=====Fluorine ICP: DOWN=====
=====Christmas Lab Shutdown: Dec 22-25=====
Users,
Hello All,
To perform annual maintenance, we are planning to have the lab shut down from '''''9 am on Monday December 22 through 9 am Friday December 26th'''''.


Please plan accordingly.
The shaft that actuates the isolation valve between the loadlock and the process chamber has broken. I have reached out to Plasmatherm to see if they happen to have a spare but the odds are exceedingly low. We will update you all as we know more, but it will be down through the weekend and into early next week.

=====Lab Open=====
Hello All,

Following the campus-wide power shutoff,
The fab is open but the following equipment still has lingering issues:
Unaxis ICP-PECVD - Main computer is not coming up
ALD/CAIBE - All chambers down. Bill is still working on it.
Fluorine Etcher - Will remain down until it can be addressed Monday.
EB3 - Cryo regen failed, on second regen so should come up later.
GCA Autostep - Having computer issues.
The ALD/CABE and EB3 have a more than fair chance of coming back up today. Bill will have those updates along with the status of the Autostep. The Unaxis and Fluorine etcher will not be coming up until sometime next week at the earliest.

Best,
Tony Bosch

=====EVG - Scheduled downtime=====
I am looking at sending that generator on the week of the 24th or 31st. It should not take that long, but I would plan for it to be down for 3 weeks.

Please let me know if this does not work for you or if you prefer one week over the other.

=====Raith Velion Down=====
There is a fault with the laser interferometer stage on the Raith Velion FIB. I have contacted Raith service for advice on how to proceed, I will send an update when I know more. The tool is down until further notice.

=====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.

=====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.

I will send out an update once we have one.

=====ICP1 Down=====
The board we were waiting on arrived, but it did not resolve the tool issue. We are working with Panasonic on the next steps.
