    12. 7/14/2012 12 Clean Gowning Proper attire requires before entering cleanroom: Goggles, bouffant cap, nitrile gloves, shoe covers, gown, boot covers. Safety glasses must be worn at all times! Safety Glasses must comply with OSHA standard: 1910.133 Prescription Safety glasses available through UC Optometry Department Contact lenses discouraged: They can trap abrasive chemicals next to eyes. No sandals, open toe shoes, hi-heels or bare feet. Shorts allowed under full coverall suits.

    13. 7/14/2012 13 General Laboratory Practices Walk, do not run while in the lab. Food or drinks are not allowed in the NanoLab. Cellular phone use is permitted in gowning area and main lab aisle, along west-windows. Use of music players is allowed only in the gowning area only. Visitors are allowed on by pre-approval. Request permission request via: visitor at silicon.eecs.berkeley.edu Always remove your gloves as you exit the laboratory. It is recommended lab users wash their hands after leaving the NanoLab or other Campus labs.

    14. 7/14/2012 14 Eyewash, Showers, Safety Stations

    15. 7/14/2012 15 Use of Safety Stations First aid: Minor injuries can be treated at a Safety Station with a first aid kit. Report all use of the first aid kit on Mercury under equipment named safety. Serious injuries require medical attention. Use 911 from any phone to summon help. If a 911 call is not required lab members should seek treatment at the Tang Student Health Center during open hours or a hospital trauma center, such as Alta Bates Emergency. All injuries requiring treatment must be report to the NanoLab office within 24 hours or, on the following Monday if an injury occurs on a weekend or holiday.

    16. 7/14/2012 16 Chemicals Common chemicals are supplied by the NanoLab. For use in NanoLab ONLY. Chemicals are stored in lab member accessible labeled cabinets throughout the lab. Chemicals are also stored in rolling carts under the sinks. View available chemicals on Mercury.

    17. 7/14/2012 17 Special Chemicals A Special Chemical is a proper name for any chemical not supplied by the NanoLab. Special Chemicals must be approved prior to bringing them into the NanoLab. Approval Process: Obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Email MSDS to Chemical Safety Officer Bill Flounders (bill at eecs.berkeley.edu) and request special chemical review. If approved, when you obtain your chemical, visit the NanoLab office to obtain a red Approved Special Chemical label. Even if previously approved, additional purchases of the same chemical must go through the approval process to maintain up to date chemical inventories. It is recommended that you complete the approval process prior to ordering chemical. Special Chemicals may require special hazardous was disposal methods.

    18. 7/14/2012 18 Transporting Chemicals Lab members are NEVER allowed in the chemical storage areas within the gas vaults, rooms 399 and 599 without staff escort or prior approval. Make sure there are no open bottles of desired chemical already in the area. Use safety carriers to move bottles within the NanoLab. Store opened standard chemicals in designated areas near the sinks. Notify staff if there is no stock of a chemical. Chemical transport between levels is to be minimized: No chemicals are allowed in the lab passenger elevator. Always use bottle carriers in the stairs or the chemical dumb waiter. 18

    19. 7/14/2012 19 Chemical Transport

    20. 7/14/2012 20 Working with Chemicals All wet chemical work must be performed at a NanoLab sink.: You must wear protective equipment (PPE) when working with any chemicals: Chemically resistant gloves, face shield & apron. You must wear chemically-rated gloves, chemical resistant apron and a face shield when working with any chemicals. The only exception to this rule is the tri-polymer chemically resistant gloves are not required when handling small amber bottles of photoresist.

    21. 7/14/2012 21 Working with Chemicals Respirators are not required when working with standard or approved Special Chemicals at NanoLab sinks. NanoLab sinks are annually certified as fume hoods. If your process requires you to handle chemicals outside of a NanoLab sink, review your process with Chemical Safety Officer Bill Flounders. Incidental use of isopropanol, methanol, or acetone squeeze bottles outside of NanoLab sinks is permitted. Cal-OSHA requires all chemical containers to be labeled with their content! 21

    22. 7/14/2012 22 Working with Chemicals Always add acid to water. Exception being Piranha Do not use glassware with HF acid. Ongoing processed must be labeled for chemical content, contact information date and time of return. Place setups toward the back of fume hood where there is maximum exhaust. Clean unidentified spills by: Checking pH with a test strip. If strongly acidic or basic (pH <4 or >10) use a sink hose to flush into the sink. If neutral, mop up with Techni-cloths. All chemicals must be stored in proper containers with the contents identified!

    23. 7/14/2012 23 Dry Chemicals Measure dry chemicals by pouring into weigh boat or weighing paper: Always use a clean spatula if scooping is necessary. Never return chemicals to the source bottle. All chemicals must be labeled and stored in proper containers, i.e. no beakers with foil or unlabeled dry chemicals.

    24. 7/14/2012 24 Storing Chemicals

    25. 7/14/2012 25 Chemical Disposal

    26. 7/14/2012 26 Chemical Bottle Disposal Take empty bottles of drain disposable chemicals to the automated bottle rinse station in 582a. Rinse using the in foot-peddles of the bottle rinse station. Wearing a face shield and gloves. Cross out label with an x and place in bins near the rinse station. Empty bottles of non-drain disposable solvent bottles should be placed in rear of fume hood to allow bottle to dry out, then put in a trash can. Bottles of silicon etch should be washed and placed in marked bin in 582A for refilling.

    27. 7/14/2012 27 Chemical Waste Bottles

    28. 7/14/2012 28 Photoresist & Spin Coatings Residues from spin coating (foil, wipes, etc with photoresist on them) should be disposed of in vented waste cans located near msink1 and msink3. (Photo -Vented Waste Can) 28

    29. 7/14/2012 29 Chemical Exposures Remove the affected clothing. Rinse the exposed areas with water for 15 minutes using a safety shower or eyewash. Notify staff after exposure using the posted Emergency Contact Information. In an emergency, the deck hoses are usually your closest source of water.

    30. 7/14/2012 30 Eye Exposure If eyes are exposed: Flush eyes for at least15 minutes NOT LESS! Use an eye-wash. Sinks have DI deck guns which can be used followed by an eye wash. Contact staff for assistance or cal 911. Follow up eye exposures with visit to a medical professional. All eye exposures require a follow up visit to Tang Center or a hospital emergency room. Lab members should assist a colleague in the event of an eye exposure! 30

    31. 7/14/2012 31 HF Burns HF acts as an anesthetic, you may not feel the burn until damage is already done. If exposed: Remove affected clothing, flush with cold water for 15 minutes. Massage calcium gluconate ointment from safety stations onto exposed area. Notify staff after exposure, using posted Emergency contact information.

    32. 7/14/2012 32 TMAH TMAH is used as photoresist developer It is hazardous by ingestion, inhalation, skin exposure or eye contact. Exposure to concentrations > 15% may cause respiratory or heart failure. Flush expose area with water for 15 minutes. Notify staff after exposure, using posted Emergency contact information.

    33. 7/14/2012 33 Chemical Spills During staff hours, contact a staff member. Contain spills using the Spill Containment Kit available at Safety Stations. Contact staff for assistance using the posted emergency contact information posted at every phone. Final spill cleanup must be done by trained staff certified for spill cleanup.

    34. 7/14/2012 34 Toxic Metals General practices for handling metals: Consider all metal dust as potentially hazardous Minimize quantities Protect bench top with disposable covers. Confine material as you work Change gloves when leaving the area Solutions used for etching of toxic materials requires proper disposal Confine dust - use dampened lab wipes to collect metal dust Contact staff for proper disposal of cleaning materials contaminated with toxic metals Mechanical cleaning should be done with fume hood at 200 ft per minute face velocity and a HEPA vacuum Do not use N2 blowoff guns - use a HEPA vacuum New evaporation sources or sputter targets must be reviewed as Special Chemicals

    35. 7/14/2012 35 Work with Gallium Arsenides or other highly toxic metals must first be reviewed with Bill Flounders! Follow the same procedures as outlined for: SPECIAL CHEMICALS 35

    36. 7/14/2012 36 Sharps & Dangerous Objects Dispose broken glassware in yellow trash pails labeled broken glass. Dispose Si wafers in the blue Si wafer recycle bins. Dispose needles, razor blades, and other sharp objects in red SHARPS bins. Mercury thermometers are banned from the lab. Contact lab staff in event of a mercury spill. Batteries and electronic waste disposal is via the NanoLab office to assure proper disposal.

    37. 7/14/2012 37 Cylinder Gases Lab members are not allowed to handle compressed gas cylinders. Corrosive and Toxic Gases are kept in the dedicated gas vaults, room 399 and 599. Gases are stored in ventilated steel gas cabinets. Toxic Gases are monitored by the Toxic Gas Monitoring system, which will shut them off at source if leak is detected or if HAZMAT alarm is pulled. Lab members are NEVER allowed in the gas and chemical storage areas, rooms 399 and 599 without staff escort or prior approval.

    38. 7/14/2012 38 Radiation Sources Lasers are banned without the approval of Bill Flounders (bill at eecs.berkeley.edu). More information on safe use of lasers at http://nanolab.berkeley.edu/factsheets/74lasersafety.pdf Ionizing Radiation is produced at the scanning electron microscopes and the x-ray diffractometer. Those working in the presence of these machines must read the UCs Radiation Safety Guidelines for Non-Users.

    39. 7/14/2012 39 Cryogens Review EH&S Cryogen fact Sheet before working with cryogens. Liquid Nitrogen is stored in vacuum jacketed cylinders called dewars. Hazards are from freezing burns and asphyxiation due to sudden oxygen depletion. Wear gloves and goggles when transferring to a smaller container. Use care to avoid spills to minimize damage to the floor in the lab.

    40. 7/14/2012 40 Flooding in the Lab Search for the source of the leak and turn off the supply valve. Use the squeegees located in the freight elevator vestibule area to direct most water to floor drain. Use the wet vacuum located in the freight elevator vestibule area to vacuum up any remaining water from the floor. Notify a staff member and report the incident on Mercury as a problem under facilities.

    41. 7/14/2012 41 Electrical Safety Report all electrical issues to staff. In event of electrocution, shutoff the power sources at the east end of each chase. Use of power strips is regulated in the lab, see Staff. Never use the ON/OFF, EMO or EPO buttons to reboot tools. Such functions are for emergencies. The use of ON/OFF, EMO/EPO functions runs the risk of equipment damage. 41

    42. 7/14/2012 42 Lock out, Tag out If an equipment is labeled red (fatal) in Mercury, do not attempt to use it or energize it in any way. Watch for Engineer Photo ID tags on equipment and follow the instructions on these tags.

    43. 7/14/2012 43 Fire Prevention and Response Use care with heat lamps or when heating flammable solvents: Use only digitally controlled hot plates. Always use a water bath to transfer heat. In event of fire: Fire extinguishers are clean room approved. Fire extinguishers are located throughout the lab and near every door. You are not expected to fight fires. Use a fire extinguisher only if you are feel safe doing so. You are expected to Notify, Evaluate, Evacuate. If clothes are involved use a safety shower.
