The benches can not be used for any function during this time. Wbdiff is having a section of its HF drain line replaced. Wbgaas is having a section of its acid waste line replaced. And the wbnonmetal, wbmetal, wbnitride and wbmiscres' acid drainline is being modified to accept a new drainline for the Thermco, bank 1, furnace's scrubber. Absolutely do not use these benches during the downtime. This is a life safety issue. Thanks, Dick Crane -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <3E553254.4B7BC365@snf.stanford.edu> Hi all -- One of our staff members just witnessed a shocking event: one of our most experienced labmembers was transferring wafers out of a hot pot into a dump rinser, and carrying labwipes underneath to catch acid drips. Needless to say, the labwipes were scorching black. The labmember's reponse was "everyone does this!" I'm writing, because everyone should NOT do this. First safety issue: the labwipes don't protect against acid exposure, particularly if you're only wearing vinyl-over-latex gloves, as this individual was doing. Pirhana loves to eat organic materials, like vinyl, latex and your skin. Second safety issue: Fire hazard. Piranha and other strong oxidizing acids will burn and possibly ignite organic materials, like labwipes. Labwipes that are exposed to hazardous chemicals like piranha should be disposed of properly as hazardous waste (double bagged, and labeled, in yellow hazardous waste bags.) They should not be placed in the trash -- this is like placing a smoking cigarette butt in the trash. This also unnecessarily exposes our custodial staff to chemical hazards. The proper way to transfer wafers from a hot pot to a dump rinser (paraphrasing from operating procedures): 1. Open the dump rinse door. 2. Lift the wafers out of the hot pot. Hold them over the hot pot to allow acid to drip off. 3. Carry the wafers to the dump rinse and place them inside. Let acid drip on the wet bench deck. 4. Close the dump rinse door and press "Start." 5. Use the DI water gun to rinse off acid drips into the plenum. (Do not let acid drips sit on the deck.) 6. Use the N2 gun to blow off excess water. 7. Use wipes to clean off deck, if necessary (do not use wipes to clean off unknown drips -- only water.) Any questions, please contact your friendly neighborhood staff members.

The wafers have a rectangular array of ~2-3mm circles all over them. They are still taking up space in one of the etch boats. Please claim them. Linda W.
