===== EVG is down - Update=====
I checked in with our vendor today as it has been 2 weeks since they got started on our RF generator. They are waiting on a part for it that should be arriving on Monday. If all goes well we should have the unit back late next week. I'll check with the vendor again on Wednesday and send out another update.


=====Olympus DSX Microscope: Down=====
-Lee
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.

=====Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Tool UP=====
=====Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Maint moved to March 3rd=====
We have postponed the Periodic Maintenance (PM) to the week of Monday March 3rd.
I have recalibrated the system focus, system is ready for use, back to your *normal* focus offsets. No need to run and add IQC.
Please plan your work accordingly.

=====ICP #2 Maint: Complete=====
Please do let me know if you see IQC focus is out of the ±50nm spec again - it was intermittent for a while. I believe particulate contamination was the cause (from the last system repair).


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
Reminder to be *extremely* careful to clean the underside of your wafers and ensure not particles are on the Chrome side of your photomask! Let me know if you see any problems with users following these cleaning procedures, or if you have questions/need a refresher on this. // [[User:John_d|Demis D. John]] 00:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

=====Oxford ALD+Ion Mill: UP=====
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.

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.

Please feel free to email me directly with any questions you may have.

Thanks

=====New Gowns: Toolbelts purchases=====
We are required to switch to new gowns in January. The new gowns won’t have pockets, but you are allowed to purchase cleanroom tool belts. Please ask staff for which tool belts you can purchase.

Two vendors for cleanroom belts we are using are listed here, you may request others:
* [https://www.terrauniversal.com/tool-belt-pocket-49in-waist-white-altessa-grid-uniform-technology-4954-60a.html Uniform Technology Tool Belt] - note the waist size, the 49” belt fits up to ~36-38” waist.
* [https://www.fishersci.com/shop/products/cleanroom-fannypack-1-ea-white/NC0723118?searchHijack=true&searchTerm=cleanroom-fannypack-1-ea-white&searchType=Rapid&matchedCatNo=NC0723118 HiTEC Fannypack]

=====Suss SB6-8E=====
=====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.
