=====DSE is UP=====
===== Raith EBL Update =====
Raith replaced every item that was left to replace in the column on Monday. Yesterday they performed some quick tests @ 50kV and the issue with deflector settling was gone. This is an extremely positive result! It almost certainly suggests that the issue has been repaired. However, tests @ 100 kV remain to confirm the behavior and we are doing so later today and early tomorrow morning.
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.


Thanks, Aidan
I am pretty confident that we are going to have a fully functional EBL system available for use early next week!

Due to a DDoS attack affecting the Signupmonkey server, we have restricted access to the website to US locations only, including both the Nanofab Wiki and Signupmonkey.
Raith service need to work on the Velion a little longer than anticipated. I'll keep the tool down until 2pm tomorrow (Tuesday). I'll send further updates if anything changes.

Optical AF has been calibrated and Defocus + Dose values are the same as before. PneuAF has not been checked et, but we expect a shift in PneuAF Defocus due to the Pneumatic nozzle replacement.

=====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.
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.


I will send out an update once we have one.

=====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.
