ASML Quarterly Maintenance: Mon Feb 10th
We will be performing the Quarterly PM on the ASML next week, Mon Feb 10th, through at least Thurs Feb 13th, possibly into Friday. // Demis D. John 19:44, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
ICP #2 Scheduled Maint next Tuesday 2/4
ICP#2 will be unavailable a good chunk of the day this coming Tuesday. We will be cleaning the chamber and servicing the throttle valve as we believe it may be the source of the reaction chamber pressure errors (plus it is due for servicing).

Oxford ALD+Ion Mill: UP
The tool is useable and in its original condition. If you had a reservation under the previous tool designation it has already been moved over for you.
Chamber 1 is operational and available for use. However, only recipes that run at 300C are to be ran on the tool, as the current thermocouple is only calibrated for that temperature at this time.
Please use the original tool name on SUM to make all future tool reservations.
There is no longer a need for supplemental training. If you have been previously trained on the tool but not received the supplemental training, you can once again reserve and use the tool.
Please feel free to email me directly with any questions you may have.

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:
- Uniform Technology Tool Belt - note the waist size, the 49” belt fits up to ~36-38” waist.
- HiTEC Fannypack

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. -Aidan // Demis D. John 00:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
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. //Vraj Mehalana 14:17, 1 March 2024 (PST)
