BiON Users,
We’ve received word that the BiON might have a full or partial shutdown from Saturday April 14th – Fri April 20th. We’re eagerly awaiting a decision from Facilities Management and EH&S and we’ll let you all know as soon as we do.
What we do know at this time is that Air Handlers 3-4 in Calit2 that service the cleanroom and labs above floor 2 will be shutdown during those dates and it looks like the lab will become negatively pressured, so any work requiring a class 100, 100, or 10,000 space will likely not be possible. Fume hoods will likely not be fully functional either.
Again, we’ll update with more concrete news and details as soon as we know, but thought to give heads up now to folks.
INRF Staff

All,
In the coming weeks Ushio America, Inc. will be coming on-site to host a free of charge demo session of their 172nm Photo Bonding System that has been located in the BiON of Calit2. The Ushio, Inc. bonder is a 172nm Photo Bonding System equipped with a UV lamp with an emission wavelength center at 172nm. This is a system that irradiates an object with 172nm light for a specified period of time. Objects to be irradiated can be joined and bonded on top of each other and pressurized using the bonding unit.
This free of charge demo session will include Ushio America, Inc. engineers bonding glass to PDMS, PDMS to PDMS, PMMA to PMMA, and COP to COP. The time and date of this session will depend on RSVPs so please RSVP if any interest to Steven Martinez at stevenm4@uci.edu so that we can begin coordinating the session.
For those interested in bonding additional materials beyond this list, we will also work to see if we can help demonstrate a successful bond with your samples. If interested, please review the additional links at the end of this message and send an email to Steven Martinez at stevenm4@uci.edu with a detailed description of the bond you hope to achieve with this system. Please include as many details as possible (sample dimensions, materials to be bonded, etc.) and send this email as soon as possible / well in advance of the demo session. Depending on interest levels for these additional bonds, either these additional bonds will be demonstrated/tested at the end of the demo session, or additional sessions for these specific applications will be scheduled.

INRF & BiON Users,
Many of you may have already noticed, the Forged System now has a brand new announcements section: https://inrf.forged.systems/dashboard/home/announcements/
You can find this Announcements section within Forged as well under Dashboard–>Announcements on the left Navigation Panel.
This will replace the INRF Website Blog and will be used for MAJOR lab activity updates (Facilities issues, major events / happenings, lab-wide items). Please continue to check the Equipment Status section for equipment status updates.
FYI, The 3 Wet Processing Rooms in the BiON are now once again available and your keycards will now work on the door locks to these 3 rooms if authorized. The stainless steel bench in the Metal Etch RM 11422 is still out of service but the others have all been re-certified and are available. Those still not certified and unavailable for use have signs posted on them.
-Staff
INRF & BiON Users,
In case anybody is interested, Richard will be holding a training session on the INRF’s HF & Inorganic Wet Processes area tomorrow morning at 9:00AM.
rschang@uci.edu
-Staff
INRF & BiON Users,
The 3 wet etch rooms in the BiON are currently temporarily offline as staff looks further into the lab bench re-certifications with TSS and FM. You may notice the electronic key cards not allow access into these 3 wet etch rooms as a result.
HF and Inorganic Wet Processes are available in the INRF. Please email Richard Chang at rschang@uci.edu for access.
FYI, It appears recent blog posts have been being uploaded to the blog on the INRF website but the email notifications didn’t get sent out. If any question check the INRF Website Blog or contact Staff (and notice physical signs posted where applicable throughout the labs).
