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.
The new parts have been installed and the tool has been tested.


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

=====Job Opening: Process Engineer=====
=====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.
The Nanofab has a current job opening for a Process/Wafer-Fab Engineer, see the [https://wiki.nanofab.ucsb.edu/wiki/Nanofab_Job_Postings NanoFab Job Openings page] for details.


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.
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"'''''.
