June 2016 water damage

This page has been created to consolidate updates following the June 4th flood that occurred in EECS 1480 (new cleanroom space). Note that ROBIN and EECS 1440 (older part of the cleanroom) were not affected.

As of 6/4/16, all equipment in 1480 EECS is off-line and there is no user access to that area of the lab.

Facility status

Alternative solutions and back up

Wafer mounting station

The wafer mounting station has been relocated near the LAM RIE tool

(MC)2 access for LNF users needing AFM/SEM

• register to create an account in FOM
• Email Bobby Kerns, the (MC)2 center manager
• Bobby Kerns will arrange group training sessions on the AFM and training on the appropriate SEM as needed
• Complete the MCard form for direct access to the NCRC building 22

Furnace processing at Cornell University

• Wet and dry Thermal Oxidation up to 1200 C
• Ar, N2 and 5%H2 forming gas anneals 200-1100C
• POCL3 Doping furnace for 4 and 6” wafers
• Solid Planar Diffusion Sources of Boron and Phosphorus for 4” wafers only
• LPCVD LTO 450 C Silane/O2
• LPCVD Polysilicon, undoped, N+ or P+ in-situ Doped
• LPCVD Silicon nitride — Stoichiometric, Low Stress, Hight Temp Oxide 800C

Wet benches (Acid 12, Mask 13, and Solvent 14)

Tanks were added in Acid 72 for:

• Cr Etch
• Gold Etch
• Nanostrip
• BHF

These should be used instead of Acid 12 and Mask 13.

Solvent 84 should be used instead of Solvent 14. This bench should accommodate most of the processing.

E-Beam Spinner/Hot-Plate Bench 21

Users can use the CEE 100CB spinner in 1440C to spin PMMA. 950K A2, 950K A4, and 950K A6 PMMA are available in amber bottles in the Akro bin near the top right corner of the bench.

Please create a helpdesk ticket if you don't have access to this spinner. If you are already checked out, please follow protocol particular to this bench.

You can also use the hotplates that are in 1440C for baking.

YES Plasma Stripper

A comparable O₂ descum recipe has been developed on the Plasmatherm 790.

Ti/Au and Ti/Pt Sputtering Deposition

The Denton Explorer-14 Sputter has been equipped with both Au and Pt targets for sputtering using Ti as the bonding layer. Please write a ticket if you need training in this tool.
