Head was repaired and returned today. A quick test showed correct performance. Note also that the pin board has been repaired so all 4 pins are now present. Lets keep it that way so please be careful when loading the tip holder!

Stepper #3 (ASML DUV) - Pneumatics repaired, extra day for optics

We were able to repair the pneumatics issue and are currently running reticle and wafer reproducability runs overnight to exercise/test the system.

Consequently the optics was only started today, so will take one day longer than planned - we will extend this visit to Thursday to complete the work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
