The entire lab and all tools will be shut down by end of business day today. I’ve just been informed that everyone needs to finish their process, finish cleaning up their process, and exit the lab by 5:00PM today. No Exceptions.
Please plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to not just finish your process, but also as well as clean up and leave your area clean and back to its normal idle state and exit the lab by 5:00PM.

Notice to Users using HF:
We are seeing an increased usage of 48% HF being used. All 48% HF must be processed in Teflon containers not poly Styrofoam and in addition these containers must be in a secondary container so as to keep the entire system and process in double containment.
The INRF does not provide Teflon containers so users must provide their own.
