Glovebox Inert Atmosphere (N2) Thin-film Fabrication and Testing
Welcome to the GIANTFab Core Facility
The Glovebox Inert Atmosphere (N2) Thin-film Fabrication and Testing (GIANTFab) core facility at Northwestern University provides the equipment to manufacture and test thin-film devices without ever exposing them to air or water, allowing measurements of device performance unaffected by environmental degradation.
GIANTFab is located in Tech J415, within the university-wide Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy.
Research Spotlight
Researchers from the Tobin Marks Group engage with the resources of the GIANTFab Lab to build on Northwestern’s legacy as a leader in solar energy discovery.
