Facilities will be working on the roof at Calit2 again this Saturday. This will effect the hoods in the BION. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility
BION Closed this Saturday for Facilities Maintenance
February 5, 2015
The BION will be closed this Saturday (02/07). Facilities is scheduled to make belt replacements and bearing lubrication on all exhaust fans on the roof of Cal IT-2. This will affect the Fume Hoods in cleanroom. If you plan on coming in on Sunday please call Jake on his cell beforehand to make sure everything is operational.
Yesterday we had an incident in the BION due to someone placing a nylon wafer cassette in the dehydration oven which set off a smoke detector and caused the fire department to respond.
Users need to pay close attention when placing objects in or on top of the hot plates and ovens. If you have any questions please contact staff. The oven has been tagged out until it can be cleaned.
We are now offering 24 hour access to All users!
If you are interested, please e-mail info@inrf.uci.edu so we can schedule 24 hour access training for you.
We are waiting on a new lamp that was back ordered. We anticipate the lamp to be in around the 30th.
Facilities will be replacing the UPS on the Siemens panel on the roof starting around 7:30 – 8 am. This panel controls the make-up air handlers and the exhaust fans. This should take no longer than 2hrs. If you are in during this time just be cautious.
Happy Holidays Cleanroom Users!
The INRF and BiON cleanrooms will remain open with limited access during the holiday break from 12/24/14 – 1/02/15. The front office will be closed.
Both labs will be back to normal operation January 5th.
During this time there will be no staff coverage, no access to wet rooms and only the following equipment/areas will be operable:
- Lithography
- Characterization
- Ebeam Evaporation
If you have a specific need you may discuss with the Lab Manager Jake Hes to see if allowable.
The DI System in the BION is back up. The INRF will be going down tomorrow.
It’s that time of year again for the dry “Santa Ana” weather so please be vigilant in checking the humidity percentage in the rooms before starting your process (especially in lithography). We are working with Facilities to address the issue but in the meantime just be aware.
