(The system is shipped with the lockout block and padlock sealed in a plastic bag inside the electrical enclosure.)
DSS-200 TYPE 3 AND TYPE 4 TASK HAZARDS WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD: The following procedures are DSS-200 type 3 and type 4 task hazards. These procedures should be performed by qualified electrical technicians only. Power Supply Calibration All power supply calibration procedures are classified as Type 4 Electrical Task Hazards.
C h a p t e r 2 S A F E T Y The Spin Station activity STOPS when the door is opened. When the Spin Station Door door is closed, the system continues processing. An optional pneumatic latch prevents the lid from being opened when the spin station is spinning.
Once pressed, the EMO button requires a key to unlock it. The system cannot be put into START again until the EMO switch is unlocked. MAINTENANCE ISSUES Chemical Safety Every operator and maintenance technician must be familiar with the chemicals used in the system. An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each potentially dangerous chemical used in the system should be available near the point of use.
C h a p t e r 2 S A F E T Y GENERAL OPERATIONAL SAFETY Bulkhead Input Station (Optional Feature) Some Series II systems are installed with the input station mounted flush against a wall. Wafer cassettes are loaded into the input station from an adjacent room through a door built into the wall.
Ammonium Hydroxide. This information is believed to be accurate and represents the best information currently available to OnTrak. However, OnTrak makes no warranty of merchantability or any other warranty, expressed or implied with respect to such information, and assumes no liability resulting from its use.
C h a p t e r 2 S A F E T Y Synonyms Ammonia Solution; Aqua Ammonia; Ammonia Hydroxide; Ammonia Water. Properties Colorless liquid with a sharp, pungent Ammonia odor. If spilled or left open to the atmosphere, ammonium hydroxide gives off ammonia gas at room temperature.
Page 26
The OSHA PEL of 35 PPM for Ammonia gas is the short term exposure limit (STEL) reflecting a 15 minute weighted average. NIOSH recommends a 50 PPM, 5 minute ceiling. Inhalation: Corrosive Exposure Effects: Acute exposure to concentrations of: 5 PPM of ammonia vapor may cause mild irritation. 9-50 PPM may cause nasal dryness, olfactory fatigue and moderate irritation.
Page 27
C h a p t e r 2 S A F E T Y First Aid: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minute). In case of chemical burns, cover the effected area with sterile, dry dressing.
First Aid: Administer water or milk (milk of magnesia if available) to dilute the solution. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, THIS COULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. Keep the victim warm and quiet. Treat for shock. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of vomitus.
C h a p t e r 2 S A F E T Y SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES General Procedures Do not touch the spilled material. Stop the leak if you can do so without risk to any personnel. For small spills, soak them up with vermiculite, floor absorbent or other compatible absorbent material, then place it into a clearly marked container(s) for later disposal.

A p p e n d i x F O R M S SMOOTH WAFER TRAVEL CHECKLIST The smooth travel of wafers is essential for maximum cleaning effectiveness. Low particle count depends upon the precise handling of wafers while they are in the system. Use the START and STOP buttons on the control panel to facilitate closer inspection if necessary.
Page 104
Smooth Wafer Travel Checklist STEP VISUAL INSPECTION AREA In Brush Station #1, measure to ensure that the wafer is centered, front to back, between the brushes. Check that the wafers are centered left to right in the brush box. To measure, use the reflection of the brush to edge of the wafer.
Page 105
A p p e n d i x F O R M S Smooth Wafer Travel Checklist STEP VISUAL INSPECTION AREA An incoming wafer on the spin station carriage should stop exactly centered over the spindle fingers (not too far or short). The wafer should NOT contact the wafer emergency stop fixture.
Page 106
Smooth Wafer Travel Checklist STEP VISUAL INSPECTION AREA Visually inspect the alignment of the spindle fingers with the edges of the wafer on the carriage. When the spin fingers close on the wafer, the fingers should lift the wafer slightly off the carriage track. When the spin fingers first touch the wafer, the wafer should be 1-2 mm lower than the center of the finger groove.
Page 107
A p p e n d i x F O R M S Smooth Wafer Travel Checklist STEP VISUAL INSPECTION AREA Visually check the lifter blade at “final move up.” The blade should gently press against the bottom of the wafer; this slight pressure should cause the top unload handler fingers to move up 1-2 mm from the unload handler fingers original stopping point.

7.2.1 Starting Material 7.2.1.1 The wafer surface should be hydrophilic. A hydrophobic wafer causes water to bead on its surface. The thickness and thickness uniformity of oxide layers can influence particle detection sensitivities of the measure- ment system. Also, organic contamination on the wafer surface can effect surface condition.
