Iulian,

We also have moved to standardized pumps for the vast majority of our tools
- a larger Ebara pump and a smaller Adixen pump (mostly for loadlocks),
both dry pumps. They were spec'd originally to meet/exceed the needs of our
existing equipment and we tested them first to verify better performance
and lifetime than our previous pumps. We have several spares and keep an
electronic log of the locations for all of them by serial number and track
accumulation. We send them directly to the vendor for service (Ebara and
Pfeiffer respectively), have had some issues in the past with other 3rd
party refurbishment companies. We have a few spare parts like the quick
disconnects for the facility water and other odds and ends that are easier
to just replace in house, but again, very few. We also do our best to spec
new equipment with the same model pumps.

Message-ID: <748bd4f01b474ab387629fbbdfc4010b@MI-MBX-PROD1.minet.ae>

Dear colleagues,

A fire broke out on Monday at one of the retail locations on our campus. The smoke from the fire got into the air intake for our cleanroom, and we can smell smoke throughout the Facility. I'd like to draw on the collective wisdom of the group to help answer the following:


1.      Recommend recovery method for the air handling system? (both upstream of the AHU) and downstream including the HEPA's.

2.      Recommended cleaning scheme for the interior of the facility?

I appreciate everyone's assistance.

Wow that's too bad..

Definitely do a particle count check in the whole facility...that may also  give some insight into the health of the HEPA units

We use a third party that deep cleans our clean room once a year..its very intense.
They wipe down the walls floor and every surface and the chases. Usually takes the entire weekend!
We do a particle count afterward and compare to pre particle checks

I would definitely have a HVAC / PE look at repositioning the air intake unit..

During the latest round of California wildfires in our area we experienced
terrible outdoor air quality, and a strong smell of smoke in the lab during
a couple days where the wind was blowing just right (or just wrong.) Lab
members were in a panic about the destruction of their devices due to the
perceived "smoke" that must also be in the lab accompanying the smell. This
just isn't the case.  The smoke smell is caused by an aromatic organic
compound called syringol. This molecule easily makes it through our air
filtering systems, but the chunky smoke (ash) particles do not. We did
particle counts during the worst of the smell and found no increase in
particles.

Your HEPAs (and more likely your primary and secondary intake filters)
should be doing almost all the work to protect the lab in this case. I
would suggest checking on the primary filters' DP after the smoke incident.
Ours ended up getting rather occluded.

I don't expect you to need to undergo any special cleaning of the interior
of the lab.

Sorry to hear that. As Richard says: "They wipe down the walls floor and every surface and the chases." Many fabs do a wipe down like that annually. Usually using cleanroom wipes and a solution of 10 to 30% Isopropyl Alcohol in DI water.

2.     Recommended cleaning scheme for the interior of the facility?

I appreciate everyone's assistance.

Hello Leslie,
I'm very sorry to hear of your misfortune.
First and foremost we would recommend replacing the filters on your air handler - you may have already done that, and a thorough cleaning of the air handler including the coils and even down to the fan blades.

Internal to the lab - downstream of the air handler, suggest you some of your HEPA filters in the cleanroom.  In my limited experience with smoke contamination, those filters will need to be replaced, but if you can inspect a few for damage (discoloration of the media), and also test a sample of the media.  At that point you will have a better idea of the level of contamination between the air handler and the final filters - and that may drive you to inspect and/or clean that ductwork.  Without knowing the material that burned, you are faced with the insidious nature of smoke that "sticks" to everyplace it is exposed.

Lastly, within the cleanroom proper you may want to do a thorough cleaning including HEPA vacuum then wipe down of all walls, ceilings, floor and tool surfaces with an IPA/water solution (sometimes called a "super clean").

The labnework community is full of folks with great experience and I'm sure you'll get additional suggestions.
Regards,
Jack

Hi Leslie,

As I mentioned in my earlier email, the impact may not be as severe as your nose thinks it is.  Your pre-filters may possibly be in dire straights, but the CR envelope may be okay.  Please click the following link and read the paper.

Expedite the acquisition of a particle monitor.  PMS in Colorado may be able to help.

Best regards and good luck,

Hi Leslie,

Sorry to hear about the troubles.  As some other suggested, I would start with particle counts.  We recently had a brush fire producing a haze of smoke (as opposed to a thick cloud) not far from our air intakes.  There was a significant burning smell within the lab, but we saw no change in particle counts.  Unless you have carbon filters installed, the burning smell will penetrate as Danny has suggested.  Similarly, we get odors from lawnmower exhaust when grass is being cut near the air intakes.  Again, we do not see any increase in particle count.

If the smell is persisting in the lab and will not go away, I suspect that your prefilters  in the make-up air unit may be contaminated with large smoke particles and ash and may therefore need to be replaced.  Our make-up air unit has two banks of prefilters in series and a hepa filter at the output.  We have gauges monitoring the pressure drop across the filters at each stage.  During our smoke event, we did not see any increase in the pressure drop across the final hepa.  Most of the large particles were captured by the first bank of Merv8 prefilters.  With this in mind, I would at least replace the first bank of pre-filters in your system (I would assume these are on a regular replacement schedule anyway).  If you have additional concerns, you can check the pressure drop across other filters in the system.

Best Regards,

Matt

LOL

I already told him the same thing yesterday... I just responded to him instead of the whole group.

I also asked him how far he was from the actual blaze as that could also be an issue ...because some particulate is going to travel farther than others and some adhere to surfaces differently, but that his pre-filters would likely do their job and he should go ahead and replace the first stages.

I also told him to reach out to us directly if he needs any help.

Best,

Mark

Hi Leslie,

Sorry to hear about the troubles.  As some other suggested, I would start with particle counts.  We recently had a brush fire producing a haze of smoke (as opposed to a thick cloud) not far from our air intakes.  There was a significant burning smell within the lab, but we saw no change in particle counts.  Unless you have carbon filters installed, the burning smell will penetrate as Danny has suggested.  Similarly, we get odors from lawnmower exhaust when grass is being cut near the air intakes.  Again, we do not see any increase in particle count.

If the smell is persisting in the lab and will not go away, I suspect that your prefilters  in the make-up air unit may be contaminated with large smoke particles and ash and may therefore need to be replaced.  Our make-up air unit has two banks of prefilters in series and a hepa filter at the output.  We have gauges monitoring the pressure drop across the filters at each stage.  During our smoke event, we did not see any increase in the pressure drop across the final hepa.  Most of the large particles were captured by the first bank of Merv8 prefilters.  With this in mind, I would at least replace the first bank of pre-filters in your system (I would assume these are on a regular replacement schedule anyway).  If you have additional concerns, you can check the pressure drop across other filters in the system.

Best Regards,

Matt

Dear colleagues,

A fire broke out on Monday at one of the retail locations on our campus. The smoke from the fire got into the air intake for our cleanroom, and we can smell smoke throughout the Facility. I?d like to draw on the collective wisdom of the group to help answer the following:


1.      Recommend recovery method for the air handling system? (both upstream of the AHU) and downstream including the HEPA?s.

2.      Recommended cleaning scheme for the interior of the facility?

I appreciate everyone?s assistance.

Message-ID: <85abbbbf-e970-b7c9-9e76-10ff7feff6ca@udel.edu>

Dear Colleagues,

I have had a number of Cryo-Torr 8s over the years and they have worked 
very well after occasional rebuilds.? Now I have a Cryo-Torr 10 that has 
been giving us a lot of trouble even though we had it looked at a number 
of times. The companion 9600 compressor works well as we have put it on 
other systems.

I am looking into getting a cryo/compressor as spares that would cover 
all my cryopumping needs. It would make sense to get bigger pump but the 
recent issues with the Cryo-Torr 10 give me pause.

In your experience, do the Cryo-Torr 10s tend to be more problematic 
than the Cryo-Torr 8s?

With many thanks,

Iulian

	history
Message-ID: <CAPt+QB8y0o3FRzCtoQzXefZgHWt8FKsq-LF4YHoODDARtwQ4mA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

Our open-access facility recently inherited an AJA Orion 5 sputtering
system from the lab of a PI who had left the university.  While it has a
number of nice features that would make it a welcome addition to our
toolset (e.g., load locked, substrate heating, automated deposition
control, etc.), it also has a somewhat uncertain history, due to
inconsistent and/or missing record keeping in its previous lab.  We know
for certain that it was used for many magnesium depositions, but there are
also rumours of possible antimony and cadmium (!) depositions, albeit only
a handful of times.

I am looking for advice on how to bring this system to a state where we can
safely use and maintain it in the long term.  Given its uncertain history
and possible toxic contents, we are wary of performing a physical chamber
clean ourselves.  Are there service providers available to whom we could
send the chamber and deposition hardware (guns, dark space shields,
shutters, etc.) to get chemically or physically cleaned?  Is it feasible to
forego cleaning altogether and just bury everything in a thick Ti layer?

We have a number of elemental analysis capabilities in house, so we should
in the near future be able to have at least semi-quantitative data on what
materials are on the chamber walls, but I thought I would poll the
Labnetwork for general best practices on how to proceed.  Many thanks in
advance.

Cheers,

 ? Aaron

Hi Aaron,

One option is to send the chamber out for cleaning.  It?s probably the most expensive from a budgetary perspective, but I?d contend that it?s the least expensive option in terms of staff hours.  We?ve used Quantum Clean for this:

http://quantumclean.com/Home

You may have to get a chamber scrape and run XPS on it to obtain residue composition.

Thanks,
Noah

Hi Julia,

Sorry to hear about your Leybold Mag Drive turbo controller.  I have been dreading the day our (last) Mag drive 1000 dies.  I acquired one as backup a few years ago but the drive in use died and was not able to be repaired.  So we are down to our last one and its currently in use.

I  have spent some time looking at the control signals and the good news is that I think you can interface a different pump controller.  We were under the impression for a long time that the interface was something special and required a $100k STS retrofit (that included the new turbo and controller).  I've gotten as far as understanding the Leybold interface and making some notes on how I think it operates.  I have been planning on figuring out how to install a replacement controller that can utilize the existing STS interface signals but I haven't started that.

If you get to the place where you just have to put on a different turbo, I would be happy to share what I've generated.

Good luck!

We have an older STS DRIE with a Mag 900 CT turbo pump on our DRIE.  The controller (MAG.DRIVE 1000) for the turbo pump wont power up and has died.  So, I am trying to locate a functioning/refurbished controller.  I know these parts are getting very scarce (PTB Sales dos not have one, even though their website says otherwise) so any help would be appreciated.

Hello Julia,

We had our pump go out in 2014 and decided to replace it with a 
different manufacturer's pump and controller.? Our STS DRIE is a legacy 
tool with limited support, so we decided to start upgrades ourselves.

We went with a Edwards STPA1303CV pump and SCU800 controller with 
associated cables and vent valve.? The total price was a lot less than 
the STS OEM solution and we were able to get it in days rather than 
months.? This pump is a 1300L/s rather than the older 900L/s, but we see 
no difference in processes, the throttle valve takes care of that.? We 
did have to create a custom interface for the controller to the STS 
DRIE, but this was because we did not want to cut the cable and just use 
a plug in replacement.? We used something like this part below for the 
interface:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_Connector-2DD-2Dsub-2D25-2Dpin-2DTerminal-2DBreakout_dp_B073RG3GG6&d=DwID-g&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=EhqHy4a2rnA5a4ehzWAAfKveFS3lPv3RmQTaTocONM4&m=AcKQhgy_28FYjnScrbko2ttSkc0ww6nGU5XndfpV2io&s=KJXuNbhVKUC03eqSxTGJF-gUDcRirit1I3I4mg900vY&e=

The DRIE computer is sending a signal to start the pump and looking for 
feedback that the pump is at 100% speed.? Our engineer got all this 
installed and we have been running for the past 4 years without any pump 
issues.? We may still have the old MAG DRIVE 1000 controller on a shelf, 
I'll take a look later.? The good news is there is a path forward.

Best Regards,
Brent

Thanks Brent.  I am talking with a 3rd party vendor to do exactly what you're talking about.  Getting these parts repaired has been a major and very long ordeal.  I am so done with trying to get these non-supported and out dated parts fixed when I have external clients, faculty and students climbing the walls that want to use this tool.  Even if we were lucky enough to get them repaired like last time it is still a ticking time bomb waiting to go off again.

BTW, does anyone have schematics on the controller, too?

Cheers!

Hi Julia,

Sorry to hear about your Leybold Mag Drive turbo controller.  I have been dreading the day our (last) Mag drive 1000 dies.  I acquired one as backup a few years ago but the drive in use died and was not able to be repaired.  So we are down to our last one and its currently in use.

I  have spent some time looking at the control signals and the good news is that I think you can interface a different pump controller.  We were under the impression for a long time that the interface was something special and required a $100k STS retrofit (that included the new turbo and controller).  I've gotten as far as understanding the Leybold interface and making some notes on how I think it operates.  I have been planning on figuring out how to install a replacement controller that can utilize the existing STS interface signals but I haven't started that.

If you get to the place where you just have to put on a different turbo, I would be happy to share what I've generated.

Good luck!

Subject: [labnetwork] Looking for a MAG.DRIVE 1000 Turbo Pump Controller for a MAG 900 CT Turbo Pump

We have an older STS DRIE with a Mag 900 CT turbo pump on our DRIE.  The controller (MAG.DRIVE 1000) for the turbo pump wont power up and has died.  So, I am trying to locate a functioning/refurbished controller.  I know these parts are getting very scarce (PTB Sales dos not have one, even though their website says otherwise) so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Does anyone have a contact that supports these products?

In the event that a repair or replacement part is unobtainium, can anyone

Hello Dave,
Typically I/O issues on older equipment are easy to repair, even without a schematic.  Inputs are usually IR coupled devices (photo transistors) and outputs are usually open collector devices.  If it's not a specific input or out put, then it would be the device that drives that device.  You may also try these folks whom repair equipment that I don't or won't :  https://www.fossind.com/  


Good Luck!

Dear Fellow Labnetworkers -

SNF has just posted a new position for a Senior R&D Engineer.? The ideal 
candidate would have graduate research and fabrication experience in a 
broad range of methods and applications.? While the functional areas of 
focus are optical lithography and plasma etch, the position requires a 
jack- or jill-of-all-trades --? who might be troubleshooting equipment 
in the morning and then presenting as a guest speaker at any faculty 
member's research group meeting in the afternoon.? Strong technical and 
communication skills are required.? And while not a specific job 
requirement, a keen sense of humor is a useful survival skill in our 
business.

Interested candidates should apply online at Stanford Jobs: 
https://careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/senior-research-development-engineer-2909

Please forward to anyone you think might be interested!

Thanks,

Mary

Hello all,

Many thanks to everyone for your suggestions.  Sounds like a good procedure
would be to perform an elemental analysis on the material on the chamber
walls, followed by sending the chamber (and all parts therein) out to
Quantum Clean if the analysis reveals any toxics.

Cheers,

Nathaniel,

I would try Valex, then Cardinal.  You do realize that on such a small
quantity, the shipping charges alone will be more as much as the cost of
the tubing?

Subject: [labnetwork] UGIM 2018 in Philadelphia - Final Announcement.
Message-ID: <0D2D7646-A6B7-4928-BF8C-4D6A78DDF5D6@seas.upenn.edu>

Dear All,

Here are few final considerations for UGIM 2018 in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania:

1. The daily night-day temperature range will be 65-85F (18-30C) with relatively high humidity.  As is typical for the summer here, we expect 1-2 rainy days, so an umbrella is recommended.
2. Conference participants will receive a UGIM 2018 backpack with a luggage tag, a brochure, paper, pens, etc.
3. We are making final program tweaks, which are minimal.  Please see https://ugim.nano.upenn.edu/program/
4. Abstracts are posted on line as well, at the same link as above in #3.

Keynotes are confirmed:

1. Lloyd Whitman, from the Whitehouse, Office of Science and Technology Policy; https://www.linkedin.com/in/lloyd-whitman-32381312/
2. Prof. Jered Haun, UC Irvine; https://www.linkedin.com/in/jered-haun-59a0677/ <https://www.linkedin.com/in/jered-haun-59a0677/>
3. Donald Tennant, CNF, Cornell University; http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/cnf5_staff.taf?_function=detail&st_id=43&labUser= <http://www.cnf.cornell.edu/cnf5_staff.taf?_function=detail&st_id=43&labUser=>
4. Patrick Mahoney, CEO IEEE Global Spec; https://www.linkedin.com/in/pdmahoney/ <https://www.linkedin.com/in/pdmahoney/>
5. Robert Hamilton, Emeritus, Marvell Nano; http://citris-uc.org/nanolab-equipment-manager-robert-hamilton-receives-chancellors-outstanding-staff-award/ <http://citris-uc.org/nanolab-equipment-manager-robert-hamilton-receives-chancellors-outstanding-staff-award/>

Lastly, approximately one-third of our participants are from overseas, which is a tremendous milestone for this Symposium.

We?re very pleased with the program for this year?s conference and are hoping that you?ll join us in Philadelphia. I look forward to seeing you on June 24th, 2018!

Thank you,
Noah Clay

FYI ? Swagelok is Cardinal private labelled.

If you?re hitting long lead times from everyone right now, a little known supplier is Winters Technologies out of St. Louis. The owner was the founder of Cardinal UHP, that also makes tubing. They may have the best lead time if the others are out there a ways. The Chinese Fabs are taking so much material that lead times are quite crazy now.

All the best,

Tom

Late for the party here folks but here?s my $0.02;
TEK Stainless Piping Products have been a very good tubing supplier over the decades. They have a lot of locations such as MA, Tenn, Connecticut, and the Carolinas. Lots of cleanliness spec options and I don?t recall paying a penalty for small orders.

Hi all,

Does anyone have a recommended vendor for electropolished stainless steel tubing for ultra high purity gas applications?  We need around 100ft of 3/8" tubing, but are running into 300ft minimum order quantities from our usual suppliers.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nathanael

Message-ID: <B9E86A2D-FF61-4071-8885-28D8E8A70B40@cnsi.ucla.edu>

Hi All,

We are having issues with the Automatic Pressure Control unit (model T3PIA-9603-0) in our ULVAC 550 etcher. The component itself is manufactured by MKS, and they have serviced it in the past. This is no longer the case. We are looking to identify an alternative vendor for the APC unit or any ideas on a 3rd party that might be capable of repairing it. Working directly with ULVAC is an option we are pursuing, but it is cumbersome, expensive and slow. Any thoughts or perspectives would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Adam

Hi everyone.
We are currently looking into possibly purchasing a new manual or semiautomatic wedge bonder for our facility.

If anyone would like to email me privately or chat offline about any recommended/or perhaps not recommended models that would be appreciated.

Dear Colleagues,

Recently several of the variable frequency drives and controls used to
drive the air handlers in the LSU cleanroom were damaged by a major
water leak in the adjoining synchrotron facility.  Luckily, LSU is
self-insured and willing to help us out to some degree on the repairs.
We have already replaced all the damaged filters and are now turning
to fix the VFDs and controls.

We had 14 VFDs which were all Toshiba Tosvert 130-H1 and H2 models (I
believe these are from the 90s). As for the controls, the manufacturer
is no longer in business nor does it appear to be supported by other
3rd parties, so we need to start over there. About 3 out of the 14
VFDs still work, but they are very old.

I initially contacted the company that installed the cleanroom 20
years ago. They are still in business but do not reply to any of my
messages. So that is a no go.

Per LSU risk management guidelines I need to put together an RFQ to
replace the entire system (e.g. VFDs and controller) and send it out
for bid to at least 5 companies. The cleanroom here is 2000 sqft and
in the past was Class 100 rated.

I welcome your advice on all aspects of this challenging project. To
start, I would greatly appreciate suggestions on companies to contact
for the bidding process. Thank you!

Regards,
Kevin

This seems like something your facilities dept. at LSU should spearheading?
When I was running a university fab all the control systems  and subsequent drives and FFU were "owned" by facilities.
I was not allowed to pursue contractors independent of what facilities allowed or pointed me to
