JEOL SEM#2: Down

After troubleshooting the system with JEOL we’ve determined that the leak is most likely in the gate valve. JEOL is arranging to have a service engineer be out here early next week. We’ll have an update on Monday. -- Aidan // John d 19:04, 29 January 2023 (PST)

MLA Service: Monday Jan 30th 5:30pm

The MLA will be down beginning on Monday 1/30 at 5:30 pm and the tool will be unavailable until around 5 pm the following day (Tuesday 1/31). HIMT needs to have Germany remote into the tool that evening to address the software issues we have been having. I will send an email out on Tuesday once the tool is available.
