To carry
out
production
mode
processing, use
the
following
steps:
1)
Log
on
as
a Manager.
2)
Start
the
external
rotary
vane
pump/dry
pumps
for
the

3)
Evacuate
the
process chamber. Do
not
evacuate
the
automatic
load lock
at
this
stage.
4)
Select
the
system menu, and
then
select
the
Passwords
option.
5)
Log on using
the
appropriate
user name and password

mode
page
is
displayed.
See
sub-section 5.8.4, page 5-39.
6)
Open
the
automatic
load lock's
lid
and place
the
wafer
to
be processed
on
the
transfer arm. Close
the
lid.
7)
Select
the

The
automatic
load lock
will
automatically
pump
down
and
the
recipe
will
run.
Note
that
this
button
only
becomes active
when
a recipe has
been loaded and a batch
identity
has been entered, and
the

are coloured green.
10)
When
the
'Process
Complete'
message
is
displayed, select
the
System
menu and
then

Process menu,
then
the
Chamber 1
option.
Set
the
parameters
as
required,
e.g. Step Time,
RF
generator
power, chiller
temperature,
chamber pressure, and
gas
demands.
6)
Ensure
that
the
Automatic
load lock
is
at
the
required
pressure. (Check
the
relevant
panels
on
the
Pump
Control
page). Green 'ready

WARNING
CONTACT WITH TOXIC GASES CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WHERE
ANY
PROCESS GAS IS TOXIC,
DO
NOT TRANSFER A WAFER FROM
THE
PROCESS CHAMBER TO
THE
LOAD LOCK UNTIL ALL PROCESS GAS HAS BEEN
PUMPED OUT.
ENSURE THAT THE AUTOMATIC VENT SEQUENCE IS ALLOWED TO COMPLETE.
IF THESE PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT CARRIED OUT,
THERE
COULD
BE
A HAZARD
IN
THE
LOAD LOCK.

When
the
'Process
Complete'
message
is
displayed, select
the
Pump
Control
page
and
move
the
wafer
from
the
process chamber
to
the
Automatic
load lock using
the
same
method
as
the
transfer in.
12) Open
the
Automatic
load lock's lid and remove
the
wafer.
13)
If
required,
the
system can
now
be vented,
see
sub-section 5.4.9 page 5-20.
Venting
the
system
WARNING
CONTACT WITH TOXIC GASES CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
BEFORE
VENTING THE PROCESS CHAMBER, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS
ADEQUATELY PURGED
AND
PUMPED.
Do
not
vent
a system
which
has used toxic gases unless
the
system has been
adequately
pumped
first.
For example:
Gases
having Threshold
Limit
Values
(TLVs)
of
1
ppm
or
below,
e.g.
Chlorine,
require
at
least 20
minutes
pumping
before
venting.
After
venting,
there
may
still be residual gases in
the
process chamber. Consider
wearing
suitable personal
protection,
e.g. a respirator.
To
vent
the
system, use
the
following
steps.
1)
From
the
System menu, select
the
Pumping
option.
2)
On
the
Pump Control page, select
the
STOP
button
then
the
VENT
button
for
each
chamber.
Note
that
the
vent
sequence
is
controlled
by
a
timer
to
allow
time
for
the
turbo
pumps
to
'spin'
down.
3)
When
all
of
the
'Vent
Time
Left'
timers have decremented
to
zero, all
of
the
pumps
have been switched
off
automatically, and
the
complete
system has been vented.
Do
not
attempt
to
open
the
process chamber lid
until
the
vacuum switch has changed status,
i.e.
to
its high-pressure status (In this
condition,
on
the
Pump Control page
the
vacuum status
field
will
display 'FAULT').
