Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility

Observations from last night

1) The HarrickO2 was in the mode of “Switch On” on the Pump
2) The Microscope in the SU-8 room wasn’t turned off
3) The door of an Oven in the SU-8 room was not fully closed.

Users need to be more responsible using the tools. This kind of behavior will lead to tools being down more frequently (like the SU-8 spinner) and if you are found to be the one responsible, loss of your tool and possibly cleanroom access.

Please pay attention

Next week Lifeng will be hosting a small 1 hr demo of the chemical wet process room.  You will need to RSVP with Ryan via email (sryan@uci.edu) This will only be open to 6 users and its first-come, first-served.

He will cover:

• Proper operation of the laminar flow hood
• Wast management of reactive chemicals
• Labeling

Fatima Ibrahim from EH&S will be at todays User Meeting to discuss PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). We encourage you to attend.

LOCATION:
Engineering Gateway
Room 3311
1:30pm

A few things from last night:

1. Both spinners were left on
2. A curing oven door was left open
3. One of the flammable cabinets in the hot embossing area was left open
4. We are accumulating beakers again on various benches in the BiON lab. These need to be put away when finished.

This is all unacceptable behavior.  Please respect the lab.

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.

Facilities will be shutting down Air handler #3 for about 30 mins right now. The make up handler should pick up the slack but please keep an eye out for any changes.

The start date for the new proxy readers has been pushed back. We do not have a new start date as of yet but we will keep you posted.

We expect the installation of the proxy card door readers to be installed this coming Tuesday, 1/28/14. Once installed only those users that have been qualified (training log must be signed) and that have completed the chemical usage form: https://www.inrf.uci.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/chemical-usage-form.pdf will be authorized to access.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Jake will be out sick today (12/18/13) therefor the acid rooms will be closed.

This is for those of you that missed the All Hands Safety Meeting. Please plan on attending this.

Date: Tuesday, 11/26
Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Place: Calit2, Room 3008

Thanks,
INRF/BION Staff
