I think that problem is resolved now, as I executed dozens of transfers last night on a dummy wafer with no breaking/chipping. I cleared the broken wafer, and I think identified the root cause. The machine was down all day today because I couldn't get it to pump down. I finally managed to get past that problem, and measured the leakrate at <0.25 millitorr per minute, which is by far the lowest I've ever seen it. (Mainly because I first thought the pumpdown might be a leak caused by the chamber service, so I went through the whole chamber to make better seals). In going through the chamber in detail, I did notice is that seals inside are getting eaten fast, probably due to excessively long O2 cleans. We should probably limit these cleans to ~20 minutes in a given day of etching. Also, the screw caps are pretty much completely gone (again, due to a lot of "cleaning"), and we have no replacements in stock. We need to order more, but in the meantime, I don't expect the wafers coming out to be "iron free". So, I believe the machine is ok to use now. It's still listed as a "problem" from Ed, but I believe that is now completely resolved. The only (minor) issue that I noticed is that the loader is loading the wafer a little "deep" into the chamber. Keep an eye on the position. Happy Etching. -Eric From cbax at stanford.edu Mon Jun 25 15:47:11 2007 From: cbax at stanford.edu (cbax at stanford.edu) Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:47:11 -0700 Subject: Dry Pump Message-ID: <20070625154711.mgfvobawc3280og4@webmail.stanford.edu> To All Users, The backing pump for the turbo pump is bad, it only pump down just below 200mt. The pump is been removed and will send out for repair asap. Estimated time to repair the bad dry pump is 4 to 5 days. Thanks, Cesar
