=====EBeam1 still Down=====
Unfortunately EBeam1 will remain down until further notice.
All parts and repairs have been completed except for the replacement of the hoist motor.
The new hoist motor has still not been delivered.


=====Christmas Lab Shutdown: Dec 22-25=====
When I receive the new hoist motor, I will install it and test all system functions prior to releasing the tool.
Users,
To perform annual maintenance, we are planning to have the lab shut down from '''''9 am on Monday December 22 through 9 am Friday December 26th'''''.


Please plan accordingly.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

===== New Raith EBL: tool up =====
=====Announcements moved=====
Please check the announcements in SignupMonkey for equipment notifications.
It appears that the combination of higher beam currents than usual (we did after all upgrade our EBL capabilities for the purpose of higher throughput at much higher beam currents) and the particular (extremely sparse) stitch patterns we use to measure stitch accuracy revealed a subtle limitation in the Fine Focus coil used in their systems (the Fine Focus coil adjusts focal point on the substrate as the beam is deflected around the 1mm field).

We are working with the tool designers in Eindhoven as well as the service team in the US to “fix” this issue. However, in the meantime, we understand and recognize the problem sufficiently to address it if it comes up in real day-to-day usage.

We will be signing off on the tool tomorrow morning at which point the tool will be available for '''general EBL use to our nanofab community'''. I will be working with a few experienced users in the next couple of days and then will be reaching out to a wider audience to get more of you trained. -- Bill Mitchell

===== SignupMonkey + Wiki: Off-Campus Access=====
Due to a DDoS attack affecting the Signupmonkey server, we have restricted access to the website to US locations only, including both the Nanofab Wiki and Signupmonkey.

If you are off-campus and experiencing issues, please utilize the UCSB VPN to access our sites. Here are the installation instructions for VPN on your device. You will need your UCSB NetID for download and installation - you would have received a UCSB NetID when you started using the NanoFab:

=====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.

=====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.
