Thats funnyM0T said:
yes i work in bunny suit and the crappy gloves.
couldnt blame it on someone else because everyone else buggered off.
what makes it worse is the tool is still down (time is money) because i have to open the chamber and clean it up. happy days .
As for the core speed i work in fab 36 which is the newest fab and has the newest tools so builds the fastest chips wafer was worth over 100,000 euros when finished.
just hope i get to go to austin this year for two weeks todo the handling course i think i need it
waiting for the chamber to vent 
and it's lunch time
and it's lunch time
Long story and very hard to explain but basically the automatic movements whouldnt work so i had to move the robot manually all good i have a wafer on the chuck and the robots homed. then i restart the tool at which point the chuck move 90 degrees and tinkle tinkle how forgot to apply the electrostatic force to hold the wafer to the chuck.Sirrel Squirrel said:
the wafer is 300mm across and so is the chuck the force is applied evenly over the wafersurfsquid said:
Explain sub standard machinery to me pleaseRaikiri said:Wow...they are actually people in those suits
Bad luck, but just say you're fed up working with sub standard machinery and it was bound to happen sooner or later...
Handling was offRaikiri said:
just asking because i dont work for AMD i am the equipment manufacture engineer onsite. as i say i would but carnt blame anybody else because the buck stop with me. anyway am over it am not the first person to break a wafer and i won't be the last.if anybody interested i work for www.amat.com check out the ion implanter it even shows you how to make a transister.
Am off to open the chamber and give it a clean
Good news it was only a test wafer not a prod wafer so cost is only a few hundred euros.
by the way we have 24 hr support with 12 hr shifts and am on the night shift yuh.
all cleaned and chamber pumping down.
for the people wanting chips sorry we only make the wafers here in dresden they are sent to singapore for cutting and packaging(plastic body and legs).
