For background, TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) is widely used in commercial resist developers (3%) and for HSQ developing (25%). In its 25% concentration, TMAH is a potent contact neurotoxin, which is fatal roughly 75% of the time, for exposures greater than 7.5% of body area. Nasty stuff.
Several companies now have safer alternatives available, which we'd like to try out, such as:
Envure 3330 (Sachem Chemical),
E-Grade THEMAH SLM ((hydroxyethyl) methylammonium hydroxide, from Huntsman Chemical), and
Novo-safe SE-33 (ethyl tri-methy ammonium hydroxide from Transene).
We are particularly interested in using one of these as an HSQ developer, so we can do away with 25% TMAH.
Any experiences, good or bad, will be most welcome.
Thanks,
Mac Hathaway

Subject: [labnetwork] distributor for cleanroom raised floor systems
Message-ID: <CAGTqYdFc2dw-mhLCj-JuHg6h77frE-SdoYKADqC+4VtVnGo6QQ@mail.gmail.com>
Hello,
I am in need of some additional/replacement components for the raised floor
system in our cleanroom, which was manufactured by Hae Kwango Co. Ltd. in
South Korea. Aside from the odd reseller that may have a some of what I
need, I am not having any luck finding a distributor in the US for this
company, and I'm hoping some of you may have suggestions. I'd also be
willing to use parts from another manufacturer, so long as they can be
integrated into our current system.
I look forward to your responses.
Thank you,
--

Please post the attached flyer as well as share the announcement below with other members of the scientific communities. Thank you!
CNF Technology & Characterization at the Nanoscale (CNF TCN) IN-PERSON Short Course
June 6, 2022 - June 9, 2023
The CNF TCN will be held in-person Tuesday, June 6, 2023 - Friday, June 10, 2023. Each day offers lectures and laboratory demonstrations designed to impart a broad understanding of the science and technology required to undertake research in nanoscience. TCN is an ideal way for faculty, students, post docs and staff members to rapidly come up to speed in many of the technologies that users of the CNF need to employ. Members of the high tech business community will also find it an effective way to learn best practices for success in a nanofab environment. Attendance is open to the general scientific community.
Note: The short course does not replace the three part training required to become a user of our facility. To become a CNF user, please visit the "Getting Started" link (https:cnf.cornell.edu/howto<https://cnf.cornell.edu/howto>) on the CNF website.

Subject: [labnetwork] Job Opening at Princeton
Message-ID: <CAKRxi9QGpmoddCg_8g+18nxbgpBjcsBaMG5E9P_E=3=7G2f4JA@mail.gmail.com>
Dear Labnetwork members,
Princeton University is seeking an inaugural Director to design,
commission, and manage a new Quantum Cleanroom. As part of a broader
investment in support of Princeton's world-leading research in quantum
devices and materials, Princeton plans to construct a new cleanroom
tailored to the exacting requirements of this field, supporting the
fabrication of electronic and photonic devices in a wide range of materials
including silicon, III-Vs, diamond, two-dimensional materials, and
superconductors. The key aims of the facility are to maintain a high level
of cleanliness and process control, and flexibility to meet the future
needs of this rapidly changing field. This cleanroom will coexist with the
general-purpose Micro-Nano Fabrication Center (MNFC) cleanroom housed in
the Princeton Materials Institute.
Successful candidates will have a strong vision for all aspects of the
Quantum Cleanroom and deep technical knowledge of cleanroom processes and
infrastructure. Excellent leadership and interpersonal skills will help
foster a positive and productive culture for the Quantum Cleanroom,
including effective relationships between the staff, student and
postdoctoral researchers, external users, faculty, and administrators. The
Director will work closely with faculty committees on the design of the
facility and setting policies and priorities.
The job posting is available at the link below, and I am available to
answer any questions about the position.
