=====Lab Shutdown Reminder=====

I will have to take the AFM head unit back to Bruker for repair. The height sensor failed all the tests I tried so the Z-piezo/strain gauge unit will most likely need to be replaced. SO for the foreseeable future, the AFM is down.--Demis
To accommodate an annual test of the back-up generator we will be shutting down the lab on Wednesday June 14th from 7am to 8am.

After working with our FSE over the phone, we feel the culprit is a bound up Y axis motor for the top side microscope. Unfortunately, this axis is at the bottom of the microscope assembly and will require the removal of both the X and Z axis sub assemblies. I am awaiting proper instructions on how to dismantle all of this and the FSE is also checking with some of their contacts to see if there is an easier solution.

I removed the wafer that was stuck in the process chamber. Once again it was user error. You MUST remove ALL of the resist from the outer 5-7mm of your wafer when processing with 100mm substrates.

Sadly the system is still down. I looked into the RF1 tuning issues and it looks as though it has failed completely. I tried replacing the AMT controller but the failure mode didn't change. I did notice that when I placed the AMT controller in Manual and tried to drive the caps the matching network was unresponsive. It looks like the matching network may need to be replaced.-Tony

I have been asked by a few users about using the tool in TSA mode for exposures that do not require alignment even through the topside microscope is not functional. I have just tested the tool in TSA mode and it will work like this, just note that the topside microscope will not come down.

We have received almost all the replacement parts for the tool except the new chuck.
