Booking System
The booking system is used to reserve equipment needed for the estimated
amount of time. The Booking sytem is beneficial to the user since
all machines required for processing or evaluatation can be used
at the user's convenience. Additionally, it assists in providing
a controlled atmosphere during times of congestion within the
cleanroom.
Reservations for machine use can be made through the online booking
system at any time through any of the CAMD Microfabrication webpages.
With little experience the User can estimate the time and time
span of machine use within a tolerance of 30 minutes, and book
accordingly. If the user arrives more than 15 minutes late to
a reservation, his/her session may be forfeited.
The user is required to book before entering the cleanroom. The
machines accessible for booking are only those the user is trained
on. In order to accommodate the large number of users, try to
avoid over-booking equipment. The use of any equipment without
proper booking and login will result in the appropriate consequences
as defined in the cleanroom policy.
Login System
The login system functions by allowing power to the machines only
after activating the specific machines chosen through the software
interface. The feature affected by the login system is unique
for each machine. The user is given login access only to those
machines on which he/she is trained. The software indicates a
list of these machines for the user less those machines in which
another user is currently logged in to. Logging in to machines
is done immediately (one minute) before machine use; logging off
the machine is done immediately (one minute) after machine use.
The computer containing the login system is located in the gowning
area inside the cleanroom. A login user's Manual includes complete
instructions on operation of the login system.
Key points for managing the login system:
- 1. The user should usually be logged in to one machine at a time.
It is impossible to use more than one machine at a time, unless
ovens are needed. For example, the oven may need time to warm
up while spinning resist; however, spinning while exposing is
impossible.
- 2. Once the user's login account has been accessed, the machines
authorized for use appears in the left column. If there are machines
missing from that list, then someone else is logged in to the
missing machines. If this is a conflict with booked equipment,
contact Tracy or Shaloma to remedy this situation. The user may
NOT use a machine that he/she is not logged in to.
- 3. Power-down procedures for each machine is unique. Refer to
the written manual located on each machine for instructions on
the proper power-down procedure.
- 4. Log off immediately after machine use.
- 5. Log on to another machine only when fully prepared to use it.
- 6. Do not use a machine that is logged in by someone else.
- 7. Exchanging LOGIN ID and password is prohibited.
- 8. Do not attempt to repair malfunctioning machines.
- 9. Phone, e-mail, or otherwise locate a member of the Cleanroom
staff with equipment problems or questions.
All machines inside the cleanroom are connected to the login system,
except for the following:
- - 4 foot stainless steel chemical hood
- - 6 foot processing hood (positions 1 and 2)
- - Microvoid Class 100 Work Station (positions 1 and 2)
Note that the listed equipment and all machines inside the cleanroom
require booking before use.
