All,
The staff worked on the Innotec this afternoon and was able to clear
all of the faults (crystal monitor and water flow). I ran a quick
deposition to verify the tool was functional. While the faults were
corrected, I did not like what I saw with the beam shape and
focus. As a result, I put the system down.
Besides the high voltage not being stable, the beam parameters result
in a risky situation. If I attempted to center the beam at the
center of the source, the beam became so large it was interacting
with the edge of the pocket. If I moved the beam in to a focused
condition, then the beam was on the copper hearth. As a result, I
shutdown the system to protect our hardware and sources.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Ed
