Note that moving the mouse pointer over a feature will cause a box to be displayed around 
the feature indicating that it can be manually controlled. 

 

a)

 

Vent valve. 

b)

 

Gate valve. 

c)

 

CM gauge isolating valve. 

d)

 

Fast Valves (click on a valve mimic to open the valve; its mimic will become green). 

e)

 

Rotary vane/dry pump. 

The 

Table

 

Heater

 button is used to autotune the table heater. 

The 

ADD WAFER

 button is used to inform the system that a wafer is present. This facility 

would be used if the machine were powered-up with a wafer in the process chamber. The 
legend on this button changes to 

KILL WAFER

 when a wafer is present, enabling the selected 

wafer to be removed from system memory.

To exit from service mode, select the system menu and then the 

Exit Service

 option. The 

following dialogue box is displayed: 

 

 

Ensure that there are no personnel close to the system, and then select the 

OK

 button. 

After exiting from service mode, the system configuration will depend on which service mode 

facilities were used as follows: 

If no service mode facilities were used, e.g. no valves were open or closed; the system 

configuration will be the same as it was before entering service mode. 

If the service facilities were used, the system configuration will depend on which of the 

facilities were used as follows. 

To prevent damage to the system, if the process chamber had any of its features altered in 

service mode, e.g. valves opened/closed, pumps turned on/off etc., it will have its pumping 
stopped. 

To return the process chamber to the pumping or vent state, click on the associated 

Stop

 

button, and then on the 

Evacuate

 button or the 

Vent

 button as required. The chamber will 

then pump down or vent.
