We have revised our equipment certification limits. Please see our website to find out the new limit for equipment you have access to by visiting: https://www.inrf.uci.edu/all-equipment/. All users should receive a two-week warning before access to a tool is revoked due to non-usage within the specified limit.
Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff
We hope this helps a little with your planning.
Jake has come in today to try and help complete the new STS upgrade so the wet etch/acid rooms will be open. He plans on taking Wednesday this week off instead.
Note: Lifeng will be off Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
Thanks,

He plans on being back in the office tomorrow.

Jake will be off August 19th, 23rd & 26th. Like before, the acid/wet etch rooms will be closed those days so plan accordingly.

Today the School of Engineering is hosting the Staff Recognition luncheon at The University Club at 11:30AM to honor staff members. Therefore the INRF Office will be closed today during the lunch hour between 11:30AM to 1:00PM.
The INRF ventilation system was inspected by contractors on 5/24/13 and we are hopeful that a temporary solution will be possible so the benches will be operational again soon. We anticipate receiving their recommendation for the temporary fix sometime during the last week of June. However, the lithography area in the INRF may be opened for use sometime next week. The acid areas for wet processing will remain closed until the temporary fix is in place, which is now estimated to be completed sometime in July.
The BiON Ventilation modification and installation of HF monitors is scheduled to be complete this week, so we anticipate opening the benches for use on Monday of next week. We will be designating areas within the BiON for wet processing, so that work previously completed in the INRF can now be transferred to the BiON.
We appreciate your patience during this time.
INRF Staff
