Preface

The use of this document is for the University of Rochester Nanofabrication

URnano faculty and staff enforce all means necessary to keep the laboratory clean

and safe for all users. Common sense is a good policy, but rules cannot cover all

types of situations. Consult with a staff member if regulations do not seem to apply

to a situation. It is the responsibility of all URnano users to act professionally,

courteously, and safely in the facility. Violations of safety regulations and policies

will result in remedial action and/or a loss of privileges.

OSHA and UR-EH&S require The University of Rochester to properly train and

educate laboratory users. This manual, along with the parallel lab safety

training session, is designed to act as the URnano Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)

and Orientation guide. For more details contact the Safety Coordinator.

General Procedures

Introduction

These safety-oriented procedures seek to create a safe working environment at the

University of Rochester Nanofabrication Facility. In this environment, all laboratory

users are aware of proper safety practices and follow them consistently. This will

reduce the frequency and severity of incidents. Incidents will occur despite all of our

best efforts; when they do, following proper procedures can contain the incidents,

preventing it from escalating to an accident where people are injured and/or property is

damaged. The machines and materials in this laboratory can be very hazardous. As

such, in the event of a major accident the entire building is at risk.

Safety procedures emphasize individual responsibility for each piece of equipment and

type of material. They also allow the Safety Coordinator to document user practices and

any changes in laboratory procedures that have an impact on overall safety.

THE BUDDY SYSTEM:

a. Rule # 1: All users working in the cleanroom must have another

trained user (their "buddy") inside or in the vicinity of the cleanroom

at all times.

Undergraduates MUST have a buddy, who is not another

undergraduate, with them IN the cleanroom at all times. In

addition, undergraduate status at UR or any other institution will be

the defining designation of a URnano user independent of any other

classification (i.e. corporate employee, summer employee/intern,

etc). Any additional cost in meeting this buddy requirement

will be borne by the undergraduate’s PI or applicable department

head/dean.

b. Rule # 2: Anyone working in the wet chemical bench or other

“designated dangerous” area (e.g. ALD, CVD, RIE, RTP) the buddy must

be inside the clean room, aware of your situation, and close enough

to be of assistance if you have an accident.

c. Rule #2 does not apply to the use of the Lithography Benches. You

may spin resist, develop patterns, and strip resist using the standard

solvents and developers in the Litho area without a buddy present

inside the clean room. You must still follow rule # 1.

d. Never work alone in the cleanroom, always ensure that your buddy

knows where you are working inside the laboratory, and check on

work partners regularly.

USE THE MSDS:

Materials Safety Data Sheets are available for all cleanroom materials.

These sheets provide all necessary information for proper material

handling, usage, and disposal. These sheets are available in the Gowning

Room.

GET TRAINED:

Before using any cleanroom bays or equipment you must be trained for

that specific area or tool. NEVER use a tool or area if you have not

received the proper URnano training session.

BE PROFESSIONAL:

All users of the URnano are expected to adhere to the utmost standards

of professional conduct. This includes reporting of unsafe equipment,

areas, situations or activities to the Safety Coordinator.

Lab Access

Cleanroom access is through the main gowning entrance (anteroom) only. These

doors are locked from the outside at all times; you must have a valid user ID to gain

entry with the card access system. Users must complete the Safety/Orientation

training prior to receiving access. University of Rochester users can present a

current ID number (using the account setup forms which are in the Appendix) to the

Admin Staff to have their card activated. Non-UR users will be issued an URnano ID

card by the Admin Staff.

SWIPE IN / SWIPE OUT: All users are required to swipe the card reader to the left of

the anteroom to unlock the door. When you’re done and want to exit the cleanroom,

swipe the inside card reader to unlock the door. If you do not to swipe your card

when you exit you will trigger an alarm. Swiping your card also stops the user-

session clock. The emergency button is to be used only for emergency situation exiting.

GOWNING PROCEDURE: People tend to be the dirtiest item in any cleanroom,

hence all entrance into the cleanroom requires gowning up to prevent

contamination of the area. Failure to gown up will not only compromise the area

but will also void any credentials you have for entering the cleanroom. The correct

procedure is as follows:

1. Leave overcoats on hooks in the hallway

2. Boots and dirty shoes should be exchanged for other footwear as

appropriate.

3. Remove any jewelry or other accessories that would prevent further

gowning

4. Enter anteroom using swipe-card. Walk on tacky mat to remove as much

shoe dust as possible.

5. Locate your reusable cleanroom attire or find disposables in your size

6. Don hairnet and cover all hair

7. Sit on bench facing door to hallway and place booties on, swinging each

bootied foot over the bench to the clean side of the room

8. Don cleanroom suit

9. Don beard-bag if you have more than one day’s growth of facial hair

10. Don gloves

11. Verify all garments are properly situated and covering all clothing and skin

12. Enter cleanroom

TAILGATING: No user is allowed to follow someone into (or out of) the Cleanroom

without swiping his or her ID card. If a user is caught tailgating, he or she will lose

access to the Cleanroom. If the user has not completed the requirements

necessary to gain access to the cleanroom or if the user bypassed the URnano safety

training, the user shall also lose access to the cleanroom.

USING ANOTHER USERS CARD: Anyone who uses someone else’s ID card to

gain access to the cleanroom will lose forfeit their own access as well as the lender’s.

NOTIFICATION: If you should ever lose your ID please notify one of the Admin

staff assistants immediately.

One final note: By registering your ID with the URnano to gain access to the Cleanroom,

you are stating you will comply with the above rules.

Calendaring Tool

The URnano calendar portal PPMS is used for access and control of the facility. This

system will be taught to users at the orientation/safety training session.

https://ppms.us/urmc/

Materials Handling and Use

ORDERING: Staff members order all materials purchased for use at URnano only.

Students or users must have a staff member order any needed materials. The

URnano regularly stocks materials that are commonly used in the lab. The Safety

Coordinator must approve special requests and materials before orders are placed.

Prior to approval an MSDS and Materials Handling Form must be provided before

the material can be used in the facility. Failure to comply will result in a loss of

privileges. (Materials Handing Form available from safety coordinator, copy located

at the end of this manual.)

STORAGE: Materials may be stored in or out of the lab at the URnano depending on

availability and location of the appropriate storage housing. The Safety Coordinator

must approve individual or special materials, and then storage space will be assigned.

Personal storage containers must also be approved prior to use in the lab.

USAGE: Users are responsible for safe use of materials in the lab. When using

materials, know it’s hazards and properties; consult a MSDS if you do not. Use proper

quantities, do not try to hurry. Always use appropriate equipment, fume hoods,

protective clothing and proper tools. (See Chapter 6-H for more information on

Personal Protective Equipment.)

DISPOSAL: The Safety Coordinator has established areas for storage of waste

material. Users must label any container and ensure it is compatible and clean before

using for waste. Waste containers must be labeled as such and the contents

indicated with the full name, no abbreviations or symbols. Labels are provided for

chemical waste containers. If you have compatibility questions please contact the

Safety Coordinator for assistance. Also check to ensure there is not already a

container started for your material. Place containers in the designated Secondary

Containment area and Staff will remove full containers for disposal. Biological or

Radioactive materials must be approved prior to use in the lab as waste concerns are

different for these materials. All users must take the Chemical Waste Training session

provided during the annual Lab Safety Training by UR EH&S.

MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheets): A MSDS provides all specifications, hazards,

precautions and safety concerns for a given material. All materials used in the lab

must have MSDS in the binder located in the gowning room. On-line copies are kept

on file as well. If you have questions on a material consult these sources prior to

use. Materials handling requires common sense and knowledge of any specific

dangers associated with a given material.

Equipment

TRAINING and USAGE: Prior to using any lab equipment, all users must attend an

equipment training session with a URnano Engineer. The training sessions vary in length

and in the materials covered. They are specific sessions designed by the engineer to

ensure you can use the equipment safely and productively. After successful completion,

you may use the equipment freely, noting that equipment must be reserved using the

Calendaring Tool.

Using a tool in the Nanofab, you have a responsibility to know what you are doing. If

you have any questions on sample/substrate types, recipes, or special processing

conditions, please ask the tool’s Primary Engineer for help.

Incidents and Accidents

Introduction: Following standard operating procedures may keep incidents from

becoming accidents. Incidents and accidents must be reported to assess the causes and

to provide opportunity to make needed changes to prevent reoccurrence.

Reporting: Users will avoid incidents and accidents by following proper procedures.

In the event of an incident or accident you must immediately report it to the Safety

Coordinator or a member of URnano staff. You are required to report any and all

incidents or accidents in the cleanroom. The Safety Coordinator will investigate all

incidents, with the purpose of finding a way to prevent the same incident from

happening again. Even small incidents must be reported. Even if you witness an incident

or accident, report it. Failure to report an incident or accident will result in a loss of lab

privileges. If you have any question on how to respond to an incident, contact the Safety

Coordinator.

Emergencies: When bodily injuries are part of an incident, students are to take

appropriate immediate action and then go to either the Emergency Department at

Strong Memorial Hospital or to University Health Service (UHS) either on River

Campus or at the Hospital

After Hours/Emergency Numbers: Each phone in the URnano lists emergency

numbers.

Violations of Safety Procedures:

1st Violation – Warning

2nd Violation - Additional Safety Training. PI or supervisor will be notified

3rd Violation - Suspension from Lab. PI or supervisor will be notified.

Safety Coordinator will review all violations and recommend further action as needed.

General Chemical Usage

Rules: Most chemicals for use in the cleanroom are provided. If you need a new

chemical that is not provided, you must have approval from the Safety Coordinator

before bringing the chemical to the facility. The Appendix of this manual contains the

Materials Handling Form; you must provide a complete MSDS and a Materials Handling

Form prior to bringing, or using the new chemical in the Nanofab. Unknown chemicals

will be disposed of.

Standard chemical etching, cleaning, and processing are to be done only in the Wet

Bench area only!

The lithography area is only for photosensitive materials processing.

Safety Glasses are required at all times! (Prescription glasses are not safety glasses)

When using any chemicals, they must be used in fume hoods for proper ventilation,

except for spray bottles containing water or solvents for general cleaning.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When using chemicals make sure you are

properly protected. What you should wear is as follows:

Level l:General lab use, spray bottles and/or Lithography. Lab gloves and Safety

Glasses (Chemical Gloves recommended for lithography solvents)

Level 2:Use of Chemicals in Wet Bench Area Chemical gloves, Face Shield, Apron

PPE should be inspected for damage before and after use. Do not wear, or put back

PPE that is damaged; throw it away! Contact the Safety Coordinator for new PPE if

needed.

Chemical Containers: When moving chemicals to the bench top, ensure that

containers have secure lids. Glass bottles should be transported in the polypropylene

bottle carriers. Be sure to check that there are no bottles of your needed chemical

before opening new ones. When pouring out chemicals, never pour a chemical back

into the original container, this will contaminate the chemical and make it unusable.

Glassware and plasticware in the wet bench area are to be rinsed and dried after each

use and prior to returning it to the storage shelf. Gloves and other protective

equipment also must be rinsed and dried.

Broken lab glass is to be cleaned up by the person who broke it. It is to be

placed in a white container marked LAB GLASS.

Any container or chemical in use must be labeled with the supplied labels, regardless

of whether you are monitoring the material or not! Label with your full name, date,

time, and type of material.

If you must leave a container out of sight or unattended, the container must have a lid.

Leaving chemicals unattended without the proper label or lid is a direct lab violation.

Chemicals that need to be left for more than 24 hours or overnight must have a note

stating the date and time the material will be left unattended.

Special mixtures must be approved prior to mixing or use by the Safety Coordinator.

Special labels are used to ensure that proper approval has been given.

Hot plates must be monitored at all times during use.

Disposal/Clean-up: All chemical waste in the cleanroom must be disposed of in

containers. No chemicals will be dumped down the drain. Rinse-Water is the only

liquid allowed in the drain other than normal DI-Water. Supply bottles are reused as

similar-type waste bottles, but only PLASTIC BOTTLES! Hazardous waste labels are

provided on the storage shelf, and must be filled out in full with the complete

chemical name, no brand names or formulas. Place the waste label over the

original bottle label. Check to see that a chemical does not have a waste container

before creating a new one. Since airtight lids can lead to container explosion (if the

material releases vapor, as with most oxidizers) leave the lid or cap loose. Use the

provided funnels (they must be rinsed and dried after use). The wet benches must also

be wiped with wet wipers and dried after each use. Do not leave any glass, lab ware,

chemicals, or waste on the wet bench surface. You are expected to clean up after

yourself.

Chemical residue is hard to see, it is required that you wash your hands after exiting

the lab.

Spills: For any spill in the cleanroom please contacts a member of staff, phone

numbers are on the provided phone sheets, for assistance. In emergencies, evacuate

the area, and then contact the Safety Coordinator or Dial x13 for Security.

If you are exposed or burned, remove exposed material and use the safety showers

or eye wash stations. Rinse for at least 15 minutes then seek medical attention, have

someone else call Security at x13 the Safety Coordinator and EH&S to contain the

spill.

Specific Safety Procedures

Introduction: The safety rules for the cleanroom must be read, understood, and

practiced at all times. Use common sense, think about how your actions could affect

others, and never work alone. Report any safety problems you encounter to the Safety

Coordinator.

Live Pathogens: Never allowed in any URnano facilities

Chemicals: A large variety of chemicals exist in the cleanroom; you are responsible for

familiarizing yourself with them. MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheets) are available in the

gowning room. Other sources of information are: Chemical labels, manufacturer, Internet,

Safety Coordinator, and University of Rochester Environmental Health and Safety. PPE or

Personal Protective Equipment must be used at all times. PPE forms a protective barrier

between you and the hazard.

Acids/Bases/Solvents-Specifics

Acids: When mixing acids, remember the common alphabetical rule A-W. Always add

acid to water, not water to acid. Be sure to leave acid waste container caps loose to

avoid pressure buildup as reactions continue and/or gases are evolved.

Acids are stored separately from Bases and Solvents in the metal cabinet marked ACIDS.

Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) is particularly hazardous. HF attacks glass, so it must be

used and stored in plastic containers. Plastic handling equipment must be used in the place

of metal or glass. It also can cause major body damage; HF will break down into free

Hydrogen and Fluorine ions in the body. The Hydrogen with cause corrosive tissue burns,

and the Fluorine will bond with Calcium in the body to kill nerve endings and displace the

Calcium content by forming insoluble salts. If left alone, HF exposure can be fatal. If

exposed, flush the area with large quantities of water. Eye wash and shower stations are

located throughout the lab. Be sure to clean under fingernails as HF will wick there and is

hard to remove. Calcium gluconate gel is available in the wet bench area, and should be

applied to areas directly exposed to HF continually until you receive medical treatment.

Any exposure at the URnano requires a trip to the Medical Center. HF does not produce an

instant burning sensation, burning and or throbbing pain will not occur until many hours

after the actual exposure. This will depend on concentration. Seek medical attention if any

exposure occurs.

Piranha Etch is prohibited. It is a common name for a mixture of Hydrogen

Peroxide and Sulfuric Acid. This mixture reacts with photo resist, metals, and flesh. It is

very useful for cleaning wafers, but is highly reactive. The material continues to react and

decompose for long periods of time after use. This causes a vapor release that can cause

containers to explode. This material is highly unstable and use is not permitted. The

URnano supplies a chemically stabilized version of the mixture called Nanostrip. This is

just as effective as Piranha and is safer to use. Mixing or use of Piranha etch is a direct lab

violation.

Bases: There are many types of bases at the cleanroom. Basic solutions also can harm

tissue. If you become exposed, flush the area with large quantities of water. Eye wash and

shower stations are located throughout the lab. Acids and Bases can be mixed in controlled

amounts for known solutions, NEVER mix ACID and BASE waste together.

Peroxides are oxidizing materials; energy is released in reactions with common

materials. Peroxide mixtures can be unstable and can explode. Extreme care should be

used with peroxides, as they are incompatible with all forms of organic solvents and

flammable materials.

Solvents: Solvents should be handled with care, as most are highly flammable. Most also

can cause skin irritation and eye damage. Some have other threats, read the

corresponding MSDS to ensure you know all hazards and risks.

Acetone is used commonly throughout the lab, it is very flammable and has a low flash

point; it will combust very easily at low temperatures. Acetone spills can present a huge

fire or explosion hazard. Handle carefully in fume hoods and keep away from direct heat

sources.

Chlorinated solvents such as Chlorobenzene and Methylene Chloride are also used

throughout the lab, mostly for lithography processing. These are known carcinogens,

handle with care in hoods only, use separate waste containers and avoid skin contact or

breathing of vapors.

Glycol Ethers are also used widely in lithography processes. These chemicals are known to

cause birth defects, kidney, eye, lung, and brain damage. Avoid skin contact and breathing

of vapors. Wear proper equipment and work in ventilated areas. When using chemicals

you must follow the PPE guidelines.

Etiquette

Mutual consideration of your fellow users is essential to the efficient operation of the

cleanroom. Remember the following:

General lab rules:

1. Sign in each time you enter URnano facilities.

2. Use the buddy system.

3. Gown from the top down.

4. Always use gloves and safety glasses.

5. Know where phones and exits are.

6. Know where PPE, eyewash, safety shower, and fire extinguishers are.

7. Stay out of unauthorized areas.

8. Report all problems or incidents.

9. Wear appropriate safety gear for chemicals.

10. Return tools to where they belong.

Do not:

1. Wear make-up or perfume.

2. Wear sandals or open shoes.

3. Bring in visitors without permission.

4. Work on or modify equipment.

5. Bring in unapproved chemicals.

6. Make electrical connections.

7. Change gas bottles.

8. Work alone.

9. Use equipment for which you haven't been trained.

10. Bring in paper products. Use ONLY cleanroom paper or cleanroom notebooks.

11. Use pencils.

12. Leave materials or belongings in the gowning room.

13. Wear dirty clothes or shoes.

14. Enter the cleanroom ungowned.

15. Bring in backpacks, purses, laptops. or other personal storage items.

16. Bring in food or drink.

17. Listen to music.

Leave your work area the way you would like to see it when you come in.

1. No chemicals or waste on bench tops.

2. No unlabeled solutions.

3. No unauthorized solutions or chemicals.

4. No waste down the drain.

5. No wet labware on storage racks.

6. No unreported equipment problems.

7. No uncleaned empty bottles.

8. Be considerate of your fellow users.

9. Share bench space cleanly and safely.

10. Show up for reserved times or cancel the reservation.

Consider the general welfare of the lab.

1. If you know how to fix a problem do so. If you’re unsure don’t even try.

2. Assist staff and learn from them.

3. Know what alarms mean. Don't just turn them off.

4. If you have a doubt, ask someone about it.

5. Work to reduce particle and chemical contaminants

Unusual Circumstances

Electrical: Do not make electrical connections, this will be done by staff or other

approved persons. Do not overload circuits. Report all problems to the Safety Coordinator.

In case of electrical shock, do not touch the person, call EH&S and get assistance to shut off

the power source. RF, microwave, and other high-voltage sources are used on various

equipment, be careful with liquids, and watch out for high-voltage lines and cables.

Fire: Fires can result from ignition of flammable gases, liquids or other materials and

may be associated with electrical malfunctions (shorts or overheating). A major cause of

lab fires is due to ignition of chemical solutions on a hot plate. Use water baths where

possible. Be cautious of water use around electrical equipment. In case of a large fire,

evacuate the building, pull a fire alarm, and call 911. Remain calm, if you are in the lab you

will hear the fire alarm, do not ungown, find the nearest exit and quickly leave the building.

DO NOT RUN. If it is a small fire you feel you can handle, fire extinguishers are located

throughout the lab and building. If your clothes are ignited use eye washes or safety

showers to drench you.

Gases: Gases used at the cleanroom are mostly in high pressure steel compressed

cylinders. When in use gas cylinders are kept in special gas cabinets designed with exhaust

ventilation and the proper valves, and regulators. When being stored gas cylinders must

be securely fastened to a bracket of some kind. Cylinders often weigh up to a few hundred

pounds, and can cause personal or property damage if they happen to fall. Gas cylinders

must be transported on approved carts and used cautiously as compressed cylinders also

can become rockets if the cylinder valves are broken or damaged.

Nitrogen, Argon, Oxygen and Compressed air is house supplied by the building. Nitrogen

blowguns and compressed air are highly pressurized. At high pressures nitrogen or air can

cause damage to equipment, clothing, or actually tear skin. Use common sense. Many gases

in the cleanroom are corrosive, toxic, or pyrophoric. A gas that is pyrophoric will

spontaneously ignite in air. An example of pyrophoric material used is TMA (Tri-Methyl-

Aluminum). A toxic or corrosive gas is Chlorine.

*Note- In the event of a strange smell / odor, evacuate the lab, and then call Brian

McIntyre at 301-3145 or EH&S.

Injuries/First Aid Injuries such as minor burns and cuts can be treated using the

supplied first aid kits. Trained medical personnel at the Medical Center or UHS must treat

anything of a more severe nature.

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye Protection: Safety glasses must be worn in the lab at all times. Approved safety

glasses are supplied, see the Safety Coordinator if you need a pair. Over the glasses

pairs are also available. Note: impact resistant prescription glasses are not safety

glasses

Body Protection: Lab gowns will protect against most solvents and light abrasions.

Aprons and chemical resistant gloves are supplied for wet bench use. Heavy-duty

aprons and specialized gloves or other body protection is available upon request for

special approved projects or for dewar use with liquid nitrogen.

Hearing Protection: Earplugs are available for use when working near noisy

equipment.

Equipment/Facilities: Throughout the lab safety equipment is provided. These

include but are not limited to:

1. Calcium gluconate gel

2. First Aid kits

3. Fire extinguishers

4. Safety showers

5. Eye wash stations

6. Telephones
