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. Purge hood re-installation scheduled for
today(11/6) 
	

	
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. 
	

	
KS Coat- Problem: User "lindaohara" reports a coolant water flow problem. Investigated

	
and found the water pump to be bad. Motor is OK. Water pump replaced on 11/2. Good water

	
flow. Cannot reach setpoint of 21 degrees C.. Suspect bad chiller. Will investigate
further.
