You'll want a chiller that is designed to run that fluid though, and furthermore I would strongly recommend against putting it in any chiller that previously had water in it (they do not mix). That said, I think that's a pretty common fluid at least for electrostatic chucks, and works well down to -20C. -Kevin On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 12:10 PM Bruce Tolleson wrote: > Dear Labnetwork, > > Our STS ASE uses an Affinity RWA-12T-CE55CBD4 chiller with an external > D.I. cartridge to keep the conductivity low.

You should be able to set those up on a private network that is not routeable from the outside (something like a 10.0.0.0/16 network).? This should be configurable on the switch.? Then, as long as your lab management software (such as coral, nemo, etc.) is also on that network, you should be good.? This should address security concerns since anybody else on the university network will not be able to access those boxes.

You really need to talk to your institution IT people about that. Write down all the communications required for those hardware boxes, hopefully they can figure it out for you.

For example, you are given only one static IP address 111.112.113.114, and you have five interlocks in a single lab to be configured. You buy a router with its outfacing IP set with the give static IP, internal IP set to 192.168.0.254, and then configure port mapping on the router to have 111.112.113.114:8001 mapped to 192.168.0.101, 111.112.113.114:8002 mapped to 192.168.0.102, and so on. Now you can set the IP addresses of the interlocks as 192.168.0.101, 192.168.0.102, etc. In FOM relay IP address you just enter 111.112.113.114:8001 and the traffic will be redirected to 192.168.0.101.

Hi Julia, I think everyone else has answered this but in general, the most straight forward approach is to assign the interlocks IP addresses that are part of a private network and then have a "proxy device" that handles processing the interlock communications between the LMS software (that I assume is running in a "cloud" somewhere) and the interlocks themselves. It would reside on both the public and private network. This way the interlocks are not visible outside their private network that you control and you don't have to go through getting an official static IP address from your institution for them. How exactly to implement this will depend on the specifics of your institution's current networking setup and your LMS. Hopefully, your computer/networking folks can assist with exploring an option along these lines. cheers, --tom From jtamelier at eng.ucsd.edu Thu Apr 8 11:24:24 2021 From: jtamelier at eng.ucsd.edu (John Tamelier) Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2021 08:24:24 -0700 Subject: [labnetwork] Static IP Addresses needed for hardware interlocks In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Julia, I want to piggyback on what some of the others have said. UCSD uses FOM and we have blocked many of our relay controls from the outside internet by placing them on special subnets/VLANs. Inside each subnet/VLAN, we can set up rules about what the devices can see outside of the subnet/VLAN. I think this is very similar to what Michael and Ryan said above. It should be possible within FOM, but getting IT to work with you is another story. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I had a similar problem with Cryo etch in the Oxford tool. I didn't understand why this is happening, but I was able to make some repeatable samples. My Cryo etch process was on dies and not on the full wafer. I bond the die to the carrier wafer. Here are my observations: 1. Pre-conditioning of the chamber with the cryo process helped a lot. a. After the condition run, if I see the black silicon, chamber cleaning is required. b. Ar + Oxygen clean and then oxygen clean helped. c. Followed by repeating the conditioning. 2. Etching fewer dies worked better than multiple dies on the wafer. 3. After some successful runs, I generally observe black silicon starting on one of the corners of the carrier wafer. Once I see the black silicon, it's better to discard the carrier wafer and use a fresh one. Using the same wafer resulted in full black silicon affecting the die and chamber needing cleaning and condition again. 4. Also, the results were bad if the temperature was unstable. To the best of my knowledge, chamber conditioning is the key. Once your issue is fixed, I request you to share the knowledge and experience.

Widely, uniformly distributed, or in spots/patches? What kind of system is this? This is a system to which students/users have access? In our systems, the most popular material to gunk up load-locks with is silicone heat-sink paste (sticking wafer coupons to carrier wafers), which falls neatly into the white, greasy, soft category. The "right" kind of paste has pretty low vapor pressure, but perhaps a users found some other stuff... If Waterloo has an SEM imaging lab, I'd think the quickest route would be to put this stuff under an EDX analyzer (assuming the SEM folks don't mind some sticky stuff in their chamber). XRF is good for analyzing stuff that you don't want to put into a vacuum. Most uni's that have nanofab core centers will have analytical gear like this. For outside companies, Evans Analytical (EAG now) does this kind of work, but it tends to be kind of expensive.

I am almost certain the contamination is a type of PFPE (fluorinated) grease as it didn't dissolve in 4 types of solvents (hexane, IPA, acetone and toluene) but I have sent a sample to EAG for further analysis. Solvents for this type of grease are fluorinated fluids like: Galden or Fluorinert or supercritical fluids. My question is how should I proceed with cleaning, do you have a method to suggest? is cleaning a UHV chamber something that is possible to implement in the house? Also, what do you think of using a dry-surface cleaning using CO2 snow? As always I appreciate your input.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Bill, We had a similar story with our PlasmaLab 100, some years ago. The system came originally equipped with an Adixen Pump with roots blower, I think similar to the Leybold pump you mentioned. The pump worked fine, but every four years we had to send it to be refurbished in France, an expensive process (money and also time). I decided to exchange the Adixen pump for an equivalent Edwards, since we have local service at affordable prices here in Israel. Our PlasmaLab system sends START/STOP and STAND-BY commands to the pump. Those are simple dry-contacts commands, but the technician from Edwards didn?t succeeded to make the connection. Then I came into the scene and with patience I made it work. Since we have Edwards service available here near us, we programed the pump to ?run to fail? and when the time comes we will send it for complete refurbishing, what will take one week to be done. I think it is a good arrangement. Much less expensive than the original situation and also faster.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Bill, We have not had that particular pump model to refubish, so I don't know a vendor that would rebuild the Leybold 50P for sure. You could try Advaco, Provac, or PTB Sales. Replacement options depend on if you need the pump signals integrated with the Oxford software. Is you pump currently controlled through the Oxford software? It's fairly common to see customers run the Edwards QDP80/QMB250 pump stack or iQDP/QMB250. Due to their high current draw, Edwards pumps must be powered externally (not using the internal contactor). You can run the pumps this way, but there are no comms between the pump and tool to stop gas flows if the pump stops (only the 600T pressure switch). Edwards does make a tool interface module (TIM) that can be used to integrate the Edwards pump comms with the Oxford, but wiring that would likely require Oxford's or Edwards' assistance. We can connect on Monday if you would like to discuss this further. You can reach me on my cell at (612) 227-5029.

You could develop ZEP in IPA/water or cold xylene for very high resolution. But then the sensitivity is closer to that of PMMA. We use CSAR instead of ZEP. It's the same polymer but a lot less expensive. Shelf life is very long - similar to PMMA.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hey, Long - Many of us in the EBL community have not had issues with ZEP expiring. If the bottle cap is not secured properly, your spin curves may simply be off over time. This can be remedied by adding more solvent (anisole). Alternatively, there is CSAR 62 by AllResist ; they will actually have a booth at the EIPBN virtual exhibition hall from June 1-4, 2021 (www.eipbn.org) The performance is about the same as ZEP in terms of dose and etch-selectivity, and I believe is cheaper.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Long, The main problem with ZEP, as I see it, is it's cost. Other than that, it's very reliable, has better contrast than PMMA for the same conditions and produces very good results, not to mention that the selectivity to plasma etch is considerably better than PMMA. As for the dose to clear, in my experience working at 10 kV and 30 kV, ZEP requires about 1/3 of the PMMA dose to clear. Regarding shelf life, I've recently tested a batch that expired back in 2015. Patterning wise, it worked just as well as a batch that we bought at the beginning of this year. The choice between PMMA and ZEP, at least to me, boils down to application requirements and budget. If your application requires very smooth edges, or etching a little deeper without losing much resolution and you can afford a few $1000 for 100 mL of resist, I'd work with ZEP and perhaps consider using cold development to increase contrast. Otherwise, PMMA is a very good resist in general, and you can still try cold development to improve contrast and obtain very good results.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Long, It does not last forever, though it DOES last after the expiration date on the label. I've heard of people decanting it on arrival and into smaller portions and freezing those, but I've never done that myself. I think the main benefit to ZEP when compared to PMMA is its etch resistance to certain gases. The dose is sufficiently lower that if you need to write large areas it could be worth it. You can also certainly obtain smoother features than with PMMA too, but for nearly all applications I'm not sure it's worth the price tag just for that.
