Unaxis-Dep: Up

New bottle of Deuterated Silane (SiD4) has been installed, we've qualified the SiO2 process and it looks good. Films are ready to use. // John d 10:11, 17 June 2022 (PDT)

ASML Down

We're in the process of installing the new computer and other hardware. Barring unforseen issues, we expect to have the system running and calibrated by Thursday or Friday.

We are installing a new computer on the system. We have all user jobs backed up, so no user data will be lost in the transfer. However, the sync scripts for python ASML-JobCreator scripting will need to be re-written, so the automatic syncing for JobCreator will be unavailable until I rewrite those. // John d 07:48, 21 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.
