=====PECVD2 Planned Down Time for Maintenance 10-19-23=====
PECVD2 will be going down on Thursday October 19th for replacement of the hoist.


=====Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Tool UP=====
This will be an all day event starting at 8:00am.
I have recalibrated the system focus, system is ready for use, back to your *normal* focus offsets. No need to run and add IQC.


Please do let me know if you see IQC focus is out of the ±50nm spec again - it was intermittent for a while. I believe particulate contamination was the cause (from the last system repair).
Please plan accordingly.


Reminder to be *extremely* careful to clean the underside of your wafers and ensure not particles are on the Chrome side of your photomask! Let me know if you see any problems with users following these cleaning procedures, or if you have questions/need a refresher on this. // [[User:John_d|Demis D. John]] 00:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
This was originally planned for 10-2, but we had to reschedule due to other equipment down

=====Unaxis ICP-PECVD is UP for Non-GapFill=====
Tool is up for NON-GapFill (450W RF Bias) Recipes. Other Std SiO2/SiN deps are available.
Next Week Monday Oct 16th to Wed 18th we will allow GapFill (450W RF Bias) recipes to be run.
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.

When the vendor came in to install the new top heater he wasn't able to get the z-axis (elevator motor) to move. He was able to install the new heater and do a PM on the rest of the tool. 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. I'll send out an email once the new controller has been installed.
The top heater has failed. We are currently in the process of trying to source a new heater. we will send out an email once I have an update.

=====Dicing Saw (ADT) Upgrade 10/9=====
//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 12:43, 3 September 2024 (PDT)
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.

Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Tool UP

I have recalibrated the system focus, system is ready for use, back to your *normal* focus offsets. No need to run and add IQC.

Please do let me know if you see IQC focus is out of the ±50nm spec again - it was intermittent for a while. I believe particulate contamination was the cause (from the last system repair).

Reminder to be *extremely* careful to clean the underside of your wafers and ensure not particles are on the Chrome side of your photomask! Let me know if you see any problems with users following these cleaning procedures, or if you have questions/need a refresher on this. // Demis D. John 00:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Suss SB6-8E

When the vendor came in to install the new top heater he wasn't able to get the z-axis (elevator motor) to move. He was able to install the new heater and do a PM on the rest of the tool. 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. I'll send out an email once the new controller has been installed.
