For our in-house cutting on our DAD321, we?ve found different blades are needed for glass vs. Quartz/sapphire. We usually source our blades directly from Disco rather than thermocarbon (though we?ve used them in the past). Our current recommendations for the most common materials are the following: Silicon: ZH05 series Glass/Quartz: R07 series Sapphire: VT07 series We?ve also found switching to a multipass cutting strategy can help with harder/thicker materials. We also dice on Blue Tape for the vast majority of this work. My personal experience with bending/breaking has been that the blade is likely not rigorous enough to stand up to the hardness of the material being cut, so a slight deflection seems to become unrecoverable and eventually the blade deviates enough to break. I would, again however, strongly suggest getting in touch with Disco to discuss your particularly challenges and needs as, again, we?ve had very good response from them. I?m afraid I don?t have much in the way of direct recommendations, however, if you need to continue using thermocarbon blades. Good Luck. N.

Contact thermocarbon or disco for recommendations. The deeper the cut the thicker the blade. There are formulas to guide you. You should also replace your hubs frequently. If there is any ding or flaw on the hub it can cause breakage. The hub and blade should be wiped with non shedding wipes and ipa to remove any debris prior to mounting the blade in the hub. Finally check water flow. You need the correct flow and and it should hit the blade correctly Again blade vendor can provide guidance. Aluminum and quartz cut very differently. The former and some alumina containing glasses are very hard and difficult to cut. So a multi pass strategy is often recommended. But quartz in my experience can be cut more easily with less blade ware. You should check the blade ware as you cut and this will inform how you handle that Your tool let?s you adjust the cut height for blade ware as it cuts. But my guess is blade support is insufficient based on what you wrote. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 10, 2021, at 7:50 AM, Miller, Suzanne wrote: ? Are you cutting in slices?

However, our Fire Marshall has prohibited them - because if there's an ignition source in the trash can, the ventilation system will just serve to fan the flames. So, in our labs, we have dedicated waste cans for solid waste contaminated with standard solvents, most of them metal with a step lid.? These are lined with hazardous waste bags that are labeled with a list of the standard solvents.? We have ziplock bags at each of the stations where solvents are used.? Students are trained to double-bag their waste under the hood and place in the solvent waste can, as they clean up their workstation.? When the cans get full, a staffer will collect the hazardous waste bag for disposal.? If students generate solvent waste that is non-standard, they double-bag in a hazardous waste bag, fill out a label listing the chemicals, and place the bag in the collection area.? This means we go through a heck of a lot of plastic, but we're compliant with local policies. Mary -- Mary X. Tang, Ph.D. Managing Director Stanford Nanofabrication Facility Paul G.

What may have been the most productive research tool in the world for amorphous silicon (a-Si) and related research for the past 25 years is available for FREE for a non-profit institution. The machine is a 4-chamber PECVD for depositing stacks for solar cells or for a-Si TFT's. The catch is you have to remove it from a lab in Princeton University (New Jersey, USA) by mid October. An overview is below, including links to many pictures. It is in good working condition. If interested, email me (Jim Sturm, sturm at princeton.edu, 609 258 5610) immediately and also Sigurd Wagner (wagner at princeton.edu). Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested. Sincerely, Prof. Jim Sturm, Princeton University I hope the links work....

It sits in a platter (~12" x 12") that is transferred, with a hole in the bottom for deposition. * 13.5 MHz plasma, diode-configuration * Originally configured for solar cell research, with chambers for (i) a-Si(Ge), (ii) n+ a-Si(Ge), (iii) p+-Si(Ge) * Used for past 20 years primarily for a-Si thin film transistor on glass and flexible plastic. The p+ Si(Ge) chamber was converted to SiNx deposition for a gate dielectric. * Built late 1990s by Innovative Systems Engineering for the lab of Sigurd Wagner, a pioneer in fundamentals of a-SiGe for solar cells and then flexible TFT for large-area and flexible electronics. 1000's of samples and 100's of papers and dozens of PhD's came from this machine. Search on papers for "Sigurd Wagner" at Princeton from ~1995 to ~2017 * Gas flow and power control are automated, sample transfer from chamber to chamber is manual * 2 roots blower stacks for process exhaust plus 3 separate roughing pumps * Machine is functional but has not run in ~5 years. Process gases are disconnected and machine has been purged out. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our goal is to create a regional platform for the exchange of laboratory experiences and best practices and to improve coordination and collaboration in the northwest. After consulting with staff in the region, we put together a workshop featuring distinguished speakers and compelling discussions based directly on topics that staff polled as highly interesting. If your facility is located in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta and British Columbia, please follow the link below to view our website and register for our first Northwest Nano Lab Alliance (NWNLA) meeting, held virtually on November 8th and 9th from 8:45 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time. As it is vitual, you are welcome to only come for the talks and discussions that will be valuable for you, and there is no cost to register or join. https://www.nano.uw.edu/nni/northwest-nanotechnology-laboratory-alliance/2021-nwnla-workshop/ Best regards, Andy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have an ancient and obsolete Disco 2H/6 that everybody loves to use. Totally manual, easy to set up, easy to swap between resin and hub blades. Nearly impossible to find parts for.

Don?t get me wrong, it?s a wonderful machine if you have large samples that are all identical. It was a joy to use when we had to trim several hundred solar cells for the solar racing team. But when every user has a different set-up, or heaven forbid it?s a small sample, (getting the sample rotation aligned become more challenging as the samples become smaller) nobody wants deal with the complexities of the 641. Since most of our ?business? involves small samples ? 1? squares, quarters of 2? and 3? wafers, salvaging pieces of broken wafers, etc., we are concerned about ease of programming and aligning small samples.

What may have been the most productive research tool in the world for amorphous silicon (a-Si) and related research for the past 25 years is available for FREE for a non-profit institution. The machine is a 4-chamber PECVD for depositing stacks for solar cells or for a-Si TFT's. The catch is you have to remove it from a lab in Princeton University (New Jersey, USA) by mid October. An overview is below, including links to many pictures. It is in good working condition.

We have 150 mm Si wafers with 6 microns Copper and 2 microns Indium on patterned areas on both wafers to be bonded. The alignment marks are compatible with the AML AWB-08 Wafer Bonder (116 mm apart from each other). We have not performed this process before and it is new to our company. We have the process parameters to start with. Could you please make recommendations? Marvell lab at UC Berkeley is excluded from this request, which we have already discussed with them. Best regards, Adam. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
