We have exchanged the controller to the EHT section on the gun power supply, and several other sub-systems, as parts arrived at SNF. We have been tracing an odd electrical voltage spike that was affecting components across several sun-systems including the stage. We are optimistic that we will be able bring the system back up tomorrow for testing. Users whom would like to assist in testing should introduce themselves to Lev Markov with RAITH late tomorrow afternoon in the Ebeam lab. Thank you for your support.

Yesterday we rebuilt the T loader arm, replacing the belt and cleaned the drive gear. No other problems were seen on inspections and many test of the robot arm. We have had three load unload cycles completed during User runs and so far we have not seen any problems. We will continue to monitor and seek out the cause of last evenings problems urgently. If any User encounters any problems on the tool they should see me, or contact me by cell phone, immediately . Thank you for your support!

Message-ID: <492C3ED1.20505@snf.stanford.edu> Greetings PMMA Users: All bottles of User labeled odd lots and non-standard viscosities of PMMA in the SNF Cleanroom should be finished up preferably by depositing these materials on wafers by the end of the year at shutdown. At days end on Tuesday December 16, 2008 I will dispose of all PMMA batches not consumed, when they will be packed up and safely discarded This is to aid in cleaning up the SNF cleanroom, and to reduce the volume and amounts of odd lots stored in the Lab for the annual inventory of chemicals. It is recommended to coat up wafers with these materials so we don't have to throw them away and pay extra disposal cost.

I think it all depends on the cleanup used prior to the MaN-spin coating. You cannot reply on a previous prime layer to stay intact after other resist processing. It is just a delicate mono-layer!!! This week I coated several wafers with 1.0 um oxide after YES priming and MaN-2403 adhesion was fine with no blistering evident. These wafers had been cleaned on wbnonmetal using the 9:1 H2SO4:H2O2 etchant, 6X Dump rinses and 1X SRD rinsed and then immediately put into the prime oven. The wafer was coated with resist immediately after the prime process was completed. You shouldn't be surprised in the least that you had adhesion issues on your wafer after you stripped off ZEP- 520 resist and had employed a previous YES primed layer -- it likely became contaminated in the two days it sat out. YES prime layers should be consider good for about a maximum of 24 hours before you should consider repeating the YES Prime after a complete wafer clean sequence is repeated. If you obtain excellent adhesion which passes NIST Peel test I and II without YES prime fine just do it in your process. You will need to provide more data and higher N counts before I will buy in that priming is not necessary for my process which was tested over more than 20 wafer lots to date.
