So feel confident about using the tool in the interim. If any issues, let me know immediately.// [[User:John_d|Demis D. John]] 15:52, 6 August 2024 (PDT) |

So the suspect now is the fine focus coil in the column (one of the factory engineers predicted stitch shifts when a faulty fine focus coil is present which essentially replicated the errors we are now seeing) and the question now is how to get one of these sent to UCSB. They are a factory install item so for us to get one, and one that has been tested and confirmed to be fully operational, would require it to be taken from a tool currently under fabrication on the production line. |

A third party bonder repair company will be out here the week of the 26th. The goal is to install the new top heater and then to do a full PM. If all goes well the tool will be available to use late that week. I’ll send out another email once I have more information. Thanks, Aidan. |

We are close, very close, but still not quite there. And I am really sorry that is still the case… |

Chemical processing is UP
There was a short ~30min campus water outage, but it has now been restored. Chemical usage/processing is now allowed as normal. // Demis D. John 18:36, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
Raith EBL Update
Unfortunately the fix discussed in the last update turned out to be a good news/bad news thing. The good news is that the majority of the field distortion problem we have experienced since the install has been addressed. However the bad news is that there is still a residual settling effect that is distorting the field in one part of the field only and prevents the tool from fully meeting specifications. So it turned out to a layers of an onion kind of thing – because of course it did.
So the suspect now is the fine focus coil in the column (one of the factory engineers predicted stitch shifts when a faulty fine focus coil is present which essentially replicated the errors we are now seeing) and the question now is how to get one of these sent to UCSB. They are a factory install item so for us to get one, and one that has been tested and confirmed to be fully operational, would require it to be taken from a tool currently under fabrication on the production line.
We are close, very close, but still not quite there. And I am really sorry that is still the case… -Bill // Demis D. John 22:53, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
