Subject: SPTS Rapier Module - Laser/White Light Interferometry
Hello,
Hoping the community can feedback on their experiences.
In 2019 we purchased an SPTS Rapier DSiE tool. As well as doing Bosch processing we also require the tool to do mixed process etching. Quite a few of our users, on our other Si etch tools (OIPT Estrelas and STS Multiplex), use mixed process to etch SOI materials or a-Si on fused silica substrates. These systems have Intellemetrics LEP 410/500 red laser interferometer units for the purpose of end-point detection.
When we purchased the Rapier, SPTS did tell us that a laser end-point system could not be used. They encouraged us instead to use the Claritas OES system on the tool, however when we pointed out our typical use scenario (small substrate size, low % open area) they admitted that the Claritas would struggle to differentiate when to end-point. Our preferred laser interferometer vendor, Intellemetrics, say they have sold LEP 500 red laser interferometer units to SPTS but cannot say on what systems they have been used.
We have found that EPFL use white light interferometry<https://www.epfl.ch/research/facilities/cmi/equipment/etching/spts-rapier/> end-point detection on their Rapier module - have contacted Phillipe Fluckiger separately.
My question to the community is has anyone used a laser interferometry system on an SPTS Rapier? If so, could they feedback with their experiences. Apologies I'm asking such an open question!
Cheers,
James

Subject: [labnetwork] Repair of Lehighton 1510C Sheet Resistance Measurement
System
Message-ID: <d00c8759-2935-e21b-72ea-683a4a7f56d1@cst.rwth-aachen.de>
Hello all!
Our Lehighton 1510C sheet resistance measurement system PC (from the
1990's) broke, we lost the hard drive and we need to reinstall and
reconfigure the software.
Semilab LEI (the former Lehighton Electronics team that manufactured our
model) is not very helpful. Even after a few emails back and forth, it
is not even clear (to us) if they still have the software for this tool.
Is there anyone else or maybe a company that can still repair this tool?
The main software Lei1500 for the device is stored on 5 diskettes, but
the fifth is corrupt. Does anyone still have these installation disks?
But even with these, it seems like additional setup steps are needed to
set up the two ISA cards and other hardware.
I managed to recover data from the broken hard drive, but I couldn't get
the software to control the hardware. Apparently, the PCs were delivered
pre-configured, so simply copying the software is not enough.
Thank you and greetings from Germany
Jan

Subject: [labnetwork] Thoughts about sunlight entering cleanroom
Message-ID: <YT1PR01MB8715BE1F4D21DE06BE1C7D0F8EAA9@YT1PR01MB8715.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>
Hello, in the planning of our new facility the architects have placed windows along a side of the cleanroom (which is fine). Outside of the windows is a hallway which is lined with large windows to the outside. This would allow for sunlight to pass through two sets of windows and into the cleanroom. Although standard windows are adequate for filtering a majority of shorter wavelength UV, some of the longer wavelength UV (UV-A, ~300-400 nm) will still transmit. It is of my belief that it's standard practice not to have sunlight entering the cleanroom (especially a litho area).
Are any of your cleanrooms exposed to sunlight (I haven't seen any) and, if so, what type of window filtering do you use?
Cheers,
