Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility

Air Handler Unit (AHU) # 7 will be shutdown tomorrow between 7:00AM – 8:00AM. This will affect the INRF cleanroom as the pressure will be negative during this time, so please adjust your workload accordingly.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The INRF/BION cleanrooms & office will be closed Monday for the M.L. King Jr. Holiday. After hours users will still have limited access.

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff

A flannel long sleeved shirt was found on the cleanroom rack where gowns are located. Please come to the INRF office to pickup.

The STS is back together however it did not pass the leak test. We will be having a technician come out tomorrow morning to come look at it.  We’ll let you know ASAP when it is back up.

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff

  • Today (1/3/14) Jake will be leaving at 4:30pm so there will be no lab staff available.
  • Lifeng will be out of the country until 1/20/14. He will return the 21st. We will be very short staffed so please plan accordingly.
  • Mo and Jake’s hours will be the same as usual.

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff

The proxy reader was installed on the back door of the INRF. Users can now access the cleanroom using their existing INRF/BION card during normal hours and afterhours for those that are qualified. Let us know if you experience any issues.

Jake will be off Monday (12/2) & Tuesday (12/3). The wet etch rooms will be closed for those days.

Cleanroom Notebooks are now available in the cleanroom store. These are double wrapped 8 1/2″ x 11″ college ruled/grid. They are $18.

Jake has removed the substrate out of the etch chamber but after inspection of the chamber he found it was very dirty and needs to be sent for cleaning and have Teflon insulators replaced.

We will keep you updated.

For the month of December we will be having a couple of closures of the INRF/BION cleanrooms.

  1. 12/9 – 12/13 for equipment & infrastructure maintenance.
  2. 12/23 – 01/01 for the holiday break.

We will be back January 2nd 2014.

Happy Holidays,
INRF/BION Staff
