We have to replace a bad cardcage cooling fan in our Karl Suss MA6 mask aligner. These fans are sandwiched above the cardcage and below the main lamp housing. The lamp housing does appear to be on a sliding rail of some kind to either slide or flip out of the way to allow access, but we are not quite sure how to move it. The manual is of no help. We are trying to figure it out but if anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

Attach a 580 CGA regulator and you are good to go. These bottles would be cleaner than a compressor and only cost about $15 a bottle. If you need more volume, an LN2 dewar could also work.

(100 mm) wafers using a 4 mask level process. I am attaching the traveler that is being used this semester. Typically there are 10 labs over the 15 week semester, with the devices being tested in the last lab. Enrollment is limited to about 28 students because we limit the number of students in the clean room to 4 students at a time, and having 7 lab sessions outside of class lectures a week is about the scheduling limit. The lab sessions are nominally 2 hours, but often shorter and occasionally longer. I always try to have two experienced Teaching Assistants in each lab session for safety. You likely can get a donated furnace for diffusion (we use spin on boron) and oxidation. We have a sputter system to deposit Al for contacts. Most of the time testing consists of just probe-testing at the wafer level. A few times we have diced up the wafer and mounted some transistors on TO headers. I also teach a compound semiconductor course and in the lab portion of that course we fab InP based HBTs, GaAs based HEMPTs and semiconductor lasers (GaAs or InP based). In a 15 week semester, we can easily fab any two types of devices, although on occasion we have done all three. IntelliEPI generously provides the epitaxial material. These devices only require photolithography, wet etching and metallization (TiAu, e-beam deposited). If interested I can send the process travelers for these devices, too. If you want more information (mask details, course syllabus?) let me know or just give me a call.

Very simple, very straight forward, you start with a (piece of) Wafer and end up with a somewhat functional device.

The idea was similar to Philipp's. The goal was to make a simple device but would need most of the commonly used microfab procedures. The Ni-Cr thermocouple fabrication needed mask design, wafer cleaning, oxidation, spin-coating, photolithography with alignments (provided more complexity), film deposition, and wet etching, etc. End of the day students get a wafer diced and many devices. Then we tested a few of them to see if it works and what the temperature response curve was.

These driver errors have gone so far as to corrupt the hard drive on the computer, but, I have always been able to reinstall Windows from the BIOS and get the tool to communicate with the PC. Just recently, some routine maintenance was performed and the tool was shut down from the power source (breakers were turned off). Now, after repowering the tool (following the startup procedure from the manual), the computer does not have any of the configuration settings (MFC, heater, and valve locations along with upper and lower limits). Even though the tool makes the USB connection to the PC when the image of the reactor tries to load, it disappears and is replaced with what I can only assume is the default image with no configuration (see attached image). Also, when I go to load a recipe, it tells me that my recipe parameters are outside of the upper/lower limits of 0/0. After reading the manual, I noticed that my software is missing the "service" tab that allows you to make the configuration and push it to the tool. My question: is the configuration for the reactor/MFCs/heaters stored on the Windows PC that interfaces with the tool, or, is that information stored on the E-box inside the tool?

In years past the lab class has built pressure sensors but this year we are doing "pop-up" structures similar to the microelectromechanical (MEMS) gripper from the Harnett lab found here: https://harnettlab.org/ You can also see some video and photos of the students' progress this term on our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/micronanolouisville/ And you can find class related resources on our website: https://louisville.edu/micronano/ECE%20544 . The students are first walked through the rather straightforward fab sequence to gain familiarity with the cleanroom tools and then they design their own structures followed by doing a second round of fabrication. Another thing we did differently this year is to have the cleanroom staff act as the TA's. While it is time consuming and bit of a pain (opinions my own) I think the students have had a MUCH better experience than in years past. Having inexperienced, sometimes apathetic grad students as TA's is not optimal for the undergrads. That said we doubt we will be doing this again. ? ECE 544 ?

We have sophomores, seniors and beginning graduate students all take the class. The class and lab is taught by faculty (with faculty and TA's together in the lab) Here are my thoughts on such a class and a very early reference to our first level course. I also recommend that you attend UGIM 2024 at MIT to hear first- hand what other universities are doing. Reference (we have many other papers at UGIM about our curriculum): R. Pearson, R. Turkman, L. Fuller, and S. Ramanan, PMOS Metal Gate Process, Ideal for Undergraduate Integrated Circuit Fabrication Projects, Proceedings of the Seventh Biennial University Government Industry Microelectronics Symposium, Rochester, NY, June 1987. You need to teach with a meaningful electrical device as the primary focus, namely a transistor since it is the fundamental element of virtually every semiconductor circuit being made these days. It does not matter if it is NMOS, PMOS or CMOS just that it is a MOSFET. Enhancement mode PMOSFETs can reliably and easily be made on n-type substrates. NMOSFETS tend to end up as depletion mode devices unless you do a specific threshold voltage adjustment (which might be educational but require outside processing). We here at RIT might be able to help you with that with our ion implanter for a small fee. The metal-gate (aluminum) PMOS process is a simple 4 mask process and can be done in 7-8 weeks leaving time on the front end of the course for design (layout) and the backend for electrical testing. If you have your own mask masking capability or direct write (Heidelberg laser writer?) each student can manufacture their own design as part of a multi-student chip. We give each student a 12-pad (100 by 100 micron pads in two rows of 6) probe configuration (800 by 800 micron total area) to design in. The probe pads match our probe cards and greatly speeds up the electrical testing. We have lots of course and lab notes as well as Silvaco simulation input files that we can share. You must be able to do doping of some sort to create the source and drain regions. We started by using spin on dopant sources for our drain/source areas and resistors. It is simple and safe. Uniformity can be an issue but it teaches good manufacturing lessons. You can also expand into doing other processes such as double diffused (non-isolated) or triple diffused (isolated) bipolar transistors and diodes. These processes require more mask levels and longer processing time. We have actually condensed the 4-level PMOS process into a one-week short course. Maybe you should come to Rochester Institute of Technology sometime and run though it with us. I would be glad to talk to you further about helping you get your course off the ground.

We switched to them years ago because they are very convenient to us, as they provide pickup/dropoff service. After years of reliable service, we have experienced a large number of issues with items they have repaired for us which, prior to 2022, was very unusual. This has caused us a lot of headaches and resulted in extended tool downtime. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Have things been just fine for you? I am very interested in reading what you have to say.
