Holiday Break Announcement
by Turner, Jaime J 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

--------------------------------------- Dear Birck Users and Research Community, With the extended break this year between the Christmas and New Year's holidays the university will be closed for 11 days in a row, starting at the end of the day Friday, December 21st and concluding Wednesday morning, January 2nd. This represents a challenge for us to maintain some limited research capability while the university is officially closed with no staff members present. Therefore the Birck Nanotechnology Center will implement the following policy for the duration of this time period: 1. No toxic, flammable, or hazardous gases will be available. This includes hydrogen, methane, silane, dichlorosilane, BCl3, ammonia, nitric oxide, chlorine, KrF. These gases will be shut off at the source and no processes using these gases will be allowed. 2. Cleanroom and laboratory operations will still be available as long as they don't use any hazardous gases. 3. Fume hoods will be open for use but please make sure someone else is nearby if you're going to work alone in the hood. 4. Stocked materials should be especially conserved by all users as no deliveries to the university will occur during this period, and stocking of on-hand materials may occur on a very limited basis. 5. Cleanroom users should continue to re-use their cleanroom gowns and other garments as much as possible since the shipping of used garments to our laundry supplier will be unavailable during this time. 6. No staff will be working normal hours but some may intermittently stop in for brief walk-throughs and checks. Thank you for your support of this extended period of time for staff, faculty, and students to enjoy time off with family and to refresh. Ali Shakouri Dana Weinstein Yong Chen

Update: BNC Fab Forum will be held tomorrow @ 1 PM in BNC Atrium
by Wirth, Justin C 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

To avoid conflicting with the Discovery Park Distinguished Lecture series today, Fab Forum will be moved to tomorrow 12/4 at 1 PM in the BNC Atrium. All JEOL JBX-8100FS users are especially encouraged to attend, as this week's informational session will be a live demo/training of Beamer's Visual Job. Visual Job will allow users to prepare their data ahead of time and significantly streamlines the data preparation process compared to JEOL's JobMaker software. It should both increase the available write time on the 8100 and cut down on write costs. Fab Forum allows BNC researchers a place to discuss their current problems, concerns, or successes with sample fabrication, characterization, or equipment use. Light snacks will be served along with the coffee and tea of the week. Thanks, we hope to see you there, Justin Justin C. Wirth Research Engineer - EBL Processes & Nanofab Process Consultation Birck Nanotechnology Center | Room 2287A 765.494.8203 | jcwirth(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jcwirth@purdue.edu> https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki https://purdue.ilabsolutions.com<https://purdue.ilabsolutions.com/>

Air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Tuesday, December 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, December 7. All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the chilled water repair is complete and all systems are returned to normal. Only authorized personnel will be allowed to enter the cleanroom during this time period. In addition, the laboratory areas will also be affected by this interruption. As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Tuesday, December 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, December 7. However, work that involves taking standard electrical measurements may be carried out in the LABS provided that fluctuating air temperature and humidity do not affect the readings. No chemical work will be allowed during this period. It is anticipated that the campus chilled water repairs will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, December 7. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this important repair shutdown.
