New Issues 	
	
	
	

	
None reported overnight 
	

	

	

	

	
Old Issues- Ongoing 	
	
	

	
ASML Stepper -Problem: Process restriction - Do not expose any wafers with thick resist, 3.0um 
	
and above(220-3 and 220-7 resists) until further notice. The purge/extraction hood has been removed 
	
for repair by ASML. 
	
YES Oven- Intermittent pumpdown problem. Fails to achieve setpoint. Replacement of valve 
	
body and mech pump did not solve. Adjusted N2 purge and chamber door position. 
	
Replaced door gasket on 7/24. Replaced controller 7/26. Vacuum valve replaced 7/31 
	
Replaced convectron tube and pumpline on 8/1. Replacing HMDS nupro valve today(8/9) 
	
KSCoat -Problem: Robot vacuum and wafer pick up failure at load-station. Troubleshot 
	
vacuuum problem and replaced vacuum solenoid for endeffector. Re-taught loadstation Z 
	
height positions for 4"wafers. ASML will test. Still need to teach 3",5",6" and 8" 
	
positions 	
	
	
	

	
	
	
	
	

	
Resolved Issues 	
	
	

	
ASML Stepper- Shutdown: User "junam" reports a wafer stuck at pre-aligner. Removed 
	
stranded wafer. Did hardware reset. Tested OK during daily qual. 
	
Karl Suss2 - Shutdown: User "cheinyuc" reports a Z-axis timeout error. Reset all system 
	
hardware and tested operation. 
	
SVG Dev2 - Problem: User "kcbalram" reports hotplate leaving spots on back of wafers. Unable 
	
to reproduce problem. Cleaned all critical surfaces and cycled wafers.
