There is insufficient exhaust in rooms 1402, 1411, 1412 & 1421. Please do not do any processes in these rooms untill this is resolved. Facilities has been notified. Job #:199557 (Facilities contact 4-5444)
This Friday is a holiday and the cleanrooms will be closed. Those with after-hours access will still be able to use the lab but there will be no support staff.
Jake will be on vacation all of next week (7/7 – 7/11) so there will be very limited staff.
HF Bench is still down. We have done all we can do and it is now in Facilities and EH&S’s court. We were hoping it would be done Monday but that looks like it wont happen. We’ll post once we find out more info.
Dicing Saw is back up.
The pump for the Nano imprinter has been sent out for repair and we should be getting that back shortly.
The power supply for the MA-56 is back in but due to various other projects it will be a little while longer before Jake can get that hooked up.
We regret to inform you that today will be Lifeng Zheng’s last day with INRF.
Lifeng began his tenure at INRF as a Post Doc under the direction of Professor Peter Burke and then moved on to a Specialist position in the our cleanrooms. Lifeng has been instrumental in numerous faculty and student research projects and will be greatly missed.
Please join us in wishing Lifeng well in his future endeavors as he pursues further career growth!
The vacuum tube for SU8 spinner in BION is completely blocked by photoresist residues. We will post an update when it is back up.
The HF bench repair is scheduled for Saturday the 21st. That room will remain closed until then.
On Friday, June 13 the INRF front office staff will be participating in an important all-day training workshop for the Kuali Financial System. The office will remain open during that time but remaining staff will not have access to INRF Store or Equipment approvals. Please come by today if you need anything.
All users that utilize our laurel spinners are required to clean up after processing. Jake is now prohibiting the process of using broken wafers for cleaning. The proper procedure is to spray a wipe with acetone and physically clean. For your reference, we have posted a video on the proper way to clean at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF2pDoPBv10&feature=youtu.be#t=14m11s.
