<p class="MsoNormal">The first things you want to find out are the local, state, and federal code on these materials. Being a new fabrication, you will most likely have to abide by the most up to date codes and their revisions. As Holonyak Lab was design
and built in the late 80’s the way I manage HPM’s may be very different from your requirements.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have 2 toxic gas vaults with gas cabinets for delivery We use Ps-7’s(electrochromic sensors) and CL-96(Hydride tape) for gas monitoring.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our case H2 is delivered from a tube trailer. Every and all piping is coaxial as well as orbital welded up until it is distributed in the chase to our clean rooms. From there we rely in VCR connections and H2 monitoring for leaks 24/7.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our current CL2, BCL3 delivery system is being replaced by new cabinets from CSI. We had elected to install these cabinets in our toxic gas vaults but may need to pivot due to the length of the delivery path.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as abatement, HMNTL used to run outdated and unreliable CDO’s. We are pivoting to a water scrubber just for the etching tools. This what has been recommended for our etch tools but depending on the material you are processing you
may need another type of abatement device. I might add we run our exhaust through a second large scrubber as that is the exhaust source for toxic sources. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, I would suggest researching your specific codes before jumping to conclusions. Semi Standards is good place to start.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, I'm Russ, some of you know me from Oxford Instruments - I just left to direct a new 3k sqft academic fab at University of Nevada Reno. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do the smaller university fabs handle toxic gas delivery? e.g. Cl2, BCl3, H2... Any recommendations for systems/vendors? And do you generally keep cylinders for that in an external bunker-type place, or nearer point of use (in a service
chase)? SF6 and the like don't need anything special, correct?<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also is it now typical to abate fluorinated etch gases which I thought requires expensive burn boxes, or do the dry bed systems suffice? <o:p></o:p></p>
