Dear Birck Research Community,

The Purdue winter recess begins effective Friday afternoon December 20th and concludes Thursday morning, January 2. The university is officially closed during this time. As we have done in past years, the Birck Nanotechnology Center will remain available for research but will be unstaffed and hazardous gasses will be unavailable. Lab work may otherwise proceed, though any fume hood work must be done with someone else present in the same laboratory or cleanroom bay (the "buddy" system). Click the link above to get more detail about equipment conditions and rules.

Protemp Horizontal Furnace - Tube 04 - Field Oxide Growth

iLab Name: C - Tube 04 Field Ox
iLab Kiosk: BRK Furnace Core
FIC: Shared
Owner: Rich Hosler
Location: Cleanroom - R Bay
Maximum Wafer Size: 6"/150 mm (for all furnaces)

This tube has a damaged from heating zone. Tests were performed to determine if this is causing lower rates. (oct_23_ox_check.xlsx) 

Dry oxide rate was determined to be 7% lower than target on the default 200nm recipe.

Wet oxide rate was determined to be 36% lower than target on the default 1000nm recipe.

The tube is still functional and usable, just bear the above in mind with recipe lengths.
