Panasonic Etcher Heater Issue
Over the weekend the Panasonic encountered an error where the chamber heater was over temperature. The error cleared and the system worked as normal over the rest of the weekend. On Monday the system encountered a persistent error where the chamber heater read as under temperature. It is my suspicion that the heater has failed, and will need replacement.

I have forwarded these details, along with tool recipes and sensor readouts to Panasonic support, seeking their recommendations. Typically they reply in a week. I also plan on physically inspecting the heater and thermocouples after I have finished repairing the AOE.

In the event we have to order replacement OEM parts from Panasonic we might be facing several week delays, although I will inquire about rush options.

In the event the Panasonic is down long term the STS AOE (expected to be back online next week) has similar capability, minus the availability of process gases CHF3, BCl3, and Cl2. That functionality can be found at neighboring universities, which can be contacted below. It might be prudent to contact them and discuss your needs now in the event of major equipment failure and long delays.

Please Note: The parallel parking A spots on Marshall Drive on the west side of Birck is no longer A parking.   They are marked NO PARKING AT ANY TIME now.  With the many changes happening with construction around Birck please make sure to pay attention to signage.
