Previous message thread July 25, 06 Previous message thread March 15, 06 Every Friday before I leave for the weekend, I check the PMMA and Ebeam resist supplies in the Cleanroom. I checked the PMMA's supplies in the SNF Cleanroom at 5 PM last Friday and there was ~ 30 ml or more of 5% 495K PMMA in anisole remaining in that bottle. This is enough for 20 - 25 wafers! There was also a spare 75 - 100 ml of 5% 495K PMMA in anisole remaining in an additional bottle with my name on it for emergency back up. Saturday evening Hemanth came in the Lab to discover a empty 5% 495K PMMA in anisole and that the spare bottle was also missing. A search of the lab did not recover the missing bottle and I can only now surmise that it was taken out of the SNF cleanroom. We have also consumed nearly a liter of 5% 495K PMMA over the course of the last month. A 250 ml bottle of 5% 495K PMMA in anisole would last two to three months in normal usage as per our past PMMA inventory logs. Recently this volume has been consumed in a week to ten days! There have not been nearly enough exposures in the Ebeam lab to account for this level of usage of PMMA! Clearly it is being handled inappropriately by untrained users, being wasted as some users may be not using syringes to dispense these materials, or simply be taken from the SNF cleanroom. I have just restocked the last remaining 250 ml bottle of 5% 495K PMMA in anisole into the cleanroom. I ordered the last supply source bottle 7-25-06 and it shipped last Wednesday. We may run out of PMMA before it arrives -- if users are not following proper dispense methods established for the lab. ALL Users are requested to review the Ebeam resist handling procedures to review the proper methods to handle these materials. ALL Users are instructed to be frugal in their usage of these materials, make an effort at all times to minimize waste, and never are any chemicals or engineering materials to be taken out of the SNF cleanroom for any purpose whatsoever. This will be the third and last warning I will make on this topic: If usage of PMMA materials does not return to normal acceptable levels -- I will change the method in which we supply and control the usage of these expensive engineering materials and will require all users to check out each volume of material individually and at greater expense to all lab members. Users as a Community are also requested to be vigilant observers and are instructed to report any User who is taking material from the SNF Cleanroom and/or not dispensing the material properly using syringes on the spinners. You suggestions are welcomed.

This last week, five times, users have come to me unable to find a specific resist, or thought it was all used up, when in fact it was either in the solvent carts abandoned in the lab or replaced into the lab members chemical storage cabinet. Please remember to also clean up after yourselves after working on the coater and hot plate benches. Users continuing this behavior will be conscripted into COMMUNITY SERVICE! Last week Two users were 'volunteered' for Two Hours each for leaving resist chemicals out overnight on the headway bench. Users wishing to perform 'community service' for the benefit of the lab only need to ask Mahnaz or James for task to be completed. Thank you for your support! James Conway NO I am not here to spend my day cleaning up after you! Next time I might call your Mother! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Resist Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 15:50:31 -0700 From: Mahnaz Mansourpour Organization: SNF To: Lab Hello all, In order to work in a lab the size of our lab, one has to be vigilant, patient, and extremely careful so things can work for majority of the lab rmemeber....so here is what I am trying to get across... When you change a resist bottle on the track make sure that you are putting the correct bottle in and has to be a brand new bottle. Left over bottles should not be used at all. If is late in the evening, or middle of the night and new bottles of what ever resist is not available then either shut down the track or yellow light it and put a big sign on the track ( I like this one better) . We have been getting a lot of inconsistency on 3612 front track and the bottle was questionable with regards of the look of the bottle, most of the lettering on the bottle was gone , Hand written 3612 was on it.....please pay attention when you change the bottle and follow the rule , you owe that to yourself and every one that uses the track after you. Secondly , when you are using a resist that needs refrigeration and some how the resist disappear from the cart or some one takes it back ( as a good will) , it is your responsibility to make sure that the resist end up in the refrigerator. Materials are much more expensive than every one thinks so please use your judgment and if some one is doing something wrong take a few minutes and explain things and if not sure ask your friendly staff. Thanks mahnaz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
