ASML Stepper- Problem: User "eperalta" reports that the software locked up during job
editing 
	
Zygo - Problem: User "lindaw" reports that CD drive not working 
	

	

	

	
Old Issues- Ongoing 	
	
	

	
ASML Stepper- Purge hood removed again due to contamination issue and damage to 	

	
wafer table optics. The following process restrictions are in effect: 1- No thick resist
processing 
	
(3.0 microns and above) until further notice. Possible re-installation within the next
2 weeks 
	
but dependant on ASML's available resources 	
	
	

	
YES Oven- Intermittent pumpdown problem. Fails to achieve setpoint. Performed a leakcheck

	
on 9/28). Identified a leak in the chamber( rear/lower right corner). Investigating
options. 
	
KSCoat -Problem: Robot wafer pickup at load station. OK to process 4" wafers. Still
need 
	
to check 3", 5" 6" and 8" wafer sized and re-teach as needed.
