INRF & BiON Users,
A couple of lab and facilities updates:
The compressed air in the INRF will be offline this weekend Sat Jan 26th and Sun Jan 27th. The INRF will be closed as a result.
As an FYI, the STS Turbo will turned off during this time and brought back online on Monday Jan 28th.
In the BiON, the DI water system will go down for cleaning Monday Jan 28th through Wednesday Jan 30th.
The following week in the INRF the compressed air will be offline Feb 4th and 5th.
Lastly as an FYI, Santa Ana winds are forecasted in the near term so humidity levels may be affected and could go out of spec ( outside of 45-55 %). We encourage users to monitor the levels via the in lab displays, the Forged system, and any notifications Staff sends out as well.

This Monday 1/21/19 is a campus holiday, and as such will be like any other non-staffed time (evenings, weekend). Please plan accordingly.
Also, in the INRF, Laurell spinners 1 and 2 are offline for maintenance. They had a lot of build up and are going through a thorough cleaning.

INRF & BiON Users,
Facilities Management will be working on the DI water systems Monday Dec 17th – Wed Dec 19th. The DI water system will be unavailable during this time.
STAFF
INRF & BiON Users,
As a friendly reminder to everyone, it is important for safety purposes for users to accurately log into and out of the tools and lab. In the event of an emergency this information could become very critical quickly. Please continue to do so. Also as a reminder, this information is tied to the billing charges and the system is not able to reverse the charges so it is also critical to prevent unnecessary charges to users accounts.
Thanks,
STAFF
INRF & BiON Users,
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the INRF and BiON will not be staffed this Thursday or Friday Nov 22 & Nov 23. These days, and after 2pm today, the wet etch rooms will be locked as per usual for non-staffed hours (outside of business hours & weekends).
Happy Holidays,
STAFF
INRF & BiON Users,
Staff needs to clean up all expired chemicals in the INRF and BiON. We noticed there is a lot of SU-8 expired in particular. Please contact Richard at rschang@uci.edu before next Wednesday November 7, 2018 5pm if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or have a particular need to keep anything. Otherwise staff will dispose all expired chemicals.

For those whose processes may be sensitive to humidity, please take note that the humidity levels in both the BiON and INRF are out of tolerance and are real low. They are currently about 10-15% vs. the usual ~60%.
