Introduction
610-14224-01, Revision 0
YES-PB8-2HV 1
Introduction
Process Description
Typical applications that this tool can be used for (but are not limited to)
are: Applications
Copper Anneal - A type of heat treatment where the microstructure
of a material is altered, causing changes in its properties such as
strength and hardness.
Low-K dielectric cure - A thin film application that also involves
moisture removal and sealing.
Getter Activation - Getters are used to scavenge unwanted gases in
many applications. In MEMS devices, getters may be used to tie up
excess moisture or hydrogen which may interfere with the long term
operation of the device. Activating the getter material involves high
temperature and high vacuum processing to ensure the material starts
as moisture / hydrogen-free as possible.
Thin Film Thermal treatment - Thin film resistors can change
properties rapidly as they age unless they are properly thermally
treated. The process stabilizes the crystal grain and ensures long
term predictable behavior.
!!!Caution!!!
Regardless of process this tool is compatible for use with
non-toxic, non-flammable gasses only! Never allow
processing of substrates in the chamber that produce low
vapor pressure condensable vapors. They will be very
difficult to remove and will limit ultimate pump down
pressure specification of the chamber. Wear gloves when
handling cassettes or near chamber inner surfaces, to
prevent human organic contaminations.
Sub-Atmospheric Process
The oven comes equipped with a full chamber laminar flow system
through which preheated nitrogen is gently introduced during the
process. To help prevent particles on wafers and cassettes, the nitrogen
first passes through a stainless steel filter before entering the process
area. Vacuum introduced at the chamber floor creates the nitrogen
laminar flow and removes particles. Room temperature nitrogen flows
into the chamber at the end of the process to cool and continue cleaning
the wafers before removal.
A circulating air conduit cools the oven door and seal assemblies
allowing the product to be removed while leaving the oven walls at
idling (ambient-250°C) temperature to reduce ramp-up/ramp-down time

Introduction
610-14224-01, Revision 0
YES-PB8-2HV 2
for the next wafer batch. A separate air circulation system works to
rapidly cool the oven down once the process is complete.
Hi Vacuum Process
The YES-PB8-2HV is also able to perform deep vacuum pulls and
allows more versatility to process requirements. Process temperature
uniformity is still controlled, even without the aid of gas conductance
that is present in the sub-atmospheric pressure range.

Type 5 Electrical Hazards
Type 5: Maintenance requiring physical entrance into
energized equipment.
There are no Type 5 electrical hazards on the YES-PB8-2HV as it is too
small for physical entrance.
Electrical Disconnect
The main power disconnect switch for the YES-PB8-2HV is located at
the right side of the rear panel on the Control Console. The main
disconnect switch removes all electrical power from the tool, including
the pump power.
Cabinet Safety Grounding
!!!Warning!!!
Engage the EMO button, turn off the main
disconnect and padlock, and remove plug
from facilities before servicing. There is no
visual device to indicate when the power has
been removed from the system, other than
the position of the main disconnect switch.

Chamber Temperature
Temperature increases in the chamber during normal operation. The tool
implements a maximum allowable temperature limit set point, primarily
to protect temperature runaway.
Vacuum Pump Temperature
Temperatures will increases on the outer vacuum pump housing surfaces
with continued operation.
!!!Caution!!!
Ensure vacuum pump housing
temperature is at a safe handling
temperate (51C) before touching.
The use of protective gloves is
recommended at elevated
temperatures.
!!!Caution!!!
When running process please note that the chamber flange is an
exposed area located just behind the door. Ensure flange
temperature is at a safe handling temperate (51C) before touching.
The use of protective gloves is recommended at elevated
temperatures. When the use of gloves is not enough for your
process YES has specially designed handlers for cassettes if
necessary.
