//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 15:13, 5 December 2023 (PST)
Next Week Monday Oct 16th to Wed 18th we will allow GapFill (450W RF Bias) recipes to be run.
The staff will be on Holiday Dec 25th & 26th, and January 1st & 2nd.
Please plan your process accordingly.

Also we are still testing our own GapFill recipe that hopefully reduces flakes. Once this is ready you’ll want to qualify our new recipe to make sure it works for your application, as the old GapFill recipe will eventually be deprecated & disallowed.

=====Dicing Saw (ADT) Upgrade 10/9=====
//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 15:13, 6 December 2023 (PST)
The dicing saw is scheduled go down for an upgrade on Monday October 9th and will be down for that week and into the weekend. Part of the upgrade will be updated software and will require users to be re-trained. I will provide more info on the re-training once I get a little hands on time with the updated software.
ADT will be able to transfer your recipes from the GUI software to the NUI software. Please note that we do sometimes run into an issue with a recipe, as it is not a 100% perfect process, but the vast majority of the recipes do transfer over. If there are any you are concerned about, please make sure you have all parameters documented prior to us upgrading the machine.
Documentation of recipes is the user's responsibility, Staff will not be taking care of this.
