Consider the following when you book equipment l Plan your process steps. Do not book more time than you need. l Make sure that your process step is finished by 18. 00, unless you have a backup( see ”lab buddy” system) l Cancel booked time that you do not intend to use. l In case somebody do not show up at the booked hour, another user can take the time after 30 min. l Apply a professional attitude to your work, and keep your booked time strictly. Delays will cause irritation among the subsequent users. l Make sure that you have booked sufficient time for cleanup and resetting the equipment to original state. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Lab usage l Only authorized users may use the process equipment in the lab. You need a ”drivers licence” for ALL tools (including microscopes, wet benches) l How to acquire an equipment drivers license? ? – The purpose of the drivers license is to make sure that the user is able to handle the tool in a manner that is l Safe for the user, l Safe for the tool itself l Safe for the process running at the tool. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

l The following outline should be applied for complex tools: – Find someone in your group who is already experienced with the tool, and work with him/her until you are both satisfied with your basic handling of the tool. – Once both you and your teacher agree that you are able to work independently with the tool, your teacher should contact the tool responsible and state that you are trained well enough for independent work. Please note that you are under no circumstances allowed to actually work with the tool without supervision without a license. Your teacher must be present at all times during training. – The tool responsible person will give the training needed, and you will be granted the ”driving license” Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Opening hours l Approved users have access to the process laboratories 24 hours a day, all year, with the exeption of certain holidays. When the lab is closed, an announcment is always displayed at http: //processlab. mc 2. chalmers. se/information. html BUT! If you want to use the process laboratory late at night or at other times outside normal working hours (08. 00 -18. 00) you need to use the back-up or lab buddy system Also; new users will automatically only have access during office hours. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Back-up system; ”lab-buddy” ”if there is any risk of accidental personal injury occuring while working alone, then the worker must be assured quick access to help in case of an emergency” When you use the ”lab-buddy” system it is required that l Another approved user is present in the lab (or close by) to assist you in the event of an accident/emergency l Lab-buddies have close contact (not by mobile-telephone) for the system to work efficiently l The backup person must be an experienced lab user, familiar with the process lab and its safety devices and alarm system.

Hazardous Chemicals at MC 2 Nanofabrication Laboratories l l Acids Bases Oxidizers Solvents Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Potential hazards using liquid chemicals 1. Liquid chemicals requires a lot of handling in your work. 2. There are many liquid chemicals used throughout the lab, each with a different set of hazards and precautionary measures required for use. 3. Unconventional use of standard chemicals can present unexpected hazards not associated with normal use in the lab. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS l l l l l Material identification – name, CAS #, formula. Physical data – chemistry (boiling point, solubility etc. ). Hazardous ingredients – TLV (Threshold Limit Value). Fire and explosion data – AIT, LEL, UEL. Health hazard data – overexposure, first aid. Reactivity data – stability, incompabilities. Spill or leak procedures – what steps to take. Special precautions – handling and storage. Emergency phone contact Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Acids l Hydrofluoric acid, HF l BOE/BHF, Buffered Oxide Etch (HF/NH 4 F) l Sulphuric acid, H 2 SO 4 l Nitric acid, HNO 3 l Hydrochloric acid, HCl Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Nitric acid, HNO 3 Nitrous gases are highly toxic – and you can’t smell them! Nitric acid could form ignition at reaction with organic substances (e. g. alcohols), and form highly toxic nitrous gases, especially when heated. Reaction could be explosive. Nitric acid could form ignition at reaction with organic substances! Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: HF and BOE Exposure to diluted HF or BOE can produce harmful health effects that may not be immediately apparent. Diluted HF or BOE penetrates the skin with no immediate pain. And then cause serious tissue and bone damage before pain begins. This attack could be inhibited by treatment with HF-Antidote Gel. Immedately flush the exposed area with water at least one min. Flush well but briefly. It is critical to apply antidote as soon as possible. Carefully remove contaminated clothing at once, wipe dry and apply HF-Antidote Gel to exposed area gently and freely. Aggressively massage the gel into the skin (wearing gloves) and continue to reapply and massage until pain and/or redness disappear or until medical treatment is available. Seek medical attention as soon as possible for all burns regardless of how minor they may appear initially. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

A. A. A. – Always Add Acid into the water rule Do not add water to an acid solution; instead, gradually add the acid to the water. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Bases l Ammonium hydroxide, NH 4 OH l Potassium hydroxide, KOH l Developers: AZ 351 B(Na. OH), MF 312, MF 319… l TMAH (Tetra Methyl Ammonium Hydroxide) could produce toxic nitrous gases! Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Oxidizers l Hydrogen peroxide, H 2 O 2 l Sodium persulfate, Na 2 S 2 O 3 l Ammonium peroxidesulfate, (NH 4)2 S 2 O 8 l Nitric acid, HNO 3 Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Symptoms: Acids, Bases, and Oxidizers After inhalation: Depending on the concentration of the chemical and length of time symptoms may result in corrosive attack on the respiratory passages and lungs. Exposure may produce upper airway oedema, respiratory failure, pulmonary oedema (lung water) and inflammation (pnemonitis). A person may get better but then worse again from 30 hours up to 1 week later. After skin contact: Contact with skin cause redness, pain, blistering, or severe tissue burns. After eye contact: Corrosive to eyes. Symptoms of redness, pain, blurred vision, and permanent eye damage can occur. Possibly delayed (up to one week), possible blindness. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

First aid measures: Acids, Bases and Oxidizers After inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep warm and resting. Get medical attention immediately. Report incident to safety responsible person. After skin contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention in case of symptoms. If skin contact results in severe tissue burns, have someone call 112 for prompt emergency transport while you continue flushing the affected area with water, or have someone to make arrangement for transport to nearest “akutintag”, emergency room unit. After eye contact: Immediately flush thoroughly with water continuously for at least 15 -30 minutes, forcibly hold eye open to ensure effective wash behind eyelids. Get medical attention immediately. Report incident to safety responsible person. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Solvents l Cleaning solvents: Methanol, IPA, acetone. l Resists for optical and e-beam lithography. l Resist removers: Shipley Microposit Remover 1165 (NMP), MEK, DEK, and acetone. l Developers: Toluene, xylene, MIBK, and XP SU-8. l Resist thinners: Anisole, EC-solvent, cyclopentanone, and chlorobenzene. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Solvents There is no safe way of heating up flammables! Because the vapours can travel a considerable distance, the source of ignition can be far away from the flammable container itself. Always make sure that your work bench has 100% exhaustion when working with flammables, and that flammable containers should be restored back to the flammables cabinet immediately after use. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Symptoms: Solvents After inhalation: Can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Prolonged exposure can cause headache, sickness (nausea), confusion, drowsiness, convulsion and coma. After skin contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause irritation, itching, skin dryness or cracking characterised by redness and inflammation. After eye contact: Vapours may cause severe irritation with redness, pain, tearing and inflammation. Splashes may cause eye damage. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

First aid measures: Solvents After inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Report incident to safety responsible person. Get medical attention in case of symptoms. After skin contact: Immediately wash with water and rinse thoroughly. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention in case of symptoms. Report incident to safety responsible person. After eye contact: Immediately flush thoroughly with water continously for at least 15 -20 minutes, with eyelids held wide open during flushing. Get immediate medical attention. Report incident to safety responsible person. Clean Room Introduction and safety course

PPE, Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves l Put chemical protection gloves outside the disposable gloves before you start working with hazardous chemicals at the wet benches. l Inspect your chemical protection gloves carefully. If the gloves are discoloured or damaged, they should be disposed immediately.

Nanomaterial hazards l Nanomaterials (4. 2. 8) l Nanomaterials are applications with morphological features smaller than a one tenth of a micrometer in at least one dimension. Despite the fact that there is no consensus upon the minimum or maximum size of nanomaterials, with some authors restricting their size to as low as 1 to ~30 nm, a logical definition would situate the nanoscale between microscale (0. 1 micrometer) and atomic/molecular scale (about 0. 2 nanometers). l The hazards associated with handling of novel nanomaterials are still under debate, but first of all those new materials are not yet proven to be non-hazardous. We require that our users keep updated on information about the potential risks with their material, and using the appropriate precautions during handling. l A good recommendation is to start reading the following 2 links; l (http: //membership. acs. org/c/ccs/nano. htm) and the European project Nanosafe (http: //www. nanosafe. org/) Clean Room Introduction and safety course

Clean Room Introduction and safety course

l You are strongly encouraged to recommend changes that make the cleanroom facility; safer, cleaner, easier to use, or less expensive to maintain! l When in the cleanroom, be aware of your knowledge limitations. It is extremely important that you ask someone for help if you are unsure about the operation of these facilities. Clean Room Introduction and safety course
