It's Friday (tomorrow!) Dec. 2, from 1-3 pm. This will be in the Allen building, just outside the yellow window area of the lab. Enjoy snacks, traditional games (the famous "wafer toss"), create your own silicon wafer ornament, and just spend some time reconnecting before heading off for the holidays. Stop on by for an afternoon break (generously sponsored by the CIS Affiliates.) Your CIS party committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The new tool is on the table close to EPI for now, this will be temporary. I wrote a quick instruction and is taped to the table, add to it if I have missed anything. The bags are in a blue tray and bigger so two box of wafers can be sealed easily. please note that bags are special order and should not be used for other things. mahnaz From edmyers at stanford.edu Mon Dec 5 10:14:13 2011 From: edmyers at stanford.edu (Ed Myers) Date: Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:14:13 -0800 Subject: Fwd: Imina Technologies miBots Nanomanipulation Workshop In-Reply-To: <4EC4036B.3010206@stanford.edu> References: <4EC4036B.3010206@stanford.edu> Message-ID: <4EDD09F5.5030909@stanford.edu> Starting now... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Imina Technologies miBots Nanomanipulation Workshop Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:39:39 -0800 From: Ed Myers To: labmembers at snf.stanford.edu CC: tomlevesque424 at gmail.com, dankleinen at aol.com The SNF Staff in conjunction with Imina Technologies is pleased to present: NANOMANIPULATION WORKSHOP Monday December 5, 2011 The miBots? are coming! Do you have a need for manipulation or sensing small samples in a microscope? If so, we invite you to see these novel nanopositioners for yourself at the Stanford NanoFabrication Facility in a FREE, hands-on workshop on December 5th in the Paul Allen Building, Auditorium Room 101X. Designed especially for light microscopy, SEMs and FIBs, these affordable, easy-to-use mini robots are virtually untethered and free to move independently, opening new vistas for manipulation and testing at the macro, micro, or nanoscale. Working individually or in groups, the miBot? uses a variety of tools such as grippers, probes, and optical fibers so that, in addition to manipulating the sample, they can illuminate a nano workspace and conduct force or electrical measurements. Robust, mechanically and thermally stable, and vacuum-ready, these tiny trojans are a great, customizable solution for maneuvering and testing cells, nanostructures, semiconductor devices, LEDs, and MEMs. miBots will be working in the Paul Allen Building, Auditorium Room 101X from 10 AM till Noon. For more information, or to register for workshop, click here http://imina.ch/events/registration-form-workshops-california-december-2011. Imina will contact you in the week before the workshop to confirm and provide a map and directions. Want to learn more? Visit us at www.imina.ch or give Tom Levesque a call at (972) 318-0196.

Message-ID: <4EE064D7.2030004@stanford.edu> Hi all -- The critical permits have been approved so construction is officially underway. The permit approvals were one of the key risk factors in this project, so things are moving well and are on schedule. Just a few reminders: 1. Make sure to remove all your personal items from the lab. ALL of them. Remove them from bins, from WIP racks, from shared storage. If someone you know isn't aware of this, please make sure they are informed -- we will be losing about 1/3 of the bins in the lab to make way for new equipment and stockroom supplies, so we will be revamping the lab bin process. To start fresh, everyone will need to clear out all the bins -- and rollarounds, and shelves, etc. Any personal items left in the lab will be removed by Staff. We will store the items but please understand we can't be responsible for possible loss or damage. 2. The last day the lab is open is Wednesday, 12/14/11. Because we have to make the lab safe for construction, many tools will be brought down before this date, as toxic gas lines need to be purged, wet bench drains need to be flushed, all small tools will be removed from the lab. A schedule for individual tool shutdowns has been posted to the SNF website -- but be aware that dates may change as we get nearer to the time. Please refer to the schedule, but check on Coral for details. Finally, thank you for your patience -- we realize this renovation is inconvenient for you all -- meaning your help and cooperation are that much more appreciated -- Thanks again - Your SNF Staff From mahnaz at stanford.edu Thu Dec 8 15:28:40 2011 From: mahnaz at stanford.edu (Mahnaz Mansourpour) Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:28:40 -0800 Subject: we will get more Developer Message-ID: <4EE14828.3080109@stanford.edu> All, Try to make it through to night, Gary and Mario just added the last bottles of developers to canisters. we ordered 4 cases of developer, that is equivalent to 16 more gallons.

There is flow, but the temperature is high. It is also possible that there are irregularities in flow. Tools using cooling water will not function if temperature and flow are not within certain limits and will stop processing. Facilities believes the problem will be resolved within a couple of hours. In the meantime, we have several reports of tools with turbo and RF failure. The ASML will not reboot. These are all likely due to the cooling water problem. Once the water is brought back into spec, most tools will reset themselves. In the meantime, please do not override or clear errors, or reboot tools that make use of cooling water -- the tools are protecting themselves. Thanks, Your SNF staff From mtang at stanford.edu Sat Dec 10 23:27:11 2011 From: mtang at stanford.edu (Mary Tang) Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:27:11 -0800 Subject: Cooling water update Message-ID: <4EE45B4F.9030000@stanford.edu> Dear labmembers -- The campus cooling water system is still being repaired. We've been told it may be a few more hours. The campus cooling loop tempers the building and lab air, so you will have noticed the lab getting quite warm. Our building loop is cooled by the campus loop; we are now running equipment using city water in the building loop. The temperature is better now, but the pressure is much lower than most tools would like, so some new equipment errors may arise. The high water temperature appears to have caused our building loop to spring a few significant leaks in the basement. So, there are concerns that pressurizing our building loop may result in a flood. We are scheduling additional Facilities and SNF staff in on Sunday morning to be on-hand when the building loop is turned back on. In short, tools with process cooling water problems will remain down for the evening. We hope to be in a good position to restart tools in the morning. Our apologies for the inconvenience, especially coming so close to the shutdown. Please have patience as we all work through this. Your SNF staff -- Mary X.

(1) Do a trial run with your system first to know you can control the temp of the water jacket accurately. This is important for maintaining both temp and pressure, which can effect end results. (2) Always try to let your gels sit overnight, and if possible in an oven near 40-60 degrees C, to thoroughly form any bonds that are available and complete the gelation. (3) Depending on the gel your trying to dry, it may require several hours of ethanol soaking to replace the water. I have learned that many times it is necessary to move up in EtOH concentration in step changes, starting near 10-20% and moving up to 200 proof. this could take 2 or 3 days. This may apply more to my system than your own and only some of my gels have been successful, they have alot of glycerol in them, but this is what I have learned thus far. I hope it helps. -Travis From shott at stanford.edu Wed Dec 28 10:16:13 2011 From: shott at stanford.edu (John Shott) Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:16:13 -0800 Subject: critical point dryer In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4EFB5CED.5030203@stanford.edu> Joo Yong: If you are asking for who has a critical point dryer in the Bay Area, I'm pretty certain that our friends at UC Berkeley have a Tousimis unit that is very similar to ours. Let me know if you need contact information over there.
