- Most tool rates have increased by about 3%, i.e. for academic rates +$1/hr or +$2/hr above their previous value.

- The JEOL e-beam lithography tool rate has not changed.
- The usage and billing structure for PDMS processing has changed: PDMS kits are no longer shared among the user community: they should be purchased by users, and the Solvent 94 bench rate has decreased accordingly.
