backup non-metal head1 switched to dirty metal

[Gary Yama (SNF)]

It looks like there was a problem with the original dirty metal head.

Currently CMP is set for dirty metal, conditioner, platen & head1. (the 
head1 that is now installed is the backup head1, non-metal, from Ed's 
office, thanks for letting us in Mary)

The non-functioning original dirty metal is on top of the CMP.

Non-metal platen, conditioner & head1 w/ clean retainer ring in under 
the tool.

Will need to get spare retainer rings, since we have no other spares.

I am getting a quote from Eminess for a IC1000, grooved & stacked stiff 
pad for topology wafers.

Thanks Sangbum for doing the swaps of the retainer rings/heads.
