The internal and external academic rate policy caps usage (both door/lab and tool charges) in the cleanroom/soft lithography to $6000 per semester (July-Dec and Jan-Jun) per user. After this cap has been reached, a user can incur an additional $30k in charges without incurring any cost to their PI. Afterward, the regular academic rate is applied for additional charges that exceed the $36,000 threshold and will be invoiced accordingly.  This cap resets every semester. There is no cap structure for industrial users.
