The YES-310TA (E) (scheduler name Image Reversal Oven) is an image reversal and vapor prime oven designed by Yield Engineering Systems. It can vapor prime wafers with HMDS in order to improve photoresist adhesion. It can also perform image reversal via NH3. The large oven chamber can easily accommodate anything from a piece to a box of wafers.

Material restrictions

The YES-310TA is designated as a General class tool. Below is a list of approved materials for the tool. Approved means the material is allowed in the tool under normal circumstances. If a material is not listed, please create a helpdesk ticket or email info@lnf.umich.edu for any material requests or questions.


All polymers (including photoresist) must be fully cured before loading into the tool.

Supported processes

There are two main processes for image reversal and HMDS, detailed below. If these recipes do not suit your needs, please contact the tool engineers via the helpdesk ticket system for assistance.

Checkout procedure

Follow this procedure to receive authorization to run supported processes. Practicing with an authorized user or staff member prior to checkout is strongly encouraged.

  1. Complete a lithography training session. If you have already completed this for another tool, you do not need to complete it again.
  2. Read through this page and the User Manual above.
  3. Accurately complete the checkout quiz. You may retake as necessary until all answers are correct.
  4. If possible, practice with your mentor or another authorized user until you are comfortable with tool operation.
  5. Schedule a time for a checkout:
    1. Find an available time for checkout.
    2. Verify that the tool is available in the LNF Online Services at the time you are requesting.
    3. After confirmation that the event is scheduled in Calendly, invite the staff member assigned to your event to a Staff Support reservation at that time.
  6. Create a helpdesk ticket for final confirmation of your checkout appointment.
  7. Authorization will be provided pending demonstration of proper tool use in the presence of a tool engineer.

Maintenance

The YES Image Reversal oven is cleaned and maintaned as needed. The HMDS level is checked regularly and refilled when low. Any relevant information regarding tool maintenance is captured in the user logbook or announced via email and the Announcements section on the LNF wiki page.

User authorized maintenance

Please review the troubleshooting section in the User Manual for information on user-recoverable errors.
