at no extra charge. This policy is void if the mask has already been used on the aligner or more than five days have passed after mask pickup.
