Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility
Dear INRF Staff & Colleagues,
Our Cleanroom Engineer, Dexter Humphrey will be retiring from the University! His last day with us will be Monday, October 3rd.
Dexter has been a dedicated to the University of California for the last 10 years. During his tenure at UCI he implemented the “Cleanroom Fabrication Processing Techniques” course series which was well received by students users and has been instrumental in assisting our cleanroom users with their research projects. I hope everyone will join me in wishing him well in his future endeavors. We will be holding a farewell gathering on Monday from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Calit2, room 3008.
Lunch and light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP by e-mailing sryan@uci.edu if you plan to attend.
We have recently had the floors cleaned/waxed in the INRF cleanroom and noticed that the disposable booties did not give proper traction. In order to break in the new floor and keep you safe we have removed the disposable booties in the gowning room and replaced them with the cleanroom suit shoe covers (various sizes / please check). Please snap together and return them to the bin after use. We anticipate this only be enforced throughout next week. The BION is not effected.
INRF Front office will be closing @ 2pm today for the labor day holiday. Monday is a campus holiday therefor the office and acid rooms will be closed. Please use the back door keycard reader for INRF building access.
The INRF gowning room is now back on line. You will now be able to access the cleanroom with your keycards through rm 2324 (afterhours included). All afterhours users with hard keys, please return them to Ryan asap.
The BION is back to the 24hr schedule to those with access. Thanks for your patience.
The issue has been resolved. Feel free to use the cleanroom.
Monday is the 4h of July and a campus Holiday. There will be no office or lab staff and you will need afterhours access. Plan accordingly.
Have a great weekend!
(BION) FAcilities work in HF Room
June 9, 2016
Tomorrow morning at approximately 8am facilities will be adding a new N2, lab air and vacuum line to the room for the dicing saw. We don’t expect there to be any downtime but just pay attention when working in there to make sure everything is working properly. Ill post again if there are any updates.
We will now be checking out keys to those interested in using the lab afterhours and on the weekends. Please see Ryan before 4pm the day you plan to use it and you will be issued one. Please return it the next day (with exception to the weekend) to make it available to other users. The doors will be locked during the week around 6pm. If you do not have an afterhours key you will be locked out if you leave the cleanroom and this could result in a safety issue if equipment was left running. Key holders will be responsible for locking up and shutting down if you are the last one in the lab.
