=====Olympus DSX Microscope: Down===== |
|||
⚫ | |||
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. |

=====MLA 150 Service Next Week - REMINDER===== |
|||
-- Tony Bosch |

Tues (2/6): 11:30 am - 5 pm |
|||
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 |

Wed (2/7): 8 am - 5 pm |

Thurs (2/8) 8 am - 5 pm (if needed). |

|||
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. |

Please use the original tool name on SUM to make all future tool reservations. |
|||
⚫ | |||
The servicing is completed for both of the MJB-3s. The stage issue with the IR system has been resolved as well. |

=====Dry Etch, Si Deep RIE (PlasmaTherm DSEIII) - DSE Update===== |
|||
We received most of the chamber assembly replacement parts today. We are still waiting on the lamps and chamber o-rings which are scheduled to be delivered in the next couple of days. Once we have all the parts, we'll start to reassemble the chamber. |
|||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
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. |

=====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. |
|||
The tool remains down. We did not find any "smoking gun" with the PC but did find that the PC's power supply had a non functional fan and the power supply did not test as good (granted it would still power up the PC). We will continue troubleshooting the PC issue in the morning. |
