- Do NOT exit task streaming!
- If you exit the Task Streaming screen, the batch will not be able to be aborted, usually requiring a software reboot.
- If an "Abort Batch" Popup window appears:
- Click the "Help" button, and take photos of the error chain
- Click the "Help" button again, and write down timestamp of error in logbook/take screenshot - this helps engineer analyze the log file.
- Choose "Abort Batch, Clear Litho Cluster" -
- This will send all your wafers through the stepper, from Port 1 → Port 2. Thus no wafers will be waiting for exposure. This is the easiest way to make sure all wafers are taken out of the machine.
- Wait for the task status to change from "Aborting" to "Aborted"
- Abort the Batch: Make sure all batches say "Aborted" or "Completed". If not, choose the task from the Task List, click Batch > "Abort". May need to also click Queue: Stop.
Your wafer(s) should be removed to Port #2, and the task should state "Aborted" on the task list.
Please make sure there are no tasks in the "Waiting" state - please abort these tasks before leaving the system, or the next user's wafers will be shot with your job!
