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… |

We finally got the slit valve assemble to seal correctly after making a number of mechanical adjustments. The tool is currently running an O2 clean and should be available to use within the next 10-15 minutes. Please let us know if you encounter any issues. The load lock seems like it's taking a while to get down to 0mT but that could just be a product of being open for the past several days. |

I am looking at sending that generator on the week of March 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 service have replaced the interferometer laser, and the system is pumping down overnight. I'll run calibrations and checks tomorrow and expect the Velion to be open for general use on Wednesday morning. |

Two vendors for cleanroom belts we are using are listed here, you may request others: |

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)

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. -Aidan // Demis D. John 00:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

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)
