=====Olympus DSX Microscope: Down=====
//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 18:55, 13 February 2024 (PST)
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.
=====PECVD #2 is UP=====

=====RIE 5 is up=====
=====Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Maint moved to March 3rd=====
We have postponed the Periodic Maintenance (PM) to the week of Monday March 3rd.
RIE 5 is up except for processes that use SiCl4.
Please plan your work accordingly.

=====ICP #2 Maint: Complete=====
//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 09:39, 30 January 2024 (PST)


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
=====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.


//[[User:John_d|Demis D. John]] 02:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
I'll send out an update in the next 2-3 days.


=====Oxford ALD+Ion Mill: UP=====
Thanks,
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.
//[[User:Mehalana v|Vraj Mehalana]] 10:58, 5 February 2024 (PST)


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.
=====ICP #1 is down - Update=====
Replacing the battery on the board did not resolve the tool issue.


Please use the original tool name on SUM to make all future tool reservations.
Panasonic has located a replacement board for the tool. From what I gather they need to repair and test it and are hoping to have it ready to ship by the 16th. I'd like to add that there is the possibility that this will not resolve the issue but it is the best path forward at this point.


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.

=====EBeam3 Planned Maintenance 2/21/24 - 2/22/24=====
The transfer arm installation has been postponed until next week due to other equipment being down at this time.


Thanks
The work is now scheduled for 2/21/24 - 2/22/24.
Bill Millerski
Please plan accordingly.

=====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"'''''.


=====Suss SB6-8E=====
// [[User:John d|John d]] 13:49, 7 November 2023 (PST)
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.
=====Wafer Bonder, (Suss SB6-8E)=====
-Aidan
SUSS aims to be on site in early February. We’ll will send out an email once I get confirmation for a specific date.
