They can be a bit pricey, although, there are plenty of used ones out there for less money. We have also used air isolation mounts in some cases. In this case, you simply replace the leveling feet from a table with the air isolator (here?s one example: https://www.newport.com/f/compact-air-mount-without-self-leveling). You may want some an additional dampening mechanism or isolators between the instrument and the table (pads or breadboard for instance), but that being said, we were able to run a KLA P-2 profilometer on a table having these air isolators only without much of an issue.

I'm sure whatever virus protection you are using has a manual drive update option so the computer does not have to be online.? We went through the facility owned USB drive option and users did exactly as you described. Another solution is to have a university secured computer as an interface between the instrument and the university's network.? This takes up a lot more space and some money, but it is effective for file transfer.?

We have a similar suite of tools running older Windows versions in our lab. Our IT people have set up a Virtual LAN to let us network all of our tool PCs (including Windows XP and 7). The Virtual LAN is barred from sending or receiving traffic outside of campus so we have greatly reduced worries about someone attacking vulnerable and un-patchable computer hardware. To transfer into and out of the cleanroom VLAN we have a locally hosted instance of OwnCloud (https://owncloud.org ). This sits on a server with one network card facing into the cleanroom network, and one network card facing out to the general campus network. On all of the cleanroom computers we have installed a browser with the OwnCloud URL bookmarked, so a user will just login to their account through the Owncloud web interface and then uploading files is just a matter of ?drag and drop?. The files can be retrieved and downloaded on the user?s desktop computer using the same method (though the URL is different from the ?in-cleanroom? URL). I would be happy to answer any questions you have about our solution.

Lab users dump their data, images, etc on the file server, and then later reach over to retrieve their stuff. In a few cases we have an even simpler setup: wire up a new Windows box next to the old one, then use the new box as the Z: drive for the old WinXP instrument. The user can then turn to the new box to transfer files to network storage. That means the new box must have two ports. We've been using little Intex Nuc boxes, since they are cheap and come with one wireless and one wired port. We use the wired ethernet for the local connection, and the wireless for connection to the campus network. It's difficult to shut off the USB ports, since they are used for the keyboards and mice. We put stickers over the unused USB ports, but sometimes people use them anyway. Short of gluing the connectors I don't have any good ideas about how to ban USB sticks. -------------------------------- Michael Rooks Yale Institute of Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering nano.yale.edu On 09/10/2018 01:28 PM, Dennis Culver wrote: > Hello Kevin, > I run into this issue with systems running WIN 3.1 & Win 98.

Set network drive permissions on the Windows 10 PC to read only and notify the users that they should always back up their data (we put labels on all the computers indicating that the data stored there could be deleted at any time) and delete any data they don?t want others to see. Recommend or require that the users upload their data directly to their own online storage to minimize USB usage. Since the network portal PC is only for internet access a relatively cheap one will work fine and since no data or software lives there it is relatively easy to deal with if it goes down. It can also serve as a convenient place for users to access your lab management system to log in and out for equipment usage. I had this set up in operation at Nano3, UC San Diego for several years and it worked great. It may not be perfect but hopefully this helps.

User owned external drives are outright banned from being connected to any system in the facility. Our lab runs on an internal network that only allow communication within that network, and no access to the internet as a whole. The exceptions being dedicated IPSEC tunnels that connect to servers for tool access control, security cameras, and, among those, data storage. Via these tunnels, every tool has access to two network share drives, and each drive maintains separate directories for every user registered to our facility. One drive allows a limited quota of disk space where files may be stored long-term, and the other drive allows unlimited storage but files older than 2 weeks are automatically purged. When a user enables a tool via out extremely customized implementation of CORAL, scripts automatically make the correct directory for that user available to the drive mounts on the systems in question. Users may then store anything they generate to these drives. Upon disable, the directories are made inaccessible to protect that user?s data. Users may then retrieve their files via a webpage on our custom CORAL frontend, or while anywhere on campus they may mount their directories as a drive share on their personal systems. So similar to other implementations, we have a server-in-the-middle approach that allows us to isolate the lab from outside threats while still allowing our users store their data in a protected but accessible space, but everything is internal rather than using external services. We?ve implemented storage to these drives in other creative ways for systems that are less capable or intentionally brain-damaged in some way, including having our old Alphastep 100 be able to store traces as an image to these drives when it would normally only be able to print to a physical, attached printer. All of this is thanks to a very talented and patient lead developer we are very thankful to have. So I realize this very custom approach may not be doable by everyone, but it certainly has worked well for us. N.

The cleanroom at the University of Texas at Dallas has solved that problem by purchasing a new computer with a large capacity hard drive and attaching it to a network associated with the old computers. The usage protocol allows the tool computer a two way link to read and write files. So the user of the tool stores data to this hard drive and then links a desk top etc. computer to the large storage computer and downloads the data. However the desktop computer cannot upload anything to the storage disk. This allows access to the data but prevents viruses from infecting the cleanroom tools.

In our case it's a Debian Linux server running the firewall etc. So this takes some active mangement, but has given us a lot of granular control over how our network operates and how users can get their files. It allows us to have some computers with full internet access, while tool computers only have internal network access, and all computers can access our Process Wiki regardless (for tool instructions etc.) & the Equipment Signup site. We can also allow Vendors to remote-access as needed, for a short amount of time. Our lab computers, including old Win3.1, WinXP etc. run an hourly script that syncs ("rsync") new files to the Linux server. Users can then SFTP into the Linux server and get their files. It has some scripts that set up SFTP access for each group, restricted to their own folders on each tool only. This does require someone to have some Linux experience, and we still employ a consultant for very difficult cases. In the lab, we disable the Windows Driver for the "USB Mass Storage" to prevent users from using the USB ports. Even for computers that don't have restricted user accounts, this still prevents users from using the USB drives. -- Demis ---------------------------------------- demis at ucsb.edu * Process Scientist Manager* UCSB Nanofabrication Facility ---------------------------------------- On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 3:45 AM Robbins, Roger wrote: > RE: ?Getting Files off older computers? > > > > The cleanroom at the University of Texas at Dallas has solved that problem > by purchasing a new computer with a large capacity hard drive and attaching > it to a network associated with the old computers.

Plus, our entrance is via a cafe. Our first step, and to avoid over-taxing our shoe cleaner, is to clean the bulk of the matter off with a mud cleaning brush (see attached). The stiff bristles do remove the larger clumps. After this step, the user enters the lobby and uses the auto shoe cleaner (with vacuum and HEPA). [image1.jpeg] https://www.scrusher.com/products/deluxe-scrusher-with-personalized-base The key is make sure people actually check their boots and shoes. Some stuff may stick all the way through the gown donning process. When users doff their pre-gowning materials and remove their booties while exiting during the dirtiest months, and do so in the gowning room/area, the clumps that remained stuck to the shoes can now come off within the pre-gown room (or gown room if combined). We currently have all users completely leave the clean room, remove the CR garments and hang them, and exit the pre-gown room entirely before taking off any of their hair covers, gloves, or shoe covers. This has kept our pre-gown room and gown room much cleaner, and therefore keeps the Cleanroom cleaner.

It's had a long run and seen many great wafers, but we don't have enough volume to justify 1) the expense of keeping POCL on hand, 2) the resources used (N2 flow in idle), and 3) upkeep on the tube, which includes cleaning up the drips of phosphoric acid and clumps of sticky crud that accumulate. It creates quite a mess and is a hazard to the tubes below. Unless you see high volume in your future, my advice would be to find a friend who already does it well.

The advantage is that they don't have the toxicity issues you'll have to deal with using POCl3 (not to say that they aren't hazardous), but they do take some development and also have their pros and cons. If you're not familiar with this material, they are a phosphorous doped spin-on glass (they have a boron doped version as well). You can spin coat the sample, do an initial cure on a hotplate, and then do a high temp anneal in a tube furnance to drive in the dopant (typically 900-1200C depending on the dopant). After doping, they can be removed with HF. Best Regards, Matt -- Matthew T.

In the old days, we actually used 100% phosphine. Newer days, POCl3. For high volume, POCl3 was a decent choice, but has definite safety issues. I prefer the idea of spin-on dopants, and I will always keep them as a standby. They come in multiple concentrations. However, they can get pricey and don't have the best shelf life. With low usage rates (as in my case), you may discard a fair amount of material. There are some minor safety concerns due to the solvents and particulates in the mixtures. Solid source is a reasonable option. They basically have no safety issues. There are two primary suppliers: St. Gobain (formerly Carborundum) and Techneglas. When we opened this facility, we had decided not to support phosphorous or boron doping internally. We didn't have the furnaces to support the single-digit number of runs per year processed in the old facility. We wanted to outsource it. I had 2 atmospheric oxidation furnaces - one for undoped substrates and another for doped (PSG, doped poly, outsourced material, etc.). Well, almost immediately we were pushed into solid source phosphorous doping and had to add that to our doped furnace. Then, a few months later - against my strong objections - I was required to add boron solid source doping TO THE SAME FURNACE!! Now, solid source wafers should really remain in the furnace when not being used. They like to absorb moisture and the idle conditions of the furnace will keep them dehydrated. Well, since I don't have a dedicated furnace, the sources are often stored in ambient. It's a lousy way to treat the sources. I do, however, require a dehydration bake in the furnace each time the sources are returned to use. It's not great, but it is the best I can do under the circumstances and meets our basic needs. 35 years ago, the Carborundum boron sources couldn't be treated that way at all. The techneglas sources seem to survive reasonably well - they use a different base material and seem to be more robust. I don't have any experience with today's St. Gobain products - they may be ok. tonyO Tony Olsen Nanofab Cleanroom Supervisor/Process Engineer University of Utah 36 S Wasatch Dr, Suite 2500 Salt Lake City,?

The process is very mature, reliable, very accurate controllable and safe. It requires at least 2 furnaces: one for source storage and activation and one for prediffusion and drive-in after glass removal. Please note they are dedicated furnaces for this application only. This in-house doping fits very well with the timing constrains of a teaching class. Second, as part of a discussion about doping in an university clean room operation, I think that in general the best option is to outsource the wafers for Ion Implantation. It is the most accurate and precision doping method, with a very large range of doping level values, can use photoresist as a mask, and might require one single furnace for annealing and drive-in for all Boron, Phosphor, Arsenic and Stibium if implanted through a thin oxide cap which blocks the exdiffusion. One dedicated tube. It is the most cost effective and versatile method too, in this setup. The Ion Implantation is the best doping method that fits with the available process TCAD simulation software. More: exposing the students to this Ion Implantation process package will increase their chances to get a job in nowadays semiconductor industry. Solid Source Doping of Boron and Phosphor requires separate dedicated furnaces for source storage and activation, for drive in and one for Boron glass deglazing a total of 5 tubes. POCl3 tube gets very dirty and that spreads around the loading area, requires a lot of maintenance and are safety issues too. Also if it used for drive-in steps too to save a tube, then it limits the low doping values capability. The Spin On Doping depends on the manufacturer brand, its large variability in handling by different users during coat, solvent removal and drive-in. It is wafer by wafer operation; the solution shelf life is limited and becomes expensive. The drive-in furnace is metal free but could get contaminated with Carbon on long term; so a dedicated furnace. Doping from doped LPCVD/PECVD Polysilicon or PSG oxides are other option for a limited doping level too. Sputtering or Ebeam source deposition require a dedicated expensive system for Silicon operation. All the above mentioned techniques but Ion Implantation require an extra cleaning for the source removal before/after the drive-in step, and involve a large number of dedicated furnaces.

The best we can get is about 3% for a 3" wafer. We have removed the dispenser plastic piece and have sealed the hole with tape at the bottom and the uniformity has dropped to 0.6% but it is not repeatable as the tape is not stiff enough and has some wrinkles. We suspect that the dispenser plastic piece (and the N2 diffusers?) creates air turbulence inside the spinner bowl and we plan to make a flat lid with no hole at the center. We would to know if other owners of this spin coater have experienced similar issues. Any feedback will be appreciated.
