Telephone System InformationThe laboratory has an independent telephone system: You cannot dial campus numbers with only 5 digits. You can dial lab numbers with only 3 digits. Use “all call” to page staff or other members in the lab. During staff hours dial “0” to reach the NanoLab office
You must dial “9” to dial an outside number: Both “9 – 911 and 911 will reach an emergency operator.
For emergencies dial 9-1-1 from any lab phone.If you use your cellular phone, call campus police at 510-642-3333
04/22/23 7
Emergency ResponseIn event of fire: Pull a red fire alarm pull station. Pull a blue Hazmat alarm pull station. Evacuate the building.
In event of medical emergency: Call 911 if life threatening. Visit Tang Center for minor injuries. If Tang Center closed, the Trauma Center at Alta Bates Hospital on
Ashby and Telegraph is at all hours.
In event of flooding or utility problem: Contact staff. Shutoff water supply if you can identify the source.
If there is a non-NanoLab building issue: Contact campus hotline at 510-642-1032. Follow up with call to building manager Domenico Carmagno at 510-502-6025.
If you call an EMERGENCY phone number on left, follow-up with a call to a number on right.
04/22/23 8
Blue Hazmat pull stations are located at every emergency exit and at several locations throughout the lab. Lab members shoulduse these pulls when they believe the lab should be evacuated:
- hazmat activates blue lights and audible alarm.- hazmat seals all hazardous gases.- hazmat notifies a 24 hour alarm company. that then contacts laboratory staff.- hazmat does not call 911.- If blue light is flashing upon arrival,
you may NOT enter the lab.
At each lab entrance is a Firefighter Restricted“break glass” emergency ventilation pull station. This station turns off air recirculation and putsthe lab in a state of maximum exhaust.Lab members are Never allowed to activate this pull station!

Chemicals Common chemicals are
supplied by the NanoLab.– For use in NanoLab ONLY.– Chemicals are stored in lab member
accessible labeled cabinets throughout the lab.
Chemicals are also stored in rolling carts under the sinks.
View available chemicals on Mercury.
04/22/23 20
Special Chemicals A “Special Chemical” is a proper name for any chemical not supplied
by the NanoLab. Special Chemicals must be approved prior to bringing them into the
NanoLab. Approval Process:
– Obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
– Email MSDS to Chemical Safety Officer Bill Flounders (bill at eecs.berkeley.edu) and request special chemical review.
– If approved, when you obtain your chemical, visit the NanoLab office to obtain a red “Approved Special Chemical” label.
– Even if previously approved, additional purchases of the same chemical must go through the approval process to maintain up to date chemical inventories.
– It is recommended that you complete the approval process prior to ordering chemical.
– Special Chemicals may require special hazardous waste disposal methods.
04/22/23 21
Transporting Chemicals Lab members are NEVER allowed in the chemical storage areas within the
gas vaults, rooms 399 and 599 without staff escort or prior approval.
Make sure there are no open bottles of desired chemical already in the area.
Use safety carriers to move bottles within the NanoLab.
Store opened standard chemicals in designated areas near the sinks.
Notify staff if there is no stock of a chemical.
Chemical transport between levels is to be minimized:– No chemicals are allowed in the lab passenger elevator.– Always use bottle carriers in the stairs or the chemical “dumb waiter”.

Working with Chemicals All wet chemical work must be
performed at a NanoLab sink.:
You must wear protective equipment (PPE) when working with any chemicals:– Chemically resistant gloves, face
shield & apron.
You must wear chemically-rated gloves, chemical resistant apron and a face shield when working with any chemicals.
– The only exception to this rule is the tri-polymer chemically resistant gloves are not required when handling small amber bottles of photoresist.
04/22/23 24
Working with Chemicals Respirators are not required when working with standard or
approved Special Chemicals at NanoLab sinks. NanoLab sinks are annually certified as fume hoods. If your process requires you to handle chemicals outside of a
NanoLab sink, review your process with Chemical Safety Officer Bill Flounders.
Incidental use of isopropanol, methanol, or acetone squeeze bottles outside of NanoLab sinks is permitted.
Cal-OSHA requires all chemical containers to be labeled with their content!
24
04/22/23 25
Working with Chemicals Always add acid to water.
– Exception being Piranha
Do not use glassware with HF acid. Ongoing processed must be labeled for chemical content, contact
information date and time of return.– Place setups toward the back of fume hood where there is maximum exhaust.
Clean unidentified spills by:– Checking pH with a test strip.– If strongly acidic or basic (pH <4 or >10) use a sink hose to flush into the sink.– If neutral, mop up with Techni-cloths.
All chemicals must be stored in proper containers with the contents identified!
04/22/23 26
Dry Chemicals
Measure dry chemicals by pouring into weigh boat or weighing paper:
– Always use a clean spatula if scooping is necessary.– Never return chemicals to the source bottle.– All chemicals must be labeled and stored in proper containers, i.e.
no beakers with foil or unlabeled dry chemicals.

Chemical Exposures
Remove the affected clothing. Rinse the exposed areas with water for 15 minutes using a
safety shower or eyewash. Notify staff after exposure using the posted Emergency
Contact Information. In an emergency, the deck hoses are usually your closest
source of water.
04/22/23 33
Eye Exposure
If eyes are exposed:Flush eyes for at least15 minutes – NOT LESS!– Use an eye-wash.– Sinks have DI deck guns which can be used followed by an eye
wash.– Contact staff for assistance or cal 911.– Follow up eye exposures with visit to a medical professional.
All eye exposures require a follow up visit to Tang Center or a hospital emergency room.
Lab members should assist a colleague in the event of an eye exposure!
33
04/22/23 34
HF Burns
HF acts as an anesthetic, you may not feel the burn until damage is already done.
If exposed:– Remove affected clothing, flush with cold water
for 15 minutes.– Massage calcium gluconate ointment from safety
stations onto exposed area.– Notify staff after exposure, using posted
Emergency contact information.
04/22/23 35
TMAH
TMAH is used in photoresist developer @ ~ 3% It is hazardous by ingestion, inhalation, skin
exposure or eye contact Exposure to concentrations > 15% may cause
respiratory or heart failure – a ganglion inhibitor Flush expose area with water for 15 minutes. Notify staff after exposure, using posted
Emergency contact information.
04/22/23 36
Chemical Spills During staff hours, contact a staff member. Contain spills using the Spill Containment Kit
available at Safety Stations. Contact staff for assistance using the posted
emergency contact information posted at every phone.
Final spill cleanup must be done by trained staff certified for spill cleanup.
04/22/23 37
Toxic Metals General practices for handling metals:
– Consider all metal dust as potentially hazardous
– Minimize quantities
– Protect bench top with disposable covers.
– Confine material as you work
– Change gloves when leaving the area
– Solutions used for etching of toxic materials requires proper disposal
– Confine dust - use dampened lab wipes to collect metal dust
– Contact staff for proper disposal of cleaning materials contaminated with toxic metals
– Mechanical cleaning should be done with fume hood at 200 ft per minute face velocity and a HEPA vacuum
– Do not use N2 blowoff guns - use a HEPA vacuum
– New evaporation sources or sputter targets must be reviewed as Special Chemicals
04/22/23 38
Work with Gallium Arsenides or other highly toxic metals must first be reviewed with Bill Flounders!
Follow the same procedures as outlined for: SPECIAL CHEMICALS
38
04/22/23 39
Sharps & Dangerous Objects Dispose broken glassware in yellow trash pails labeled “broken
glass”. Dispose Si wafers in the blue Si wafer recycle bins. Dispose needles, razor blades, and other sharp objects in red
“SHARPS” bins. Mercury thermometers are banned from the lab. Contact lab staff in event of a mercury spill. Batteries and electronic waste disposal is via the NanoLab
office to assure proper disposal.
04/22/23 40
Cylinder Gases
Lab members are not allowed to handle compressed gas cylinders.
Corrosive and Toxic Gases are kept in the dedicated gas vaults, room 399 and 599.
Gases are stored in ventilated steel gas cabinets. Toxic Gases are monitored by the Toxic Gas Monitoring system, which will shut them off at source if leak is detected or if HAZMAT alarm is pulled.
Lab members are NEVER allowed in the gas and chemical storage areas, rooms 399 and 599 without staff escort or prior approval.
04/22/23 41
Lasers
• Lasers are allowed after review and approval of Bill Flounders (bill at eecs.berkeley.edu).
• More information on safe use of lasers at: www.ehs.berkeley.edu

04/22/23 43
Cryogens Review EH&S Cryogen fact Sheet before working with
cryogens. Liquid Nitrogen is stored in vacuum jacketed cylinders
called dewars. Hazards are from freezing burns and asphyxiation due
to sudden oxygen depletion. Wear gloves and goggles when transferring to a
smaller container. Use care to avoid spills to minimize damage to the
floor in the lab.
04/22/23 44
Flooding in the Lab Search for the source of the leak and turn off the
supply valve. Use the squeegees located in the freight elevator
vestibule area to direct most water to floor drain. Use the wet vacuum located in the freight elevator
vestibule area to vacuum up any remaining water from the floor.
Notify a staff member and report the incident on Mercury as a problem under facilities.
04/22/23 45
Electrical Safety Report all electrical issues to staff. In event of electrocution, shutoff the power sources
at the east end of each chase. Use of power strips is regulated in the lab, see
Staff. Never use the ON/OFF, EMO or EPO buttons to
reboot tools. Such functions are for emergencies. The use of ON/OFF, EMO/EPO functions runs the risk of equipment damage.
45
04/22/23 46
Lock out, Tag out
If an equipment is labeled red (fatal) in Mercury, do not attempt to use it or energize it in any way.
Watch for Engineer Photo ID tags on equipment and follow the instructions on these tags.
04/22/23 47
Fire Prevention and Response Use care with heat lamps or when heating flammable
solvents:– Use only digitally controlled hot plates.– Always use a water bath to transfer heat.
In event of fire:– Fire extinguishers are clean room “approved”.– Fire extinguishers are located throughout the lab and near every door.– You are not expected to fight fires. Use a fire extinguisher only if you are
feel safe doing so.– You are expected to “Notify, Evaluate, Evacuate”.– If clothes are involved use a safety shower.
