Brought their MRC 603 Sputtering system from a non functioning system to fully functional. Trouble shot the electronic systems and found problems with the Intel 880 and the Regen circuitry. The Intel 880 had been treated to a water bath and was replaced. The problem with the Regen function was signal traced to a missing trace on a PCB and the trace was installed. The Regen function resumed normally. Also rebuilt the wafer pallet assembly and cleaned all vacuum parts. These activities resulted in improved performance and reliability. I trained Park engineers and operators on system operation and maintenance on these systems.
