I finished my 3-day run tonight so I won't be needing my reservation for Tuesday morning. Things are working pretty well. The spot size is slightly bigger than before, oweing to a swapout of the shunting bars. The thickness of the bars is very critical to determining the beam focus. I did not have a problem with my Ir dep, but the margin for error in beam aiming is now slightly less, so please use extra care when starting up the gun. I fixed the button on the manual controller. You don't have to press really hard and hope it makes contact. We have no decent Cr target. The last two we got from Plasmaterials were contaminated, and not Cr. The only existing target is so thin, I would not recommend using it. You can get away with using Cr pellets, but it is not ideal because the dep rate is non-uniform, and it doesn't guarantee you won't blast through the bottom. There is a jar of pellets in the safe and since it has no name on it, I am assuming it is for public use. I would recommend finding another source for targets since Plasmaterials is way overpriced and I lost several months of work due to their bad target. Thanks again for your patience.

Hope what had happened won't bring too much trouble to all other users in the future runs. When we were trying to lowered the bell jar last night, we pushed the jar to one side in order to align the seal well, but this time the force was too much and one of the Aluminum shield pieces knocked on the side of the holder for the ion gun and got bented. Thanks for the great help from Eric and Ceiser, they helped us to take the shield off and make that flattened again. After that it looked OK and this morning I talked to Jim about the problem. Right now he's working on that to see if the jar can be adjusted so that it won't have the misaligning problem when the jar is lowered. In any case, it would be better to be very careful in the future when lower the jar and make sure the shield won't run into anything when it is lowered. There is another problem but right now we don't know what is the reason. While we were trying to deposited the metal, the thickness monitor doesn't function correctly. It doesn't show any deposition even the target is already very bright. And this morning we even heard a alarm when the power was at 40%. This could relate to the material we are depositing, if anyone use the innotec later and find out the thickness monitor is working would you please send us an email? I am really sorry about all these. The innotec should be really treated with great care when we use it.
