The Solvent 84 Bench is for working with solvents, stripping resist, cleaning wafers, and lift-off. It is considered a non CMOS-clean bench, so wafers with metal are allowed in the bench. It is intended for use with 1 cm pieces up to 6 inch wafers and all materials.


Announcements

In both the Cleanroom and the Robin Lab, the LNF has updated the personal protective equipment policy at Solvent Benches. In addition to the mandatory chemical safety glasses, face shields are now recommended to be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing/spraying liquid.

System Overview

Chemicals Allowed

Hardware Details

This bench contains 3 heated ultrasonic baths, DI Quick Dump Rinse tank (QDR), timers, and there is an aspirators on this bench that goes to solvent waste, a tank that goes to the acid waste neutralization system, and a bottle drying setup.

Safety

Proper PPE for this bench are Trionic or Neoprene gloves and safety glasses. If the possibility for splashing/ spraying is present, please wear a faceshield
Warning Warning: You must use the buddy system for all chemical processing. Do not process if you are alone in the lab. If the yellow warning lights are on it means that there are 2 or 1 people in the lab.

Working with chemicals can be very dangerous. Many solvents are very carcinogenic so avoid contact and breathing the vapors. To minimize the chance of accident, make sure you always:

  • Wear personal protective equipment. Required PPE at this bench are safety glasses and Trionic or Neoprene gloves.
  • LNF Glove Policy
  • Know the properties and hazards of chemicals you are working with. If you don’t know, find out by reading about them or asking staff.
  • Plan the details of your process. Before you start working, plan what quantities of chemicals and sample carriers you will use. Plan how you will rinse your sample and what you will do with any waste generated. Make sure you know how the controllers work.
  • Do not use this bench without proper training.
  • There are two routes of disposal from this bench based upon material:
    • Solvent aspirator: Only solvents can be disposed of using this aspirator. DO NOT aspirate water with this aspirator.
    • Water waste tank: Only water can be disposed of down the drain. DO NOT pour solvents into this tank.
