Fig 3.1: Typical control system
The system may be run
from
the
PC
terminal
in manual mode,
that
is
using direct 'real
time'
control
over
the
process,
or
in
automatic
mode
where
the
system performs
the
entire
process
according
to
previously
entered
recipes. The extensive
Oxford
Instruments Plasma Technology
process library supports all
Plasma
lab
System
100 configurations. A
full
description
of
the
'PC
2000'
control
instructions
is
provided in Section
5.
For details
of
the
control
wiring,
see
the
relevant drawings in Volume 2
of
this manual.

Interlocks
There are
two
types
of
interlocks used
on
the
Plasma
lab
System
100,
hardware
and software.
In
all areas,
the
hardware
interlock
will
override
any
software
interlock. The
hardware
interlocks, and
their
effect
on
the
system components
in
the
case
of
an
interlock
becoming
open circuit are
as
follows:
The electrical interlocks are divided
into
two
circuits
controlling
the
power
to
the
system.
1)
The mains
power
connection
is
made
to
a system Power
Distribution
Unit.
The Power
Distribution
Unit
will
disable all
of
its
power
outputs
under
the
following
conditions:
a)
If
the
Emergency
Off
button
is
pressed.
b)
If
there
is
an
interruption
of
the
power
input
to
the
system.
c)
If
the
Power
Distribution
Unit
external
facility
interlock
sensor
link
becomes
open circuit.
NOTE: The Power
Distribution
Unit
external
facility
interlock
sensor
link
enables
the
interlocks
of
external sensors, e.g. gas
detectors, exhaust scrubbers, etc.,
to
be
monitored
by
the
Power
Distribution
Unit. External
interlock
contacts connected
to
this
link
should
be
Normally
Closed, i.e.
faulting
to
an Open Circuit.
2)
The system
internal
24V supply, comprises a process line, a chamber lid line and a
water
flow
switch
(where
fitted):
The 24V process line, which controls
the
process gases and plasma
power
supply
units,
will
be disabled
if
the
Vacuum Safety Switch
is
open circuit, i.e. Chamber
Pressure> 600 mbar.
The 24V chamber
lid
line
will
be disabled
if
the
chamber lid
is
OPEN,
leaving
the
system
controller
operational,
but
disabling all system components.

If
open,
will

until

loadinq

is
at
its
home
position;
then
it
will

**
If
'high
pressure'
is
signalled
during
process,
APC
opens and process step aborts. High pressure
at
other
times does
not
alter
the
APC.
Table 3.1: Consequences
%pen
circuit interlocks
Other
machine
protection
switches include:
a)
A
water
flow
switch.
Low
flow
is
reported
to
the
system controller,
which
disables
specific devices
until
flow
is
restored.
b) Pump
overload
detection.
If
the
primary
pump
stops because
the
over-current
protection
switch opens,
then
the
system aborts.
The
software
also
monitors
the
position
of
the
wafer
handling
mechanisms, ensuring safe
operation.
