I work at an open-use lab helping people make microchips of various types.

An issue we come across fairly regularly is that there is no place to ask question on this interdiciplinary, and cutting-edge/complex field. There is a large international community around this kind of work, and we currently ask questions via email, or on some non-ideal sites such as ResearchGate; or here are two questions on Meta SE asking where to ask about this topic: one, two.

Since SE Engineering has a "machining" tag, and that is most similar in scope to a microchip 'fab (I consider a microfab basically a machine shop where you can machine things smaller than a drill-bit), I would like to propose a microfabrication tag on SE Engineering.

Synonyms include nanofabrication, and related but not synonyms include microelectronics (means electronics only, discounting microfluidics or optics), nanotechnology (often means beakers and chemistry or materials, not wafer-level machining).
