1. Each day will be broken into four, 6-hour time slots.  Time slots shall be 08:00 AM to 2:00 PM, 2 PM to 8 PM, 8 PM to 2 AM and 2 AM to 8 AM.  Reservations shall be made for these time slots.

2. Each individual user may book no more than 3 bookings at one time. 
3. The tool will be configured with SFIL and SFIL-R dispensers and nozzles.  Users who require a different set-up will be required to change the tool to their required set-up and return it to normal before finishing.

4. Users that require mult-/consecutive day use of the tool may, upon authorization, book and use up to 3 days (72 hours) consecutively, but then may not book any reservation within the next 30 days.

5. Unreserved time on the tool is available for use on a first-come basis, and will not count toward a user’s 3 reservation slots.

1. The CHA scheduling will be done on the web calendar http://www.mrc.utexas.edu/reservations.html, not the board by the tool.

2. Each user will be allowed to have a maximum of two (2) reservations at any time. 

3. Maximum reservation duration shall be two (2) hours.

4. Reservations may not be made beyond 48 hours in advance.  The exception to this is that Monday reservations may be made on Friday.

5. Each group (professor’s group, company, etc) shall have a maximum of 3 reservations per day during the period 8:00AM to 8:00PM.

6. The tool may be used when not reserved, if your duration of work will not interfere with the next reserved time.  This use of unreserved time shall not count toward the user or the group’s maximum number of slots.

7. Users shall not share or borrow other users’ reservation slots.

8. Users shall be logged onto the tool for the complete duration of their use of the tool.  This includes load, pump-down, evaporation, and all other facets of the use of the tool.  When the tool is not logged on the lab access system, it will be considered not in use and may be addressed by any other user, if their use does not interfere with the next reserved time.

9. Users shall change the crystal when it reaches 50%.  This shall be done by the user who is/was using the tool when 50% was reached.

10. Users shall enter complete information into the tool log book each time they use the tool.

11. Tool usage and reservation utilization will be monitored.  Book what you need and use what you book.  Tool log book entries will be monitored relative to reservations and lab access usage.

1. Prime time will be defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Off time will be defined as Monday through Friday, 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM and all weekend days.

2. Each individual user may book no more than 2 prime time bookings and 2 off time bookings, for a total of a maximum of 4 bookings.

3. Each booking may be no more than 4 hours. A booking may be less than 4 hours if the user does not need a full increment of 4 hours. The motto of 'Book what you need, and use what you book' will become a standard motto of the e-beam group.

4. There may not be more than 8 bookings on the calendar made by persons in a group (professor)

5. Book what you need and use what you book. The usage statistics will be audited relative to the bookings on a regular basis. Penalties will be issued to time wasters. Reviewing audit results, a person who starts to calibrate to expose more than 2 hours into their booked time slot will be considered to have started late and therefore have wasted time. This will result in the person's bookings being removed from the schedule and that person will have to rebook at the next available time slot. A person who finishes exposing and therefore finishes their process more than 2 hours before the end of their booked time slot will also be considered as wasting time. New processes that have unknown exposure times should be discussed with Marylene or Bill prior to being done, to explain the unknown factor and the reason for longer booking than process. Repeated exposure finishes more than 2 hours prior to the end of a booking, without convincing reason, will result in a person's bookings being removed from the schedule. Second offense penalty will be all bookings removed and the user removed from the e-beam access for one month. Third offense will result in consultation with the user's professor and determination of the need for that user to have e-beam access at all.
