What does all this mean? Roham & Hass ( Shipley) will not make or deliver any Ldd26W ( our developer) that we use with 3612 resist which contain this chemical by *January of 2009.* This means that December will be the last of the shipment of the developer. I like to switch even earlier if would be possible. I have started running experiment with other developers and that will take some time for me. I am running the process side by side and then do SEM and then repeat it one more time to prove that all is under control. *I have created a recipe #8 on SVGDEV2 for me please leave it alone so I do not have to program it every time. * I am trying to do this as efficiently and quickly as possible and share the information with you so you have enough time to confirm the change for yourself . I am sure that the change will most likely be transparent to your process. The dead line I have given my self would be till September and if all goes well then you will have enough time to confirm that for your self if you choose to. If you have concerns/suggestions or have some extra time that you can put toward community service, let Mary or I know and we will put that toward a good use. My apology for sending out duplicate emails. mahnaz From mahnaz at stanford.edu Wed Jul 16 17:11:32 2008 From: mahnaz at stanford.edu (Mahnaz Mansourpour) Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:11:32 -0700 Subject: Standard program Message-ID: <487E8E34.1080100@stanford.edu> Hello all, I have received few complains from labmembers that some one changes the time in standard program 3,1 from 30 seconds to 25 seconds on both tracks.. If you are the one who is doing it, STOP. First of all you are not suppose to make any changes to standard programs. Secondly, there should be two programs on the SVGDEV available so copy the program 3,1 and change the time. If there are other reasons, see Mario, Gary or I and we will help. mahnaz From mahnaz at stanford.edu Thu Jul 24 17:43:25 2008 From: mahnaz at stanford.edu (Mahnaz Mansourpour) Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:43:25 -0700 Subject: usage Message-ID: <488921AD.5080209@stanford.edu> Hello all, It has come to my attention along with few complains that during busy times one person enables both tracks. I like to say that, this is not a fair practice or allowed. We all like to get our work done in a timely fashion So please be consider of your peers and other labmembers and ONLY USE BOTH TRACKS WHEN NO ONE ELSE NEEDS IT. This is true for SVGcoaters as well. If there are issues or concerns please do let me know. mahnaz
