If you visit our website www.probespecialists.com you will see that besides full probing systems, parts and board repair, we offer full field service support, training, maintenance contracts, along with upgrades and refurbishing in case an older system needs to be brought back to original specifications. Any need to get any new features added to an existing prober, we are simply the best. Our refurbishing and upgrade processes bring an older system back to life, looking and performing like it was new again, extending the value of the original investment. Whatever the service requirement, we will beat anyone on prices, and we have the largest inventory for hard to find parts or can have them made fast and affordably. We are proud to offer the fastest and most cost effective board repair that you will find anywhere. Quick turn repairs can be arranged with a phone call, and can be provided at no extra cost. Just a call us for an RMA number and we'll handle all the details. You will also see we offer complete Wafer Prober systems and most optional equipment for them. We offer a comprehensive selection of EG2000, 3000, and 4000 series probers, along with UF3000, UF300, UF200/A/AL/S/SFL/SA and APM90A TSK Probers. It is an understatement that in these tough economic times it is more important than ever to provide the best value for our customers. We would be glad to sit down and discuss any way we can be of service on a more detailed basis, and are confident that the prices we offer, outstanding customer service, quality, and attention to detail, that you will be 100% satisfied. Any interest please contact Randy Medina at randy at probespecialists.com for any questions you might have. As a side note, please be aware our website will be going through a slight upgrade shortly to better represent our offerings. >From the dedicated team here at Probe Specialists, thank you and we appreciate you taking the time to look us over.

Not sure if anyone can help me with this, but I have a Cressington 108 sputtering machine and I need the following information: target voltage substrate bias (or voltage) substrate temperature I checked the website http://www.cressington.com/spec_108.html , and I could not find what I needed. Any information that anyone can provide, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <49CBED29.70909@stanford.edu> Hello Labnetworkers -- We are interested in trying to find, or even build, a safer hotplate. As you probably know, these things are ubiquitous and probably the most hazardous thing in the lab. There was a presentation from a major insurance company a while ago which said that the greatest damage payouts in the semiconductor industry were due to fires caused by hot pots or heating plates -- scarier still was that majority of these incidents occurred during operation while someone was ostensibly present. Anyway, we (actually, Jim Haydon, one of our engineers) have been on the search for a safer hotplate -- but just haven't found one that has all the features we'd like. (Does anyone have recommendations???) Because we haven't had a lot of success, Jim has initiated some discussions with one of the best controlled hot plate manufacturers we've found. They are interested in working with us, but wanted to see if there might be a broader market (other than just our lab) for these things. So, this email to you. Some of the features we'd like to see: - Ability to program recipes and store multiple recipes (for example, hot phosphoric nitride strip versus solvent-based resist strip). - Programmable max temp (right now, we install a hard stop -- but it would be nice to be able to change this depending on the process need/recipe.) - Monitor and control of either hotplate temp and solution temp (using a plug-in TC - most do this) - Active comparison between hotplate temp and solution temp (built into the recipe - ensures solution doesn't evaporate off, for example) - Automatic shut down feature (if solution temp changes suddenly when a beaker breaks, for example) - Interlock control on the low voltage side - Manual reset switch - when the hot plate shuts down (if a beaker breaks for example - human intervention is required to reset and get going again) - Manual reset switch - on a process timer (our plates on timers so shutoff after two hours, unless the operator resets the timer) So, if anyone is interested in an updated hot plate for general lab use, your feedback would be much appreciated. Please get in touch with us and let us know your level of interest ("I want a dozen" or "here's our alternative solution") Thanks, Mary & Jim at SNF -- Mary X.

In-Reply-To: <49CBED29.70909@stanford.edu> References: <49CBED29.70909@stanford.edu> Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.2.20090327091841.02b6b1c0@engr.wisc.edu> Mary, Just a couple of quick thoughts...... You might add a secondary over-temp TC and over-temp controller. Most heated baths have this and it would be nice to prevent run away temps on the hotplate. We've also wondered about making some kind of "egg timer" on the hotplate that would require the user to punch a button every "X" minutes to keep the power on. This would provide hardware enforcement of the user's presence to monitor the hotplate.
