Please plan your day around this.
Hello All,
Thank you for your patience.


The shaft that actuates the isolation valve between the loadlock and the process chamber has broken. I have reached out to Plasmatherm to see if they happen to have a spare but the odds are exceedingly low. We will update you all as we know more, but it will be down through the weekend and into early next week.

System will be available at 12:30 today (Fri Mar 7th). No changes to OAF settings but PAF has moved about 10 points positive for focus. We will work on adjusting PAF back to around 0 (on our cal resist) some time next week.

Fluorine ICP: DOWN

Hello All,

The shaft that actuates the isolation valve between the loadlock and the process chamber has broken. I have reached out to Plasmatherm to see if they happen to have a spare but the odds are exceedingly low. We will update you all as we know more, but it will be down through the weekend and into early next week.

  3. Fluorine Etcher - Will remain down until it can be addressed Monday.
  4. EB3 - Cryo regen failed, on second regen so should come up later.

New Gowns: Toolbelts purchases

We are required to switch to new gowns in January. The new gowns won’t have pockets, but you are allowed to purchase cleanroom tool belts. Please ask staff for which tool belts you can purchase.

Two vendors for cleanroom belts we are using are listed here, you may request others:

Suss SB6-8E

We found a blown resistor (and a questionable op amp) on one of the boards that contains the z-axis motor circuit. However, we still cannot get the tool to initialize. Next we will try swapping out the hard drive again and run some more tests.

I will send out an update once we have one. -Aidan // Demis D. John 00:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

ICP1 Down

The board we were waiting on arrived, but it did not resolve the tool issue. We are working with Panasonic on the next steps. //Vraj Mehalana 14:17, 1 March 2024 (PST)
