It is very important that you dispose off chemicals and process waste according to DTU Nanolab regulations and risk assessments for your work.

'''For the GaAs and InP waste you should collect the waste and mark it Carcinogenic. If it contains H2O2 use empty H2O2 bottles (since they should have a special lid that avoid over pressure).
'''For the GaAs and InP substrate etching, waste should be collected and marked ''Carcinogenic''.  
Remember to mark the bottle that it contains GaAs and InP and that it is carcinogenic.'''
If it contains H2O2 use empty H2O2 bottles (since they should have a special lid that avoid over pressure).
 
There should be waste bottles in the fumehood for citric acid: H2O2 or H2SO4 (10%):H2O2 used to etch GaAs and InGaAsP substrates marked '''"for Carcinogenic materials like InP and GaAs in Acid and Hydrogenperoxide".'''
And one for acid etch of InP marked '''"for Carcinogenic materials like InP and GaAs in Acid - ''NO H2O2"'''
 
This does not apply for etching epilayers.
 
If you need a new bottle, contact Nanolab.

== InP substrate etching ==
When etching InP substrates, both 2” wafers and small pieces, you should collect the used chemicals in a waste bottle. This does not apply for etching epilayers.
There should be a bottle in the fumehood for HCl used to etch InP substrates marked InP carcinogenic.
Once the bottle is full, it should be brought to the basement of building 346 and a new one placed in the CR. For InP waste a clean and empty developer bottle can be used.
== GaAs substrate etching ==
When etching GaAs substrates, both 2” wafers and small pieces, you should collect the used chemicals in a waste bottle. This does not apply for etching epilayers.
There should be a bottle in the fumehood for citric acid: H2O2 or H2SO4 (10%):H2O2 used to etch GaAs substrates marked GaAs carcinogenic.
Once the bottle is full, it should be brought to the basement of building 346 and a new one placed in the CR. '''For the GaAs waste you should use empty H2O2 bottles (since they should have a special lid that avoid over pressure).'''
