<div dir="ltr">Hello Julia,<div><br></div><div>Regarding your 2nd question, I think that yes it depends on the size of the facility (and user community / external organizations), but also the amount of (or lack of) administrative/financial services that may be provided by your university/college/department. If the facility staff have to take care of all admin tasks (budgeting, inventory tracking, billing/invoicing including sometimes acting as a collection agency, and general admin/clerical support), then it will make more sense to have a admin/business manager than if many of these tasks are taken care of by other people. </div><div>Here at the Univ of Michigan, there is a single managing director (me) but I get some admin/financial support by leveraging a % of effort from several admin/financial staff members.</div><div><br></div><div>It was nice to meet you in person at UGIM!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Sandrine</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 6:21 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:julia.aebersold@louisville.edu" target="_blank">julia.aebersold@louisville.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Greetings everyone! I had a great time at UGIM and enjoyed seeing old friends and making new acquaintances. The University of Utah hospitality was fantastic. I do have some questions.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. We have had an aluminum adhesion issue with bubbling under the deposited film. We have had a user put their PDMS devices into our sputtering tool and have been told that outgasing PDMS could be the source of our bubbling underneath aluminum. We do
not see this behavior with other metal depositions. Do you ban PDMS from your processing chambers? Also, we will go ahead with decontamination using sand blasting and solvent wipe downs, but do you recommend other processes (i.e. chemical dips for parts
that can be removed)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. My second question revolves around organizational structure. We currently have a Faculty Director, Cleanroom Manager (me), 3 Engineers and 1 Admin. Structures and the number of people in facilties vary immensely due to size of the facility, but I
wanted to know how many split their cleanroom manager position into a technical manager and business operations manager. The business operations manager would primarily handle administrative tasks and rarely step foot into the cleanroom.<br>
