While I don't deal with research/industry users (we have a dedicated
research Nanofab for that), here are a few strategies we use
(primarily instituted by my excellent predecessor) in the teaching
cleanroom (~50 students per quarter):<br>
<ol>
<li>Users who have not gone through the training process are not
allowed access. This cuts down on the footfall due to casual
observers.</li>
<li>Each piece of equipment needs to be reserved prior to use, for
a specific duration (1-2 hr windows). This would limit folks
from showing up and waiting in the cleanroom.</li>
</ol>
<p>In the research Nanofab, users have 24x7 access and it is heavily
leveraged. Once you realize the process node you want is reserved
during the day, you don't have a choice but to choose evening
hours!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p><br>
</p>

We are experiencing a high number of people in our cleanroom,
with 50-70 users at a time against a maximum capacity of 50. I
would appreciate it if you could share strategies used in your
facilities to reduce the number of people in the cleanroom. Do
you have any restrictions on students during the day or any
incentives for working after office hours, for both startups and
industry?</div>
