[Bnc-facility-notice] Birck Has Been Returned to Normal Operation

Dear Birck Friends and Colleagues, Happy New Year! Welcome back after the holiday break! The Birck Nanotechnology Center has been restored to normal operation with hazardous gases turned on, and the Toxic Gas Monitoring and Vertex systems both restored to operation. Note, there was an issue with house argon where we have lost pressure potentially due to a leak somewhere in the line or in a tool. We're tracking this down now, so if you have a process that uses argon be aware that the line pressure will be low until we find and fix this issue. Ron
