Dry Etch, Si Deep RIE (PlasmaTherm DSEIII) - DSE Update
We received most of the chamber assembly replacement parts today. We are still waiting on the lamps and chamber o-rings which are scheduled to be delivered in the next couple of days. Once we have all the parts, we'll start to reassemble the chamber.
I'll send out an update in the next 2-3 days.
Thanks, //Vraj Mehalana 10:58, 5 February 2024 (PST)
ICP #1 is down
The tool remains down. We did not find any "smoking gun" with the PC but did find that the PC's power supply had a non functional fan and the power supply did not test as good (granted it would still power up the PC). We will continue troubleshooting the PC issue in the morning.
