ASML Up, Job editing issue

System is fully calibrated and ready to use. We are running a newer computer, so we expect there to be some differences.

There is an issue preventing users from editing jobs, but existing jobs can be run for exposure.

One non-blocking issue: when loading my old test-exposure job, I got a "Consistency error detected" when I Appended the Batch. Clicking [Continue] did expose the whole wafer without issue. I've notified ASML, they will get back to us with a solution. // John d 18:59, 27 June 2022 (PDT)

Face-Masks Optional as of June 13

You are not required to wear a mask in UC buildings at this time. You are also not required to wear a mask in the Nanofab if desired.

We will still provide masks at the metal table in front of the cleanroom entry. See the UCSB announcement at this link.
