MC2 NanoFabrication laboratory

Cleanrooms often found in processing industry

– electronics, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device industries, food and critical manufacturing environments (semiconductor, biology) and hospitals.

– The only way to control contamination is to control the total environment. Air flow rates and direction, pressurization Temperature Humidity and specialized filtration

Page 10: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

MC2 NanoFabrication laboratory

A cleanroom is laboratory with acontrolled environment, where products are manufactured.

A room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimize the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room and in which the other relevant parameters e.g. temperature, humidity and pressure are controlled as neccessary (ISO 14644-1)

Typical office building contains ca 1 million particles/foot3.

The Federal standard 209E (ISO 14644) is a document that establishes standard classes of air cleanliness for airborne particulate levels in cleanrooms

Classification of particle sizes

Page 14: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

The cleanroom garmentsFiltering function

– Low penetration for particles>0,3my.The garments should be worn properly sealed

Wear resistant– Strong material, wear, laundry resistant

ESD (Electro Static Discharge) safe– Conductive fibres in the hood, cleanroom

suit and boots including the soleComfort

– Breathing material and comfortable fitSize

– Choose the correct size. Too tight garments cause friction and increase particle generation. Too large garments may cause the ”air balloon effect” resulting in excessive release of particles

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

Consider the following when you book equipment

Plan your process steps. Do not book more time than you need.

Make sure that your process step is finished by 18.00, unless you have a backup( see ”lab buddy” system)

Cancel booked time that you do not intend to use. In case somebody do not show up at the booked hour,

another user can take the time after 30 min.Apply a professional attitude to your work, and keep your

booked time strictly. Delays will cause irritation among the subsequent users.

Make sure that you have booked sufficient time for cleanup and resetting the equipment to original state.

Page 38: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

Lab usage

Only authorized users may use the process equipment in the lab. You need a ”drivers licence” forALL tools (including microscopes, wet benches)

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 Safe for the user,Safe for the tool itself Safe for the process running at the tool.

Page 39: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

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”

Page 40: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

Opening hours

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.mc2.chalmers.se/information/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.

Page 41: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean 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 Another approved user is present in the lab (or close by) to assist you in

the event of an accident/emergency Lab-buddies have close contact (not by mobile-telephone) for the system

to work efficiently The backup person must be an experienced lab user, familiar with the

process lab and its safety devices and alarm system.

Risk analysis: Acids

Hydrofluoric acid, HF BOE/BHF, Buffered Oxide

Etch (HF/NH4F)

Sulphuric acid, H2SO4

Nitric acid, HNO3

Hydrochloric acid, HCl

Page 54: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

Risk analysis: Nitric acid, HNO3

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!

Page 55: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean 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 courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

In case of emergency (fire,gas,etc)!

Manual Alarm– Push the knob to evacuationalarm; this also gives an

alarm to Rescue service

– Automatic alarm from fire,gas sensors

Rescue those who are in danger

Evacuate building

Call (00) 112 and inform about;– what has happened– if there are any people locked in– who is calling ( see last page in lab manual)

Page 90: Clean Room Introduction and safety course Welcome to Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2.

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

In case of evacuation alarm!

Put out fire using extinguisherONLY ”if it is possible without danger for your health) and you have the proper training

Use ”Fire choking cloth”

Evacuate from building via emergency exits. Local evacuation officers in house Do not use elevators at evacuation Close doors to minimize smoke spreading Point of assembly after evacuation from MC2

(“VASA square”), wait for further information Do not enter building again unless red alarm

lamps has stopped flashing

Meeting point after evacuation

Preventive actions;

what to know before entering laboratory!?

Look at evacuation plans (”close to exits”) and recognize evacuation exits

At least 2 escape ways from each position!

Chemical Spill;

Isolate the area

Call the lab staff

If possible use absorbing material (is available in cupboard in Processlab )

If you spill chemicals onto yourself, use the emergency showers and let somebody else take care of the items above.

Nanomaterial hazards

Clean Room Introduction and safety courseClean Room Introduction and safety course

Nanomaterials (4.2.8) 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).

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.

A good recommendation is to start reading the following 2 links; (http://membership.acs.org/c/ccs/nano.htm) and the European project Nanosafe (

http://www.nanosafe.org/)

You are strongly encouraged to recommend changes that make the cleanroom facility;safer, cleaner, easier to use, or less expensive to maintain!

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.
