Nothing kills a cleanroom operation faster than power problems. I am not sure what can be done about it up front. Installing a monitoring instrument on the power will help you quantify and describe your power issue. I have been using an instrument called the PQube from Power Standards Lab. https://www.powerstandards.com/. It monitors, records data. If you get data from that maybe some corrections can be made with the transformers serving your facility or other things. I don't seem to have problems as serious as yours but it's nice to know when a sag trips off several systems instead of just guessing at it.

It would not just be the computer that needed upgrading but also parts of the hardware also. We have a cloned HDD of the computer, but that would only be good in case the HDD failed and we wanted to put it back into the same computer. What I want to do is build a secondary computer with a cloned HDD, as our win98 computer is showing signs of failing - random crashing, not properly booting, forgetting drives (drives that are not used but errors are appearing). In my experience you can not just put a HDD into a new computer as it will have to load in drivers for the motherboard and other hardware changes (unless you have the same hardware - which I will likely not). The other concern is if I move the EV620 boards from one computer to another if they will be recognized or if they also have a license key - last thing I need is the system down as the boards will not be recognized by either computer. Has anyone done this with their systems that are running older operating systems.

We tried to do motherboard local servicing , and after a long duration we got it done. 3. EVG said they can re install the software provided we get the licensed version of Win 2000.

But we had trouble with the LAN connection. 5. We had purchased both EVG 620 and EVG Bonder together . The CPU configuration matched and Bonder did not require the LAN. We have heavy use of EVG 620 , hence connected the Bonder CPU to EVG with repaired motherboard . It all worked well . 6. EVG CPU we connected to the Bonder later . 7. As you mentioned the option of upgrade was not very feasible for us. We could, after long wait, get the tool up. EVG supported us by providing registration code multiple times, till we got the tool working.

Indeed, I believe that most university cleanrooms where full bunnysuit protocols are observed will do the same. At SNF, we have three different kinds of dress protocols.? The main cleanroom is the full, standard cleanroom suit, where researchers don full chemical aprons, gloves, and face shields over safety glasses when working with chemicals at wet stations. We have several rooms where the cleanliness standard is a dust-free lab coat (plus bouffant, booties, and cleanroom gloves).? Like the cleanroom suits, the dust-free coat is not designed for chemical protection - researchers don acid gear when working with chemicals at the wet stations.? We have one room with standard fume hoods - it is keycard access only to researchers who undergo additional training.? This is not a cleanroom and in addition to safety glasses, researchers wear the standard 100% cotton lab coats which offers better protection than polymer-based dress - basically, the same protocols as you would use in a standard research chemistry lab. While it is more inconvenient to have to don chemical protection over clean dress, I think it is actually better for lab practices.? First, it helps isolate chemical residues because small splashes and spray will get on gloves and sleeves and spread throughout the lab, wherever the researchers go.? (I've worked in industry labs where corroded computer keyboards and landline phones near wet stations were the norm.)? Second, by donning acid gear, people have to consciously recognize they are working with hazardous materials - and that mental preparedness is important, at least with students, who often take their well-being for granted. The alternative is cleanroom grade Nomex, which at nearly $1K/suit, is cost prohibitive for university cleanrooms and, I suspect, uncomfortably hot to wear.... Mary __ Mary X.

I know of no cleanroom clothing or lab coats that are appropriate for chemical protection. In most cases, cleanroom clothing is seldom considered as PPE (exception: flame resistant fabric). It is not to protect people, rather protect the cleanroom from people. We use standard cleanroom bunnysuits, a polyester blend with 1-2% carbon, which provides some minor ESD protection. The material is also used for cleanroom frocks/lab coats. For those parts of our lab that are not in the cleanroom, our EHS department suggests flame resistant lab coats, but I haven't done so, yet. For chemical protection, we use Tychem-SL full-sleeve aprons (now branded as Tychem 4000). They are polypropylene coated Tyvek. They are re-usable, but disposable. I insist on full-sleeve aprons. Surprisingly, there aren't many options available. These actually offer better protection than vinyl and are lighter and much more tolerable when wearing for extended periods of time. The wrist elastic isn't really great for the cleanroom, but I accept it anyway. I also have Tyvek bunnysuits on hand as a backup - especially for contractors and personnel involved with tasks that are likely to damage garments. And, I have some Tyvek lab coats, used occasionally for large tour groups.

While we received our first supply from BOC in Britain in 2015, we were struggling to get a refill in 2017. At that time Linde had issued a press release that they had signed an agreement to import XeF2 from the manufacturer Pelchem and supply end users, but that seems to apply only for the US. Linde Germany could not help us. We tried a couple of other chemical companies dealing with XeF2 we found in the web, but nobody was really able to deliver the purity we wanted in the container fitted to the machine. In the end we were served well by the XeF2 manufacturer in South Africa. As it looks like you can purchase there directly. The only problem we had is getting the container there and back through customs without paying duties on the container. At Pelchem we dealt with Nerona Naidoo, email Nerona.Naidoo at pelchem.necsa.co.za. Pelchem details are attached as jpg. Turnaround time was about 4 to 6 weeks while the custom procedures took most of the time.

We retrofitted a ceiling full of T-12 fluorescent to LED, and installed new "yellow" sleeves (Tarp50) on them for the areas that we wanted to remain photolithography compliant. We also retrofitted about a dozen fixtures where we had T-5 fluorescent tubes with LED bulbs. There were over a 1000 bulbs installed on this project, and in the year that they've been installed, I've had to change out three bulbs. That's not bad considering they're on 24/7/365. When we had fluorescents, we were changing about 50 bulbs every six months. We tried some of the 57840 lamps, and found them to be acceptable, but when we looked at the install costs, it was considerably cheaper to use the "white" bulb with the yellow sleeve, and this provided more long term flexibility if we wanted to "change" other areas to yellow at a later date. As part of this retro fit, we also modified some of our existing lighting fixtures (about a 100 of them) to go from a 2-bulb design, to a 4-bulb design.

I have run the system with O3 pulses and the Ar purge through the Ferrocene line, but with the precursor valve closed, and we do not see F. We have a manual SS-42GVCR4 valve on the precursor and that has modified PTFE in the valve which might be the problem as everything else is VCR fittings. The Ferrocene is at 100 degC so I would not expect the PTFE to break down. We do have other o-rings on the system - seal for the lid, load lock, pump fittings; but only with the Ferrocene pulsing have we see F. Do others see F in their films - does not have to be FeO.

Typically, there is a plasma potential of around 15V between the plasma and a grounded wall. Ion bombardment of the wall will result is some sputtering of the surface of the wall. Fe and Ni from SS can be a problem for Si devices. There are several ways to get around sputtering from an SS chamber wall. These include using Al shields on the wall, using a magnetic electron reflector (alternating N/S magnets around the outside of the wall) or using a glass cylinder between the wall and the wafer.

Repeated requests to Linde for information have yielded no useful response. A lot of consolidation and company acquisition has been going on among gas vendors lately and I'm wondering if that may be the cause. If anyone has viable contact information for these cabinets or knows of a vendor willing to step in, please let me know. Specifically the sensor in the cabinet needs to be for HBr and the model number on the installed one is listed as being for HF in the Linde cabinet manual. It may be that's the correct sensor but I've been unable to confirm that. Regards, -- John Nicholson Nanofabrication Laboratory Manager Silvio O. Conte Center for Polymer Research, Rm.

Recommendations welcome, you can send directly to me if we aren't allowed to recommend specific companies to price.798 at osu.edu. We have stayed away from a general use plating capability due to the low volumes that we'd have. Additionally, we are not set up to deal with the cyanide based solutions in a single use setup, so we've disallowed that here. Other options have been allowed, but I'm looking for a solution (pardon the pun, unintended) for my users who need Au or other plating. We have plated Ag with not much success in the past.

We do a fair amount of Cu acid plating for RDL and TSV features for coupons, 100, 150, and 200 mm wafers. We have some experience with that system in the deposition of Ni and SnAg as well. We also have a single-shot beaker setup for chemistries that can be operated at room temperature (e.g. Cu, SnAg, In, etc.). Hope that helps - please let us know if you might need to know more!
