After speaking with Olympus it looks like there is a problem with the polarizer that is interfering with basic system initialization. I'm waiting for the repair quote and will update everyone when we know more.
We have adjusted recipes for SiO2 and Std SiN. These are available for use. Read the emails first.
-- Tony Bosch

The maintenance is completed and the tool is finishing up an O2 clean run. We are still seeing a 0.04-0.05 Pa actual pressure difference in the software (as before the maint work) which we will address tomorrow, as the tool needs time to reach base pressure. -- Lee Sawyer

=====Lab Access Changes: Symmetry App=====
Card/Iris scanner access is still currently enabled. However we will be moving to a smartphone-based access system. '''IMPORTANT''': check your email to setup the new smartphone access system, so you will be ready when we switch to the new system. Look for an email titled '''''"Invitation to Access Symmetry App"'''''.


=====Oxford ALD+Ion Mill: UP=====
// [[User:John d|John d]] 13:49, 7 November 2023 (PST)
The tool is useable and in its original condition. If you had a reservation under the previous tool designation it has already been moved over for you.


Chamber 1 is operational and available for use. However, only recipes that run at 300C are to be ran on the tool, as the current thermocouple is only calibrated for that temperature at this time.

=====Wafer Bonder, (Suss SB6-8E)=====
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.


Please use the original tool name on SUM to make all future tool reservations.

=====Sputter #3 (AJA) - Sputter 3 Si target is consumed=====
There is no longer a need for supplemental training. If you have been previously trained on the tool but not received the supplemental training, you can once again reserve and use the tool.
Do not try to use the Si target, it is completely consumed. I am going to install a new target Friday morning.

Please feel free to email me directly with any questions you may have.

Thanks

* [https://www.terrauniversal.com/tool-belt-pocket-49in-waist-white-altessa-grid-uniform-technology-4954-60a.html Uniform Technology Tool Belt] - note the waist size, the 49” belt fits up to ~36-38” waist.

=====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.
