I am wondering if you have ever sought the services of a cleanroom consultant when building a new facility? We are contemplating going this route. If so, do you have any recommendations? Any other words of advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Mac,
I have tried Huntsman's E-Grade THEMAH as well as another of their products, E-Grade CHOLINE OH, as a developer for standard Novolac photoresists, though not for HSQ (yet). I was pretty happy with their performance in general, though THEMAH was a bit slow compared to standard TMAH developer.
Cheers,

Subject: [labnetwork] TMAH alternatives
Hello Labnetworkers,
Has anyone tried one of the TMAH substitutes that have become available?
How do they work? Are your users satisfied with their results?
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

Many thanks to everyone who responded. Was quite overwhelmed. Apologies for not replying individually to some.
Interim conclusion is that the AMU and board have been sent to out local RF specialists (RF Global) for inspection. Think I am right in saying the belief is this will be cheaper/faster than buying AMU & board from ebay or third party vendor (e.g. Moov). Also fair to say that the University is never keen on purchasing from ebay or third party vendors!
Thanks again,
Cheers,
James
