Silicon Status

SI3 STATUS AT PURDUE Oct 15 1999

STATUS OF CLAMSHELL #1

Layer 1 / 2 first clamshell arrived Ithaca 9/8/99

STATUS OF CLAMSHELL #2

3/3 layer 1 mounted and tested
3/5 layer 2 mounted and tested

CLAMSHELL #2 IS ON HOLD PENDING REPLACEMENT PARTS SINCE 9/15/99

1 layer 2 ladder (FL202) has 55 opens no diamond added . Replacement part B56 NL2-25 in process at Purdue (both sides are now wire-bonded 10/12)
1 layer 2 ladder (FL208) has cracked hybrid (about 150 p-side opens, + n-side opens)

Replacement parts for this ladder B83/NL2-07 East starter and B117/NL2-10 West starter arrived at Purdue 10/14 and tested OK

STATUS OF LAYER 3

18 ladders (126 wafers x2 L1+L2)
100% diamond disassembled
100% diamond cleaned for layer 3
100% v-beams fabricated and certified
15 (15) ladders complete with diamond
1 (1) ladders complete without diamond (FL314)
2 ladders remain to be built
10(9)/18 ladders mounted and tested
4(5) ladders ready for mounting
Fraction of all processing complete : 95%
STATUS OF L3 BY LADDER
- FL301 on cone OK (contaminated diamond)
- FL302 on cone OK (contaminated diamond)
- FL303 on cone OK (contaminated diamond)
- FL304 on cone OK (contaminated diamond)
- FL305 on cone OK (contaminated diamond, elevated p-stop current but stable)
- FL306 center contaminated diamond replaced elevated p-stop current but stable, awaits mounting
- FL307 on cone OK (elevated p-stop current but stable)
- FL308 center contaminated diamond replaced, elevated p-stop current but stable, awaits mounting since 10/13
- FL309 on cone OK
- FL310 elevated p-stop current but stable, awaits mounting (since 10/11)
- FL311 on cone no n-side strip isolation, large unstable p-stop current de-mounted and inspected. Currents lower after demounting. Sent to Cornell for evaluation.
- FL312 on cone (elevated p-stop current but stable)
- FL313 on cone (elevated p-stop current but stable)
- FL314 returned from Cornell last week. Tested fine. Flipped and pulled R/C FE suspect p-side bond (Kirk 10/8) Part now looking good. (Diamond still needs to be added to this part)
- FL315 elevated p-stop current but stable, mounted (10/13) tested OK 10/14
- FL316 OK awaits mounting
- FL317: not yet made, HL323 and HL407 are ready
- FL318, not yet made HL324 very high n/p currents, removed chipped wafer, glued new wafer to flex sent to Cornell for bonding

STATUS OF LAYER 4

26 ladders (260 wafers x2 L3)
100% diamond disassembled
100% diamond cleaned for layer 4
(10% of diamond was re-cleaned)
25 of 26 v-beams fabricated, 19 of 25 (16 of 19) certified
5 (6) ladders complete without diamond
12 (10) ladders complete with diamond
8 of 12 ladders ready for mounting
0/26 ladders mounted
Fraction of all processing complete : 77%

To complete L4 we need to build:

9(10)Full Ladders (we have HL¹s for 5(6)ladders fully processd (this total includes HL554 at Cornell) 8HL need to be built ( 6 starters not yet at Purdue)
5 out of 8 wafer chains are ready

3 out of 8 wafer chains had 4^th wafer removed all are fine, will re-build WC¹s after WC building machine is put back under CMM

Recovery of HL554 (fried, at Cornell, status from Eckhart?)

Plan for of starters not yet at Purdue?
