Just out of curiosity would a UV nail lamp be sufficient enough to erase STD memcal eproms? would the wavelengths be different?
Only reason for asking is you can access them fairly cheap in Australia, and would save the hassle of buying a eprom eraser from the states.

Re: UV light
Yeah +1, except i'd say your looking at ~$20 from HK and 2 weeks postage.

Re: UV light
depends on the wavelength, it has to be short enough that the photons have enough energy to knock the electrons through? or off? the floating gate to discharge them.oss96 wrote:Just out of curiosity would a UV nail lamp be sufficient enough to erase STD memcal eproms? would the wavelengths be different?

I would think around 250nm as they are basically sterilizing/germicide lamps. Which are pretty dangerous and will cause burns and cell/dna damage. So I doubt the nail polish curing lamps are those. They would be more likely be 350-400nm range.
