If the pressure gauge is to be believed, the gas will run out in five weeks. I wish to switch to freon22 on May 23 and avoid any unscheduled gas outages. Please plan accordingly. Etch testing on freon22 has been completed and is awaiting Jim McVittie's blessing.

We looked at a number of Freons. Of these F-22 gave the best results however it is not as good as F-115 was in it has a bit more undercut. Shortly, I will send out a summary of the results that we have for using F-22 with SF6 for Si etching. Thanks, Jim -------------------------------------------------------------- James P.

We are hoping that it will last until this Friday may 23rd, when we expect to remove the F-115 bottle and replace it with a large new bottle of F-22. I've put a plot of the F-115 bottle pressure at Drytek2 for your inspection, updated as of this morning, Monday May 19th. There will be no more F-115. If the bottle becomes empty before this Friday, we will have to make the change sooner than scheduled. Jim McVittie has process data showing the changes in etching characteristics when switching to recipes which will use F-22.

The change will occur tomorrow morning, Thursday, May 22, at 0700, one day earlier than originally scheduled. Please see McVittie's May 13th memo for process changes Thanks, Dick From booth at snf.stanford.edu Fri May 23 15:36:53 2003 From: booth at snf.stanford.edu (Len Booth) Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 15:36:53 -0700 Subject: Drytek poly-etch using Freon-22 Message-ID: <3ECEA285.F938D35F@snf.stanford.edu> Drytek users - As you know by now, the F-115 is gone, and has been replaced by F-22. Jim McVittie & Henry have done characterization of the F-22 in the poly etch process. The contact cleanup process is not working yet - additional process changes are being developed by Jim McVittie this weekend. Do NOT use the contact cleanup etch in the Dryteks until Jim has finished developing a new process. Those of you using poly-etch recipes which now are using F-22, a temporary multiplier must be factored into the dial setting that you must now use for the F-22 (MFC-3). MFC-3 flowing F-115 @ max setpoint 240= real flow of 240sccm MFC-3 flowing F-22 @ max setpoint 240= real flow of 110sccm Therefore those of you using F-22 in MFC-3 should expect the setpoint range to be from 0 to 240 on the dial, which will corespond to 0 to 110 sccm of F-22 measured flow on the digital readout. Examples for setting using F-22 in MFC-3: dial setting digital flow real F-22 readout Flow sccm 240 238 110 120 119 55 060 062 27 044 044 20 030 031 13 By next week we hope to correct the old recipe spec information.
