High Humidity in Litho

[Mary Tang]

Sorry everyone --

The lithography area is experiencing out-of-spec humidity (52% - nominal 
spec is 45% with low and high of 40% and 50%, respectively.)  According 
to Facilities, it is because the outside weather is unusually dry and 
the control system appears to be overcompensating.  They are looking 
into this.  In the meantime, please be aware of the humidity problem -- 
you may want to delay processing of critical layers until humidity 
returns to normal.
