Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Introduction
Overview
Use the troubleshooting (fault isolation) and diagnostic procedures to quickly discover and resolve Tool
problems so down time can be minimized. When the following troubleshooting procedures are correctly
used, most Tool problems can be solved without having to call for additional internal or external help.
This chapter gives basic strategies and procedures for troubleshooting and doing diagnostic work on the
Tool. Procedures are given for recovering from system faults and doing basic troubleshooting procedures
on the Tool.
Process
During all troubleshooting (fault isolation) procedures use a logical system approach, process of
elimination, and the follow the written procedural Steps to determine the cause of Tool problems. During
the fault isolation process, the most effective approach is to use a logical sequence to test one item at a
time to locate and eliminate the problem.
Modular
Systems
Most systems on the Tool are modular. Because of the Tool design, some systems can continue to
function while others are stopped to do component repair and replacement. Many Tool assemblies, like
the electrical panels and pneumatic panels can be completely replaced with new units while repair work is
completed off site on failed components.

If the
Pressure
Drops
Do the following procedure if the Polish Head leaks.
Step
Instruction
1
Make sure the polish transducer is working correctly by connecting the output of the E/P
regulator directly to the input of the transducer.
2
Use your hand to pinch and hold the E/P output line, then monitor the polish transducer for
any change in pressure.
3
If the displayed pressure does not change, the air leak is most likely in the polish bell
assembly.
4
Direct the MP to apply 1 PSI to the polish pad with the wafer head in the up position. This
will inflate the bladder
5
Spray DI water on the pad and look for bubbles.
6
If no bubbles are detected, stop the flow of polish air, then remove the pad.
7
Apply 0.5 PSI to the bladder and use Snoop leak detection liquid, or equivalent, on and
around the bladder.

06/25/1999
Instruction
Look for liquid in the polish bell when lifting up the bladder.
10
If there are no signs of liquid, then the leak is probably in one of the fittings underneath the
bladder. Refer to Detecting Fluid Leaks.
11
Make sure the two polish air lines are good from the lower pneumatics panel by connecting a
tubing between the polish air input and polish air return lines and repeat the pinch off test
described before.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Detecting Fluid Leaks
Inspect for Do the following procedure to visually inspect below the Polish head for fluids.
Fluid Leaks
Step
Instruction
06/25/1999
1
Remove the MP Lower Pneumatic panels and visually look for fluids inside the bottom of the
Tool.
2
If there are fluids, determine if leak is coming from the Lower pneumatics panel, or from the
tubes that connect to the bottom of the Polish head.
3
If fluid is leaking past the bladder and back in to the polish air return line, the filter will fill up,
overflow, and fluid will collect in the bottom of the Tool.
4
If there is a leak in the tubes that connect to the Polish head, remove the Polish Bell to gain
access to the tubing connectors.
5
If a leak is suspected inside the polish bell, wipe off the bladder until it is dry. Remove the
bladder and look for fluid under the bladder before it is removed, this will make sure that you
are not dripping fluids into the polish bell. If there is evidence of a leak in this area, you can
look for leaks in the lines by closing off the tubes and manually turning on Purge, DI water,
and Slurry to isolate leak.
AvantGaard™ 676 Maintenance Manual
11-9
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Detecting Purge Blockages
Clearing
Blockages
If you are unable to get fluids out through the bladder fitting, do the following procedure to determine the
cause of blockages.
CAUTION - Do not leave slurry pumps running for a long period of time. You may over
pressurize the lines and possibly cause a tubing line to come off in the Slurry Box.
06/25/1999
Step
Instruction
1
Determine if the blockage affects all fluids, or just the slurry pumps, by enabling the Purge I/
O and making sure DIH2O comes out the center hole. If no water comes out, try slurry 1,
then slurry 2.
2
If there is no fluid flow, remove the bladder. Clean the bladder fitting and the tubing that it
connects to. The beswick fittings for the slurry line can get some build up on the inside and
reduced flow can result.
3
If after doing a Slurry Pump test / calibration procedure you are not able to get good flow
through the bladder fitting, clean out the beswick fittings and lines before and after the fitting.
4
Make sure the rinse lines that go to the 20 holes around the lower V-clamp ring are not
clogged. These lines can become clogged if the bladder is not centered properly during
installation.

Step
06/25/1999
Instruction
1
Write down the Vacuum Switch/Sensor reading in the MP Upper Pneumatics panel with a
wafer installed in the wafer head. -14.8 psi is nominal.
2
Use a 3 foot length of 1/4” air line to route the vacuum to the sensor in the adjacent upper
pneumatics panel and compare readings. The difference in readings should not be greater
than 1 to 2 mm.
3
Disconnect the lines at the vacuum generator marked VACUUM. With the 3 foot air line,
connect the sensor directly to the vacuum source. A large difference between this reading
and the reading in Step 1 shows a vacuum leak.
4
Disconnect the orange air pressure line going from the wafer air solenoid MO28 to the Tfitting and block it. If the vacuum reading improves, then MO8 may be leaking
5
Trace back to the wafer head to locate the leak.
6
Make sure the air lines are not leaking in carrier and polish heads. Pinch off the source and
make sure pressure does not change from the setting listed above.

Troubleshooting Polish and Wafer Heads
Variable
Speed
Inverter
Each pair of wafer carrier and polish head motors is driven by a Toshiba VF-SX Variable Speed Inverter.
For a more detailed description of the inverter touchpad functions, refer to the Toshiba VF-SX Digital
Inverter Operator Manual that can be requested from SpeedFam-IPEC Customer Service.
To troubleshoot head drive problems, use a functional planarizer as a working standard for comparing
digital readouts and voltage/resistance readings to pinpoint problem areas. When encountering
suspected drive problems, make sure that the 2 breakers below the inverter are on. Snap-off the inverter
lower cover. If neither motor is turning, make sure line voltage is (208 VAC) at the R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3
terminals on the lower terminal strip of the inverter. See Figure 11-2.

Connection If only the polish head is turning, or only the wafer head operates, then suspect problems in that head’s
s
gearbox, since both heads operate from the same voltage source
.
From terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3, trace drive voltages through the Harting connectors, and at the
junction box next to the motor. Proper voltages at these locations point to a bad motor or frozen drive.

Look at the analog 0-10 DC voltage at the RR terminal below the keypad. This is the control voltage from
the spindle speed I/O channel. If there is no signal when the motor speed is entered onto the Tool screen,
then there is a problem in the planarizer computer, MisticÆ bricks, or cabling.
To isolate control problems from drive problems, start the drive from the touchpad by following the
procedure in Table 11-2 on page 11-23.

Full Scale Output on Polish Pressure Regulator
Overview
A full scale output will take place as the PID tries to increase the I/P, E/P command to reach the target
pressure. If the feedback (Pressure Transducer) is not operating properly, the measured pressure is not
observed to change, so the PID will output full scale to the I/P, E/P.
Connection Look at the connections to the Polish P/I Transducer. Make sure the Polish P/I Transducer is supplying
s
pressure feedback. Do the “Delta-P Polish Test” on page 12-107.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Wafer Loss During Pressure Ramp-Up
Overview
Loss of a wafer during pressure ramp-up is the result of the interaction of the Polish I/P, E/P and the PID
controller trying to track a reference ramp that has changed too quickly to be tracked smoothly. As the
reference pressure and the measured pressure increases, the I/P, E/P valve opens fully causing a large
pressure surge until the target pressure is reached and is then closed off. A large change in the Polish
Pressure rate, from slow to very fast, then back to very slow, may result making the Delta-P controller
unable to track the pressure. The impact on the Delta-P controller drops the Delta-P measurement to 0
psi.
Decrease
Examine the Inside Diameter (ID) hoses used to pressurize the Polish Bell. Make sure the hoses are
Polish Rate connected correctly. Decrease the Polish pressure rate from 0.5 psi/sec to 0.25 psi/sec. Do the “Delta-P
Polish Test” on page 12-107.

If the problem still exists, swap the failed computer cable connection at the ServSwitch with
a working channel (i.e. If Ch2 failed and Ch3 worked, swap Ch2 and Ch3). Reboot the
failed computer.
5
If swapping the cables fixed the problem on the failed computer but caused a loss of
operation on the swapped and previously working computer, the ServSwitch has a bad
channel regardless of which computer is connected. Replace the ServSwitch and make
sure configuration parameters operation.
6
If the problem moved with the cable, replace the cable. If the problem is keyboard related,
replace the keyboard adapter cable first. Reboot the computer after fixing the problem to
allow for detection.
7
If the problem still exists, it is “most likely” in the computer (H/W or S/W drivers). Computer
replacement is probably the best solution. To be 100% sure that the failure is caused by the
computer and not by the ServSwitch system or wiring, connect a test monitor, keyboard and
mouse directly to that suspect computer and reboot, the problem should still exist.

Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance Preparation
Introduction The Tool must be prepared for maintenance before service access and manual control of the Tool
systems. Most service tasks require access to components and areas protected by safety interlocks. The
interlocks must be disabled, and all necessary access doors opened before doing any maintenance tasks.
Procedure
Step
Instruction
1
Make sure the Tool is idle, has finished its last wafer batch, all process wafers are
removed from Tool, and that permission (scheduled or otherwise) for the maintenance
activity has been given.
2
Open all access doors and remove exterior panels as required. Position the bypass key
switch to ON, if so equipped, before opening the doors.
Init.
WARNING - KEEP AWAY FROM THE DOWNWARD PATH OF THE WAFER HEAD. AFTER THE
INTERLOCK SWITCHES ARE BYPASSED, THE TOOL WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE WITH ACCESS DOORS
OPEN! THE SHIELD INTERLOCK IS THE LAST SAFETY DEVICE WHICH PROTECTS PERSONNEL FROM
POSSIBLE HAZARDS RELATING TO MOVEMENT OF THE POLISH AND WAFER HEADS. THE HEADS ARE
CAPABLE OF EXERTING EXTREME AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL FORCE.
3
06/25/1999
Bypass the interlock switch (for each access door opened) by pulling the switch out
(toward you) fully. The Tool is now ready to be manually operated and serviced, and can
be accessed (in necessary areas) without stopping the Tool due to an interlock violation.
