MIT.nano staff have started posting daily humidity values as comments on the TRL coater as of August 1. More detailed data-logger results are being sent via email that help highlight recent fluctuations.

This update contains information about the general purpose coater for both manual pieces and wafers, the new HMDS oven, and the Semilab ellipsometer.

Since July 8, when coming out of the shutdown, there has been significant effort around temperature/humidity and duct smoke detectors. Across over 24 work orders that facilities opened, various issues were documented and resolved. A rough list of control and hardware problems that were addressed are listed in this post.

MIT.nano is looking for new student members on the Processing Technology Committee (PTC). The PTC meets weekly to review and approve new processes as well as all 24-hr status requests.
