Clean room with mounting, bonding, and electrical characterization
capabilities.  Beam telescopes and readout system, Sr90 source.  Etching, 
chemical preparation and metalization facilities in house (currently used 
for diamonds).  Extensive fabrication facilities available on campus 
(http:\\www.ece.rutgers.edu\~maparker\MERL).
