The last User reported a problem reading current to the std. sample holders Faraday Cup and we are currently troubleshooting this issue. I am starting late at 1:30 PM on the system to allow the previous User time to complete her write due to the delay that just occurred to her session time. Thank you for your support!

We are measuring ~ 0.770 - 0.880 mm total delta working distance across a 100 mmm wafer -- when it should be less than 0.124 mm on the std. sample holder and less than 2 um on the USH. Users are requested to reply if they encountered a stage or loading sample holder crash or misfortune during their operations over the last two weeks. Users writing on the system the last two weeks are requested to carefully inspect their patterns before pattern transfer to confirm their CD's are to specifications.

Message-ID: Good Morning, I inspected the three piezo mounts with the stage unloaded from the system and found piezo post three's ceramic ball missing. Evidently it had broken or sheared off the kinetic mount. Additonally found the slider contact strip for the sample holders faraday cup connection had become bent and no longerr making suitable contact to the groundung pin on the sample holder. Raith field service personnel are on their way and should be here in an hour or so. Caught them just as they were to leave from SFO to travel back back to Germany after another Bay area installation.

The electrical connection to the Faraday Cup on stage also resolved itself with this repair. I have tested the Load Lock and Robot arm and exchange position settings for sample holder transfer. Just brought the FE-GUN back up and it will take about six hours for emission to stabilize and possibly a day or more to return to previous emission levels. vacuum levels are elevated but safe to resume operations this evening. I loaded the Universal Sample holder and attempted to level using the Piezo controls, but was unable to successfully level to any less than a total delta WD of 0.194 mm across a 96 mm axis across a 100 mm wafer. Note Piezo three is the fixed reference post height that the others are adjusted to mechanically. I desire to repeat this measurement again before attempting to perform mechanical adjustments to both the Universal and Electrostatic chuck sample holders. Note the Std. sample holder cannot be adjusted as they are pressed in, its detents are worn, and likely should soon be replaced or simply discarded. I will confirm with RAITH USA Inc. if I need to recalibrate the piezo controls before performing mechanical adjustments. With some reservations I am releasing the system to experienced users only. Users should carefully check their focus and perform a write field alignment within ~ 5 mm of where they intend to write their patterns. BE SURE TO center all piezos as you come ontO the system. Thank you for your support!
