Mark,

 

   We have a customer that is looking for a RIE etch tool with a load lock,
do you or anyone else know of one?

 

Thanks,

Has anyone or everyone had the experience of purchasing an expensive or high
maintenance tool that a professor or user group HAD to have, only to watch
it sit there with little or no usage? Maintenance bills piling up and no
revenue to offset it? We ended up with a few under-utilize excellent tools
that are available to users from other institutions in the event that they
don't exist at their home labs. 

 

Here is our list:

6 inch 4-Tube CVD Furnace 

Jeol JBX-5500 E-beam Writer

Zeiss 1540XB Focused Ion Beam

Oxford EDAX

Oxford EBSD

Zeiss STEM

 

All of these systems are used by our normal user base but not nearly enough.
If you have systems that are highly available please post so that we may
send users to your site. Hopefully this can increase usage for everyone's
Must-have little used tools!
