Orientation
Once all trainings are submitted, you will be contacted to schedule an orientation. The orientation is in two parts:
- Orientation and Safety - lasts approximately 1.5 hrs
- Cleanroom walkthrough
You will schedule the walkthrough at the end of the first orientation. Once the walkthrough is complete, you will be granted access.
Keys and Tool Trainings
If physical keys are needed to labs or offices, a request form is needed. Please complete and have your advisor either sign before submission or include the key approval in the access approval email.
To become an approved user on a particular tool, a training with an engineer will need to be scheduled. This is required before using a tool by yourself. After you are a user, you will be able to reserve a tool and receive information about tool status and availability. Training is required for any use of HF or Piranha etch.
