BNC E-news for the week of April 17th
by Willison, Sheryl L 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Spring PM Shutdown - May 1, 2017 - May 5, 2017 The Birck Nanotechnology Center will be undergoing a semi-annual preventive maintenance and service shutdown May 1 through May 5, 2017. Air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, May 1 through 4 p.m. Friday, May 5. The BNC staff will be performing appropriate preventive maintenance on the process equipment at this time as well. All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the maintenance activities are completed 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 systems maintenance. As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Monday, May 1 through 4 p.m. Friday, May 5. 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 building and process tool maintenance will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, May 5. Please check iLabs for equipment status and availability. For long-term research planning, please refer the following future dates for our future preventive maintenance shutdowns.

Vibration Alert - Demolition of Housing North of the BNC - Update
by Voorhis, Mark L. 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

All BNC Users: A vibratory roller will be utilized to backfill the basements from the demolished student housing which could cause significant vibrations for research. Backfill work will start in front of the center and move west. Hopefully vibration will decrease as the vibrator roller moves farther away from the center. Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this Purdue Physical Facilities Construction project. Please contact me if you have any issues. Mark Voorhis Building Manager Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center Office: (765) 494-3036 From: BNC-all [mailto:bnc-all-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Voorhis, Mark L. Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 4:14 PM To: 'bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu' (bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu) Subject: [BNC-all] Vibration Alert - Demolition of Housing North of the BNC Dear BNC User: I was notified today that the demolition of buildings in front (north of) the BNC will begin next Monday (3/13/17). This is part of the Innovation and South Street project. The demolition is expected to continue for approximately 3-4 weeks. The contractor will be working from 7:00 am until 5:30 pm Mon - Fri. It is possible that the BNC may experience vibration during this demolition process. Please be aware of this possibility and organize your work accordingly. Also, please notify me at mvoorhis(a)purdue.edu<mailto:mvoorhis@purdue.edu> if you experience any vibration issues in your research as a result of this demolition. Thank you in advance for your understanding during this Purdue University Physical Facilities (PUPF) project. From: Denecke, Jacob M Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 1:37 PM To: Voorhis, Mark L. Subject: PVIL Demolition | Next Week Look Ahead Mark, Per our discussion, here is a look ahead for next week: We expect that heavy demo will commence on or after 3-13-17 at the far East end in front of Birck and will progress East to West toward Airport road. The buildings are masonry and concrete floor plates on bar joists and will come done easily. In the process of bringing them down it is possible that large sections of masonry wall or the floor plates will impact with the ground causing vibrations. The work hours will be 7 am to 5:30 pm M-F and the possibility of Saturday work as well. Within each building is a slab on grade and also a basement which will have to be demolished and could also cause some vibrations. The basement areas and utility trenches will have to be backfilled in lifts and vibratory compaction equipment will be used and will cause vibrations. We are currently erecting silt fence and other erosion control measures and installing tree protection fencing and other site prep, asbestos abatement and utility disconnections from the buildings. I'll send you additional updates as they become available. Please let me know if you would like additional person(s) CC'd on these updates. Please direct all PVIL demolition communication through me. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards, Jacob Denecke, P.E.

Misplaced Cleanroom Notebook
by Reger, Ronald K 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Dear Birck research community, Please see the below note from Ward Newman, a researcher in the Jacob group. He believes he set his notebook down somewhere near the photolithography area and someone may have inadvertently gathered it up and put it away in a bin. Please check your bins and contact Ward immediately if you find it. It contains some parameters that he needs for processing. > From Ward: > I recently misplaced my cleanroom notebook (~3” x 5”) in the cleanroom. I cannot find it in the lost and found, and therefore I suspect that someone has accidentally put this into their bin. > > Can you please forward this email to the Birck Cleanroom users? I hope someone can find it in their bin. > > Thanks in advance! > > Sincerely, > Ward Newman >
