  1. Birck Nanotechnology CenterAll-User Meeting January, 2013

  2. Nano-material Safety • Currently minimal information is available on the acute and chronic effects of exposure • Exposure pathways (airborne and dermal absorption) is poorly understood • New material synthesis

  3. Handling Nano-materials • Reducing potential for exposure: • Work with material is a solution • Double glove • Wear a lab coat • Dry material should be handled in an enclosure

  4. General Housekeeping • Lithography Bay • Cleaning up of spilled material and maintaining equipment in and around the solvent hoods • Fume-hood Etiquette • Please remove trash and • glassware following use

  5. Cleanroom Reminders • Waste Containers • Make sure capped following use • Please make sure halogenated waste is not mixed with non- halogenated waste.

  6. Unlabeled or partially labeled waste containers Bay N- 30% full Bay D – 80% full Bay M – 20% full Partial and unlabelled bottles Container are to have the name of the chemical And the estimated quantity placed in the container

  7. Empty Container Disposal • Proper disposal of empty containers: • Container has been rinsed and semi-dried using a nitrogen gun. Cap has been removed. Disposal label has been applied.

  8. Chemical Inventories and Material Safety Data Sheets Standard Operating Procedures Required Facility Training Engineering Controls Personal Protective Equipment Designated Areas of Use CHP/ RTK Compliance Plan Material Safety Data Sheets BNC 105 BNC 150

  9. MSDS Locations First Floor Locations Second Floor locations Material Safety Data Sheets

  10. MSDS’s at BNC • MSDS manuals in the galleys are organized by lab room number Note: A list of general chemicals with MSDS’s are supplied are listed in the front of the manuals to reduce space and redundancy in the manuals Note: A copy of the Chemical Hygiene Plan, Personal Protective Equipment Policy and Laser Safety Policy is available The chemicals filed numerically and the alphabetically by lab

  11. Emergency Spill Materials • Chemical Spill Carts are available in the galleys for minor (< 1 gallon ) Except for fluorine-based chemicals (i.e. HF, BOE, Ammonium Fluoride). Contact Staff for assistance

  12. 2nd Floor Chemical Spill Cart Locations 1st Floor

  13. Cleanroom Emergency Equipment Spill Carts HF First Aid

  14. HF Decontamination Solution Locations 2nd Floor 1St Floor

  15. Proper Pre-cleaning of Substrates Blow dry with nitrogen gun Decant solvent Decant solvent Toluene Acetone/ trace Toluene IPA or methanol
