We are considering other options for our Nitrogen gas source including a Nitrogen generator due to the recent cost increase of LN2. We are currently using a 2-tank system which supplies both the liquid and gaseous nitrogen to our facility. We are averaging 80 to 90 SCFM of utility nitrogen and 6 -7 SCFM of High Purity Nitrogen. We would continue to maintain our liquid nitrogen supply. Please provide your positive and negative experiences with Nitrogen generators as well as the manufacturer of the unit.

He has supported our older Nikons along with helping purchase new scopes from various vendors. Also, depending on what has failed you might be able to 3-D print parts. We had to do that for our Nikon IC-66 scopes and maybe for an old Leitz Ergolux for which I have a soft spot and refuse to give up on! The fine focus gears take a beating and get pushed past their limits sometimes. I used to have another contact, someone in New Jersey that supported these parts in the past. It wasn?t cheap, which is why we made our own, but it might be an off the shelf solution. I?ll try to find that info. It is about a decade old, so not sure they are still in business. Let me know if you don?t find a solution and I?ll try to dig out their contact info.

Another option, which is more expensive, would be to introduce an air flow to the extract to keep the vapours moving through the ductwork to your scrubber. Not a quick fix though. Maybe as simple as adding a duct opening and allowing the extract to pull additional air into the duct, keep the airflow it slightly turbulent but not too much or it will get noisy.

It should not need any type of sealant or tape. Hot sulfuric fumes will eventually eat through any material except for Teflon lined PSP ducting or Polypropylene/Polyethylene. That ductwork looks a lot like welded stainless without a Teflon coating. I say this because there are very few joints and it does not seem serviceable.

I decided to give the company in Bonn a try. I didn?t feel I could defend knowingly having sensors in that were beyond their projected life cycle if something were to happen. So far we have had no issues. We installed them and calibrated with test gas. The only concern I have is the lifetime, the replacements from the alternate supplier in some instances are slightly shorter than the Honeywell MSTs. This is related to a patent on a particular electrolyte, they informed us that from the end of next year all their sensors will have the same lifecycle as Honeywell. For us that issue was for SiH4 and B2H6. There are other sensors in their range with the same issue (see table below) [cidimage001.png at 01D82A32.AC76FC40] The Hydride sensors have the organic electrolyte with a life time of 6-8 month. The Hydride sensors with the ion electrolyte (Life Time 12-24 month) will be available by end of 2023. Honeywell has a patent on the ion electrolyte.

We're now using an extractive tape (Vertex) and extractive electrochemical (Midas) sensors (both from Honeywell), and we've had the same procurement issues you're seeing on the MST sensors with our Midas sensors. We just had a delivery of our LEL sensors pushed out from 30 days to 60 days, and though it's not as big as the delay you're seeing, it's definitely not what we were expecting, or had experienced earlier. As others have already mentioned, any of the alternative solutions come with their own drawbacks in timing, reliability, and implementation cost. Until our supply chain issues start to clear up, I believe this is going to be the new normal...

Honeywell has informed us that the MST sensors that we had ordered in April 2021 and were supposed to be delivered earlier in March of this year won't be ready until early 2023. All our gas sensors (NH3, Cl2, SiH4, HCl) are due for replacement, and we are currently concerned about the risk of running possibly expired sensors. Anyone facing the same issue? Are there other reliable suppliers we can purchase these sensors from? Any advice is appreciated!

One of our users wants to grow a crystal structure with PLD with a target that is composed of In/Cu/V/Ox. Since there is not much research about PLD growth of this material we are not sure what laser energy-density would be suitable for ablation of this composition and thus, I am afraid we might potentially decompose the target and form toxic materials such as CuO or V2O5. I was wondering if you ever come across such situations and how do you come about choosing the laser energy-density for ablation when unsure?!

I don't think adding more time or removing PR from your wafer edge will help. I suspect one of the handling sensors isn't made, you have a mechanical bind (ff feedthrough, gearbox, linear bearing) or you have a failing drive transistor. Looking at your image- Slit valve is open, clamp is up, lift is up, arm is extended Is your "arm out"sensor made? If no you should adjust the arm out sensor. If the arm out sensor is made. Check for a mechanical bind- Remove the mounting plate that holds the motor and gearbox assy. You can then try and rotate the ferrofluid feedthrough shaft by hand. If you can rotate, you don't have a bind. This looks like a Blue PLC control system so it would likely be the Q4 transistor on the LL control card that's the problem. Its mounted just below the LL chamber. It can overheat and intermittently work. Q4 controls the drive back into the LL. It will also discolor so it should be easy to spot.

They can fail as well. mike ________________________________ From: labnetwork on behalf of Paolini, Steven Sent: 22 June 2022 17:06 To: Moreau, Justin ; Chang, Long ; labnetwork at mtl.mit.edu Subject: Re: [labnetwork] Oxford Wafer Jam/Break CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

I don?t think adding more time or removing PR from your wafer edge will help. I suspect one of the handling sensors isn?t made, you have a mechanical bind (ff feedthrough, gearbox, linear bearing) or you have a failing drive transistor. Looking at your image- Slit valve is open, clamp is up, lift is up, arm is extended Is your ?arm out?sensor made? If no you should adjust the arm out sensor. If the arm out sensor is made. Check for a mechanical bind- Remove the mounting plate that holds the motor and gearbox assy. You can then try and rotate the ferrofluid feedthrough shaft by hand. If you can rotate, you don?t have a bind. This looks like a Blue PLC control system so it would likely be the Q4 transistor on the LL control card that?s the problem. Its mounted just below the LL chamber. It can overheat and intermittently work. Q4 controls the drive back into the LL. It will also discolor so it should be easy to spot. You can replace it with a ZTX450 NPN.

The problem was fixed by adding a 15min step to do nothing step to allow the clamp to cool down before unloading. Now the problem is back and the plan is to increase the cool down time until it stops jamming. Is there a better way to avoid this problem? Should the PR on the wafer edge be removed?

Hi Long, We had a very similar issue on an Oxford PECVD tool some time back. And it was a ZTX 450 transistor on a board under the loadlock chamber that was burnt out. And as others have mentioned, it can be identified by the discolored place on the board. The service engineer from Oxford replaced the board though.

If its been failing for some time though it can also start to burn out one of the other transistors. Any that are discolored replace. Its sometimes easier to just snip the legs off and solder a new one to the legs to minimise risk of damage to pcb. Or if you want to future proof it, stick some sockets in there. Really common problem on oipt LL's. keep a batch on 450's and 550's as spares.

I don't think adding more time or removing PR from your wafer edge will help. I suspect one of the handling sensors isn't made, you have a mechanical bind (ff feedthrough, gearbox, linear bearing) or you have a failing drive transistor. Looking at your image- Slit valve is open, clamp is up, lift is up, arm is extended Is your "arm out"sensor made? If no you should adjust the arm out sensor. If the arm out sensor is made. Check for a mechanical bind- Remove the mounting plate that holds the motor and gearbox assy. You can then try and rotate the ferrofluid feedthrough shaft by hand. If you can rotate, you don't have a bind. This looks like a Blue PLC control system so it would likely be the Q4 transistor on the LL control card that's the problem. Its mounted just below the LL chamber. It can overheat and intermittently work. Q4 controls the drive back into the LL. It will also discolor so it should be easy to spot. You can replace it with a ZTX450 NPN.

During my review at the time, I reached a similar conclusion about potential cross-contamination, but I was also on the verge of a shield change in my open chamber (less restricted materials) evaporator, so I gave it some additional consideration, thinking I could swap the shields out soon after if it looked like the Bi caused a problem. I also wondered about toxicity, due to some notes about the safety concerns for Bi vapors I found in old thin film deposition guides. As I dug into it further, I settled on the following additional conclusions: - Bi is the ?heavy metal? least likely to cause heavy metal poisoning issues, and is most dangerous when dealing with its vapors. The evaporator in question is cryopumped, so I confirmed with my cryopump service provider that Bi was not a problem for them, and knew that I?d want to snorkel exhaust the cyropump during subsequent regeneration cycles. - Bi alloys pretty readily with Ti (see attached phase diagram), and the melting point increases quite nicely with increasing Ti fraction, so I thought a good abatement layer of Ti (50-100 nm) deposited on the chamber immediately after (and before venting, with substrate shutter closed to protect the student samples) would help mitigate any cross-contamination issues quite a bit. In the end, I let the student try it, and no related issues presented in the aftermath. For a thicker layer of Bi or maybe a different vacuum system configuration, I might have declined the request, but a few nm of Bi and a lot of Ti abatement worked out okay. We weren?t doing much compound semiconductor work on that machine at the time, so your mileage with a similar approach could vary. Also: when that same student's teammate came by a few weeks later wanting to evaporate bismuth telluride on the same machine, I gave them a firm ?no? because Te toxicity didn?t seem like my idea of fun.

They pick up and deliver on a weekly basis somewhere in the neighborhood of 350-450 pieces of clothing every week, launder it, sort it, individually bag it, and return it to us for about $1K/week,. As long as we are diligent in overseeing what they pick up/return, it's worked out quite well. It has not been without a learning curve though. They have also modified all of our suits and smocks with snaps on the back so that we can add name tags for the people working in our spaces after hours, and for those that want to wear them during the day. Surprisingly, that name tag implementation was not without some pushback from former staff, and users, as well..... My interest in the on-site washing is that some of our garments are heavily soiled, particularly the smocks we use in the service aisle, and we wanted to prewash them before we send them in for final clean and packaging. I would expect our washing machine to be used maybe once a month. It could end up being more often than that as once it's hooked up we may find other uses for it as well.

We purchased a new VCU from Suss and it didn't fix the issue. There was a signal loss somewhere else in the system. So... I bypassed the Suss video system entirely and bought video processor (link below to similar)and just connected left and right microscope cameras to the video processor. This provides split screen live image of left and right cameras. It's been like this for about 10 years and works fine for us. You lose the ability to store an overlayed image (i.e. Grab Image Key) for alignment needed for high mag alignment. We get around that by marking the monitor screen with a Sharpie. Sounds crude but works great! The new $8000 Suss Video Controller Unit was a waste of money in our case. https://www.amazon.com/UHPPOTE-Channel-Splitter-Processor-Control/dp/B06WD13 LTB Bill Lewis Research Service Center University of Florida 1041 Center Dr Gainesville, FL 32611 walewis at ufl.edu 3five2-258-zero5zero7 https://rsc.aux.eng.ufl.edu/ From: labnetwork > On Behalf Of Nava Ariel-Sternberg Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2022 9:27 AM To: labnetwork at mtl.mit.edu Subject: [labnetwork] SUSS mask aligners spare parts [External Email] Hi all, It was great to see everyone at the UGIM earlier this month.

I just wanted to let you all know what I ended up doing and what were the results. I used a fused silica wafer 180 ?m thick and made a gasket that would cover the gap. I took measurements straight from the gun and I used the laser cutter to cut the gasket from the wafer. Before installation of the gasket we kept having to open the chamber every 3-4 uses to clean the flakes that were shorting the gun out by vacuuming and blowing nitrogen in the gap to force flakes that had lodged themselves in there. This process usually took a bit of time and we were afraid that one day we may not be able to dislodge flakes from inside the gap, which would require a more involved maintenance routine. After installation of the gasket, I am happy to say that users were able to use the system about 15 times without interruption and it would presumably continue to work if we didn't change the target source to a different material. When we changed the target we removed the gasket, which we found to be broken, maybe due to thermal stresses, but it still covered the majority of the gap, so we are going to have to make another one when we put the Ir target back on. Right now I am looking for a tougher material with the same properties, so that we can make this more permanent, but as a proof of concept, it worked really well. Best regards and again thank you for your input, Carlos On Tue, Apr 19, 2022 at 4:12 PM Carlos Gramajo wrote: > Hello everyone, > > We have a sputter chamber at Rice in which we are doing a reactive > Iridium Oxide process with an Iridium target.

Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2022 10:40 AM To: labnetwork at mtl.mit.edu Subject: CHIPS Act A quick question for everyone regarding the CHIPS Act that has yet to pass in both the House and Senate. I believe a lot of us feel this will directly impact our facilities due to workforce development needed to support this initiative and there is also real fear of talent poaching. Last week at the UGIM conference we started to have initial discussions about the CHIPS ACT, but no formal discussions. The Labnetwork community and the NNCI network are positioned to be instrumental with this effort (I think), but wanted to ask the following for I'm kind of wondering what is going on. Another thought is that it's just too early at this time since CHIPS has not been approved by Congress yet. 1. Have you been following the CHIPS Act? 2. Has anyone from your institution or state began conversations with NIST or industry regarding this effort? 3. Do you feel you have adequate programs and training in place to help cultivate the future demand needed for semiconductor engineers? Any other nuggets of info would be appreciated. Cheers!
