Holiday Greetings
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

[cid:image001.png@01DA3427.961B9590] Dear Birck Research Community, Since it is after 3:30 pm on Dec. 21st we are now in our Holiday/Winter Recess Mode here at the Birck Nanotechnology Center (see below for details). We will remain in this reduced operations mode until Tuesday morning, January 2 at which time we will re-enable the hazardous gases and the Toxic Gas Monitoring System, returning the center to full operation. We wish you all a very happy holiday and a relaxing winter break. See you in 2024! Birck Management Staff ___________________ Announcement On behalf of the Birck Leadership Team……. Dear Birck Research Community, The Purdue winter recess begins Friday December 22rd and concludes Tuesday morning, January 2. The university is officially closed during this time. As we have done in past years, the Birck Nanotechnology Center will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the "buddy" system). Following is a description of the Birck center during this period of university closure: 1. All labs and cleanroom will be open. 2. All hazardous gases will be unavailable. 3. Any work with highly dermally toxic materials (25% TMAH, BOE, HF) ABSOLUTELY requires a buddy within eyesight at all times. 4. Precursors for ALD systems will be available. 5. No shipping or receiving is being done at any building on campus. 6. The custodians will not be working so restrooms will not be maintained and waste/trash will not be removed. o We encourage users to keep the facility clean and be extra vigilant about the hygiene. 7. Due to the lack of staffing, any faculty and senior researchers present are encouraged to be more proactive (e.g. occasional walk-throughs checking the labs where there is ongoing research). Email sejurss(a)purdue.edu<mailto:sejurss@purdue.edu> if you notice anything. Since there will be very limited staff support during this winter recess the research groups are strongly encouraged to accomplish as much processing as possible before gases are turned off on Dec. 21. See the following for more detailed information (this will be up on the BNC Wiki): 2023-12-22 to 2024-01-02: Reduced Holiday Operations Due to Purdue’s Winter Recess hazardous gases will be unavailable from 3:30 PM Thursday, December 21st until 8:00 AM on Tuesday, Jan 2nd. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the “buddy” system). Please note the following changes to our normal operation: o ALD sources will remain available • Unavailable gases: • Ammonia (NH3) • Boron trichloride (BCl3) • Chlorine (Cl2) • Dichlorosilane (H2Cl2Si) • Hydrogen (H2) • Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) • Krypton Fluoride (KrF) • Methane (CH4) • Nitric Oxide (NO) • Silane (SiH4) • Trichlorosilane (HCl3Si) • Tools affected: • Reduced capability: o PVD Nitride Sputtering System (NH3 unavailable) o Tube 1 Clean Ox (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Tube 4 Field OX (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Tube 7 General Oxidation (H2 unavailable, dry oxidation only) o Panasonic (Cl2 and BCl3 unavailable) o Plasma-Therm Apex SLR ICP RIE Etcher (H2, Cl2 and BCl3 unavailable) • Shutdown: o Axic PECVD (NH3 & SiH4 unavailable) o Easy Tube 3000 DVD (CH4 unavailable) o Epigress (SiH4 unavailable) o H2S CVD (H2S & H2 unavailable) o Nitric Oxide Anneal (NO unavailable) o Plasma-Therm Apex SLR HDPCVD (SiH4 unavailable) o Tube 2 Nitride (NH3 and HCl3Si unavailable) o Tube 3 LTO (SiH4 unavailable) o Tube 6 Polysilicon (SiH4 unavailable) • Work with highly dermally toxic materials (25% TMAH, BOE, HF) ABSOLUTELY requires a buddy within eyesight at all times. • Custodial staff will not be working. • There will be no restocking of shared use supplies. • There will be no availability of engineering staff to answer questions or repair down equipment. o On metallization tools sources will not be changed and depositions must be < 200 nm. o “Preliminary” reservations that require staff approval will not be approved during this time. Contact Steve Jurss (sejurss(a)purdue.edu<mailto:sejurss@purdue.edu>) with any questions.
