Subject: [labnetwork] Light filtering in photolithography bays
Message-ID: <BN8P111MB1447747DD0DB435851971A6B9FA19@BN8P111MB1447.NAMP111.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>
Hi Travis,
A couple years ago we switched our lithography bay fluorescents (T8) to
amber tube LEDS from Super Bright LEDs. The light is more orange than yellow
so took a little adjusting (many users first thought it was darker than
usual), but visibility has actually been much better since we these bulbs
are more stable and we don't end up with dark patches from dead
fluorescents.

lumens-single-end-dual-end-ballast-bypass-type-b-32w-equivalent-1800k+packam
t-30-Pack
Our fume hoods are still fluorescent bulbs with filters. I've definitely
noticed a degredation over time, but our facilities also have purchased
different filters over the years, so I can't provide much comparison to your
situation. However, it may be that your LEDS are emitting higher wavelengths
than the fluorescents. UV Process has UV filters along with the color tubes
which could be useful
https://www.uvprocess.com/c3/1790-gamtube-and-supertube-filters.html
We don't filter our computer screens because don't notice much light
pollution and we don't keep anything photosensitive nearby long-term, but
you can definitely turn down the brightness and blue saturation on the
monitors. We also have not needed to replace the darker pigment filters on
our doors' windows, but similar to the monitors they are placed sufficiently
distant from the photoresists/coated substrates.
Good luck!
Ana

Subject: [labnetwork] SPTS Rapier Module - Laser/White Light
Interferometry

Hello all,
Been almost two weeks since I posted this and believe we have come to some conclusions. Many thanks to all those who contributed. Tyndall and EPFL people were especially helpful.
1. We had a lot of back and forth with SPTS. They said that while they could see benefit of laser interferometry for our application, they currently did not offer the hardware to mount laser interferometry endpoint systems to the Rapier. We asked them to quote to so do, but they were unwilling. Fair enough.
2. I don't think the folks at Tyndall will mind me mentioning the challenges they have faced in getting laser interferometry on their SPTS Synapse module working. I understand the issue is spot stability and wobble, thought to be cased by heat from chamber walls - they Synapse walls are heated to 130oC. It's thought this won't be a problem on the Rapier as chamber walls are only heated to 55oC. Let's hope so.
3. We sent pictures and some dimensions of the pre-drilled holes at the top of our Rapier to Intellemetrics, our preferred laser endpoint system vendor. They believe it possible to mount a LEP 500 unit to the tool with not too much trouble.
Hope summary information is useful.
Cheers,
James
