Head was repaired and returned today. A quick test showed correct performance. Note also that the pin board has been repaired so all 4 pins are now present. Lets keep it that way so please be careful when loading the tip holder!

So until then, please limit the longer runs to 2 wafers max. If you have more than 2 wafers to run on a longer recipe then wait about 5-10 minutes in between batches.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

MLA Service this Tuesday

DSE is UP

I’ve completed the installation of the new spool and lamps and the tool is free to use. We’ve run a number of different etches and upon initial inspection everything looks normal. However, it’s recommended you start with a test etch in case there is a slight shift in process.

Suss SB6-8E

When the vendor came in to install the new top heater he wasn't able to get the z-axis (elevator motor) to move. He was able to install the new heater and do a PM on the rest of the tool. We are ordering a new z-axis controller on the recommendation of the vendor. If all goes well this should solve the issue and make the bonder fully operational. I'll send out an email once the new controller has been installed.

YES is available

The error has been cleared and I ran a shorter 5 minute recipe with no warning/error.

This seems to be exclusive to the longer (8+ minute recipes), which are throwing warnings for every wafer run this long. It also appears that running 3 wafers on a longer recipe will result in an error and aborted run on the 3rd wafer. We are just going to have to live with this until we have our other generator back. So until then, please limit the longer runs to 2 wafers max. If you have more than 2 wafers to run on a longer recipe then wait about 5-10 minutes in between batches.

The board we were waiting on arrived, but it did not resolve the tool issue. We are working with Panasonic on the next steps. //Vraj Mehalana 14:17, 1 March 2024 (PST)
