> Greetings:
> Thanks to an incredible effort and response by RAITH Field service
> leader Bern Steggemann, whom by chance was traveling through SFO this
> morning we have effected repairs and replacement to the ceramic ball
> mounted on Piezo post three of the XY Laser stage.
> The electrical connection to the Faraday Cup on stage also resolved
> itself with this repair.
>
> I have tested the Load Lock and Robot arm and exchange position
> settings for sample holder transfer.
> Just brought the FE-GUN back up and it will take about six hours for
> emission to stabilize and possibly a day or more to return to previous
> emission levels. Vacuum levels are elevated but safe to resume
> operations this evening.

> I loaded the Universal Sample holder and attempted to level using the
> Piezo controls, but was unable to successfully level to any less than a
> total delta WD of 0.194 mm across a 96 mm axis across a 100 mm wafer.
> Note Piezo three is the fixed reference post height that the others are
> adjusted to mechanically.
> I desire to repeat this measurement again before attempting to perform
> mechanical adjustments to both the Universal and Electrostatic chuck
> sample holders.
> Note the Std. sample holder cannot be adjusted as they are pressed in,
> its detents are worn, and likely should soon be replaced or simply
> discarded.  I will confirm with RAITH USA Inc. if I need to recalibrate
> the piezo controls before performing mechanical adjustments.
