From mtang at snf.stanford.edu Mon Jun 2 12:11:25 2003 From: mtang at snf.stanford.edu (Mary Tang) Date: Mon, 02 Jun 2003 12:11:25 -0700 Subject: Restricted Lab Access References: <3ED64AD0000013DB@mta8.wss.scd.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <3EDBA15D.D7F9DB93@snf.stanford.edu> Bob -- I'm writing this note to summarize our conversation this morning. As we discussed, the staff members at SNF have serious concerns about your lab habits. There have been repeated complaints about neglecting to log information at the furnaces and apparent miscommunication between you and staff members about your use of the furnaces. Such procedural issues are a matter of courtesy to others; we are a lab community and communicating information is essential to keep the equipment available and running. Even more seriously, there has also been a complaint about unsafe use of a wet bench after hours. Safety is our primary concern in the lab, and this complaint requires immediate attention. For the month of June, your access to the lab is hereby restricted between the hours of 7 and 7 pm, Monday through Friday. You are not use the lab after hours or on weekends. Please do not regard this restriction as "punishment." The purpose of this restriction is to ensure that you are using the lab while there is staff coverage. You should take this opportunity to ask staff and other expert labmembers questions. You should ask them to check your work or watch you work. You should ask them to explain equipment use and even request re-training in areas that you do not feel comfortable. The SNF is an educational insitution, we want you to encourage you to become educated in safe and courteous use of the lab. Understand that any known violation of lab or safety procedures and any failure to adhere to the schedule can and will result in loss of lab privileges. This restriction does not address retraining issues, if any, that are under discussion. You must address these problems with the individual staff member concerned. At the end of the month, we will reevaluate your lab habits and if everything is acceptable, you will be allowed full access to the lab. I am copying the process staff on this email, so that they will be especially attentive to your questions and helping you this month. Mary -- Mary X.

Catered by Pizza Chicago. Mike would like to talk about REU's. We'll also talk about projects. Mary -- Mary X.

Bob101. John has agreed to take him off all qualification lists. He and his elusive boss will be having a chat with us today. Until further notice, he should not be working in the lab. 2. REU's. Mike presented the schedule. - Nancy and Maurice kindly agreed to host the lab tours which, in addition to the normal safety features, will also include more of an intro to equipment (students will have met with their mentors and might have an idea of which tools they will use; they will have also viewed Silicon Run and should thus have passing familiarity with basic classes of tools.) - There are two 1/2 day sessions on "Lab and Cleanroom Practices". Now, we need to define what those "Practices" should be and how we can present them. The laundry list of skills is listed below. Everyone: please review the list and add your suggestions/comments (I suggest making a checklist of info students should know.) - Say, do you all think we have enough time to put together a safety test to try out on these students? 3. Budget. Jane had a few words on our financial health. - Two more companies have died this month and may have left us with unpaid bills. Everyone: please keep an ear to the ground -- if you hear any rumours of impending demise of any companies, let Jane know so she can follow up. - The affiliates program is going to be launched, hopefully this summer. Please help brainstorm ideas that will encourage companies to join up. *********************** Lab and Cleanroom Practices: 1. Contamination control (why and what [sodium and other alkali metals, heavy metals], personal habits [not touching the face, always walking slowly, use of sneezeguards, gloved fingers do not equal tweezers, etc], equipment groups, new materials/new processes policy.) 2. Gowning [video?] (especially cover: what is acceptable to bring into the cleanroom, double-glove policy) 3. Types of tweezers 4. Types of substrates (features of a silicon wafer, other substrates used in the lab) 5. Wafer handling (how to transfer wafers in cassettes using tweezers/vacuum wand; roll transfer) 6. How to use a microscope -- Mary X.

The "Advanced Etch and Cleaning" looks interesting, as does "Fundamentals of MEMS Design and Fab" (for those who didn't take it last year), "Intro to DOE", and some of the process area-specific courses (if you already work in these area, they probably aren't useful, but if you don't, they might be.) http://www.pti-inc.com/ Let me know if you're interested -- there's a discount if five or more classes are registered.

References: <3ED64BAF00005255@mta12.wss.scd.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <3EE0AD67.A369DBC6@snf.stanford.edu> Thanks Mike -- Just to reaffirm the outcome of our discussion. 1. Bob Hou will be taking a "vacation" from the SNF lab, for at least two weeks. 2. When he returns, he will be under the supervision of a knowledgeable labmember. The labmember may be one of the independent contractors known to us at SNF, or someone else from your organization. If it's someone from your organization, this person will need to be qualified and have some time to become familiar with the lab, before supervising Bob's activities. Please inform us of who will be working with Bob -- understand that this person will have full responsibility for his actions in the lab. When everything is in order, we will reactivate Bob's account. Regards, Mary -- Mary X.

It's sort of like what they have you sign when you visit a health club. The purpose of the form is to: 1. convey the fact that SNF is a working lab, not a Disneyworld tour; 2. let SNF staff keep tabs on who's bringing visitors to the lab (and to make sure that the sponsoring labmember is someone who actually knows the lab, not just the CEO who took the intro-to-safety training six months ago...) I was thinking that we could just have a stack of these forms outside Janine's office or maybe even the lab, so that we could encourage everyone to go through this review process...

Nancy and Maurice very kindly volunteered to cover the lab/equipment tours. But we still need to plan out the "Lab Practices" sessions. Last year we covered the following: 1. Gowning 2. Tweezers 3.

I've taken the liberty of writing up a checklist, based on the list above, so that we should be reasonably consistent about what's covered, no matter who teaches. Could you all please look over the list and make any additions or changes as you see fit, and then re-send it out to everyone? Uli and Mahnaz: Did you do "All-Litho" as well during the lab practices session? What do you think about doing this again? Personally, I think this may be an overwhelming amount of information for the students to handle in a half-day. However, I think it might be really useful for them to see a wafer get spun up, exposed, and developed, and then be able to inspect it under a microscope. What does everything think about this?

Remember, the exhibition is free and you can register at www.semi.org/semiconwest -- if you register by June 27, you'll get a badge in the mail (and a lot of other ^*&% since they sell your contact info, but at least it's all semiconductor-related.) If you register on-site, it's $50, so it's best to do it beforehand, even if you're not sure you're going to go. If you do decide to go, please be prepared to tell us what you learned at our next process staff meeting. It is also best to attend with a mission in mind. I'd suggest visiting: Booths of vendors with any relatively new equipment we have: (Karl Suss, EV Group, Applied Mat, Raith) Booth of vendors with any equipment we'd like to have: (CMP, electrochemical processing [electroplating, electroless deposition, porous silicon], used equipment vendors, analytical equipment, etc...) Come to think of it, once you cover these, there's not a lot left... Oh, but there is a MEMS Pavilion that I hope someone decides to check out. And there's the SEMI theatre, which I think is showing educational films -- we might be able to pick up a few tips (maybe some free videos, by showing a Stanford card?) Let me know if you plan on attending -- we'll need to ensure we've got everything covered. Thanks, Mary -- Mary X.

I'll check with Mike to make sure that Bob was accompanied. I think we should just keep a close eye on Bob and if we see anything out of line, we call Mike on it.

I am process manager at SNF and coordinate training in our lab. Although we do appreciate having researchers with previous experience come to our lab, we also want you to understand that our safety and equipment training classes are a requirement. Because we are an open, flexible environment, many of the safety and policy rules we have are quite different than what you may find at other facilities. Thus, you are not exempt from this requirement. The next safety training class is scheduled for Monday, July 14. There is lots of space still available, if your paperwork is in order. Any equipment training must be scheduled with the responsible staff person for the equipment you need, after your safety training. You will also receive your Coral login after the safety training.
