While we are continuing to increase hours during which users may access the cleanroom, the maximum cleanroom occupancy has not changed. Reminder we are allowed to have a maximum of 20 users plus staff during the day and 25 users during the evenings/Saturday (no staff).

July 22 Update:

New Hours:

  • Monday Hours: 9AM - Midnight
  • Tuesday - Saturday Hours: 7AM - Midnight

Cleanroom maximum occupancy is still 20 users during normal business hours when staff are present. During evening and Saturday hours, cleanroom maximum occupancy increases to 25 users.

Just a quick lab occupancy reminder; at the moment we are allowed to have maximum (20) users in the facility at one moment along with staff. Please take notice of the board outside the togging room door entrance before entry. And occupancy of the togging room is limited to two people at a time.

Congestion in the photolithography areas and togging room can be problematic. To help reduce congestion, we recently expanded operating hours, with selected users having access until midnight. We encourage users to be flexible and patient and to use all available hours.

The CNF staff and management continues to closely monitor occupancy limits and opportunities for improvement. At this time, new users are not permitted in to the facility and one on one training is not available.
