URL: From jwc at snf.stanford.edu Wed Dec 1 12:18:40 2004 From: jwc at snf.stanford.edu (James Conway) Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 12:18:40 -0800 Subject: RAITH Circles parameters for exposure In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <41AE2720.50104@snf.stanford.edu> Greetings Raith Users: In my previous post to the group last week I made a mistake in the parameter specifications stated regarding the parameters used to write RAITH circles. I checked with RAITH application specialist Joseph Klingfus and reiterated the parameters for RAITH circles. Specifically RAITH circles uses the AREA DOSE specification and not the SINGLE PIXEL LINE DOSE. David Fattal was the first to bring this to my attention. RAITH circles specifically generated using the RAITH editor and not any open path element such as single pixel lines: Area step establishes the interval between the nested rings of RAITH circles written as a single pixel line element. Area dwell time is used from the defaults established in the exposure dialog box. AREA DOSE is used to establish the dose to reach by varying dwell time for any Beam Current measured. More notes specific to the very nice work Ofer Levi is doing on his project: RE: Circularity of circles written using RAITH circles: While there is not a system specification for circularity of circles written using RAITH circles there are several factors that would greatly influence circularity of the exposure result: 1. Proper Writefield Alignment must be completed or you will generated ellipses based on the result of the ZOOM U, V parameters. This is a decided challenge in recent months because images drift during image acquisition. 2. Beams speeds should be minimized and within the optimized parameter space, i.e., you must have beam speed below 10 mm/sec with an optimal value between 4 and 6 mm/sec for best results. 3. Sample Surface charging particularly with oxide and nitrides underlying the PMMA. Use a charge compensation coating to reduce or eliminate sample charging. 4. Intra pattern proximity effects could have a minor effect on Photonic crystals circularity , particularly at the defect site added to a PC if it is greatly reduces the dimension between elements. 5. Careful and consistent development time and gentle technique must be maintained or the CD dimension of the circles will vary greatly from sample to sample run. Hope that this information is useful to everyone. Anyone care to comment on measurements they have made on Photonic Crystals or any RAITH circle writes? Thank you for your support!

I feel the fewer rules the better, and resist all suggestions to add more rules as people should be willing to work together to make the utilization and throughput optimal all of the time. Let us all try to keep things simple and clear. Too many rules make it hard to understand and follow for both new and old users alike. Then this will add the complexity to the semantics of the rules and various interpretations of the rules, and subsequent evolution of 'sneaky' methods to get around the rules we have in place... The 16 minute rule in place allows you to show up as late as minute 16 after your reservation period starts and you still have a reservation slot. if you don't call, post a note on the system, nor indicate you will be using the reservation before this time you will loose your reservation. I request users follow this order of hierarchy: First the user currently enabled on the system can continue his EBL session if desired; or the next user scheduled on CORAL, if present and ready to write, can come on the system early. Finally if the previous mentioned persons can't write then any available RAITH user that enables the tool on CORAL has the cancelled/no-show session. It is only at his or her courtesy if they hand off the system back to the previous user that was scheduled if there remains time on the reservation slot. Often Users will exchange time slots at this occurrence such as the common one user running late in the cleanroom and the following user is ready and present to write. A little courtesy and cooperation between users will go a long way towards increasing throughput on the system. Secondly if you know a user is coming on time I would expect you to cancel the remainder of your run and start unloading at the end of your reservation slot, or beg well in advance for their permission to extend into that persons reservation time at their option. I feel it is is also important to be flexible with this regard as we all have had both good and bad days on the system. It would be expected that the hand off would occur cleanly during the first 15 minute of the reservation. I feel their is no practical means nor need to add any rules about short open times between reservations; but will reconsider if people start using this as a ''sneaky'' method to extend their utilization of the system in deference to users whom also need access to the system. Please be above board and in plain view regarding all reservations, cancellations, and hand-offs informally between users should be posted to this discussion list. Your comments are invited.

Today we have been observing FE-gun emission instability and an increase in amplitude of fluctuations through our session this afternoon. Beam Currents were observed varying from 0.1550 to 0.1568 through a three minute period of measurements. 10 kV 30 um aperture 5.12 mm WD. This is to be expected as we approach the end of the FE-Gun's useful life. We experienced this before just before the gun went down last year. During our write the EHT also tripped off and we had to abort the run and restart the gun again once. No EHT trip event was recorded on the LEO server but the raith software caught this and alerted us as a FATAL error. Users are requested to record all gun trips and emission variability observed into the run logbook in the results and comments section and in the CORAL report problems section. 2. For the third time this week upon inserting a USB stick into the front USB port on the RAITH computer the computer powered down abruptly. I am continuing to evaluate this problem to determine where the exact problem may be. Users are requested to report all computer crashed for any means onto CORAL make comment.

You risked loosing your session to any user that comes into the lab and enabled the system on CORAL. I had thought that your reservation started at 18:00 and we pushed very hard to have the system available and ready for you to load at 18:00. This morning I checked CORAL again and I do see that your reservation started at 18:30 -- my mistake. I am only human and normally my reservations run from 1300 to 1800.

I have been working with James' help on a project and I am in desperate need to get some exposures done before the machine shuts down. As of now there's available time between 2am-8am Sat and 2:30am-7am on Sun. I need about 1hr of exposure time. Is there someone who is willing to help me out? I can return the favor by providing processing time, dinner, alcohol or any other compensation you might ask for. Thanks for your attention, Alexandros From jwc at snf.stanford.edu Fri Dec 10 11:43:07 2004 From: jwc at snf.stanford.edu (James Conway) Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 11:43:07 -0800 Subject: Announcement: Ebeam Lab moves to Class 100 Cleanroom protocols starting January 3, 2005 Message-ID: <41B9FC4B.1090906@snf.stanford.edu> Greetings Ebeam Lab Users and SNF Lab Members: Starting January 3, 2005 we will be upgrading the Ebeam Lab area to strict Class 100 cleanroom protocols. From that date forward all entrees into the Ebeam Lab will be through the main SNF Cleanroom entryway and then accessing the Ebeam Lab through the door from the Lithography area. You must following all standard gowning and glove procedures for the main SNF cleanroom area. There will not be access through either of the two hallway doors into the Ebeam Lab other than for emergency egress. The Ebeam Lab will henceforth become a restricted area within the SNF Cleanroom. Access to this lab will be open to qualified Electron Beam Tool Users only unless escorted by a qualified User or SNF staff member. This change is being made to improve the quality of all work performed in the Lab and to meet the needs for projects which must maintain clean contamination level. All Users will benefit from this change with improvement to the quality of their processing results. All Lab Members are requested to support this change and make this transition complete as we move into the New Year. Reply's to beamtools at snf.stanford.edu discussion list please. Thank you for your support!

He is progressing well but not quite ready to operate the system on his own as of yet. His patterns expose very quickly and users before and after him could easily share the ride. These are shot dot array exposures. Thank you, James Conway FYI: I will be out of town this weekend and off the cell phone grid.
