The tool remains down. We did not find any "smoking gun" with the PC but did find that the PC's power supply had a non functional fan and the power supply did not test as good (granted it would still power up the PC). We will continue troubleshooting the PC issue in the morning.

With Mike Silva's help, the fixture was recovered without having to vent the loadlock/chamber.
Please plan accordingly.

We are ordering a new z-axis controller on the recommendation of the vendor. If all goes well this should solve the issue and make the bonder fully operational.

However, the repaired bell jar mount is not sliding down the hoist pole like it should. Since the repair involved some welding to the collar that slides down the hoist pole, we surmise that the concentricity was affected by the heat.

Once it is able to slide on properly the tool should be up shortly thereafter.

We have added a timer that interlocks the lamp power supply since some users seem to have a problem remembering to turn the tool off when finished with it. The minimum time it can be set for is 30 minutes and the max is 4 hours. You will no longer be operating the main breaker on the front of the power supply. I have updated the SOP to reflect the changes, there is a copy at the tool and on [https://wiki.nanofab.ucsb.edu/wiki/DUV_Flood_Expose#Documentation:~:text=Exposure%20System%20Spectra-,Documentation,-%5Bedit%20%7C its Wiki page].

ASML: intermittent alignment failures

I have determined that the laser used for Alignment is failing, the power is low and it flickers.

We will order a replacement ASAP and schedule an ASML engineering visit to install + calibrate a new one.

In the mean time, I'm sorry to say that you will see intermittent "reject" wafers. Please see email for info on recovering from this error.
