Many apologies, but it looks like the nanobuilding tie in is taking much
longer than expected. The crew is working on restarting systems in the
Paul Allen/X Buildings right now and expects to be done in an hour. It
will then take a couple or a few hours for the temperature to come back
into normal range -- since it is an automated building control system,
this should start controlling as soon there is steam/heating water
available.
Most of the lab operations are unaffected -- people have been using the
Raith and ASML and other tools without problem. However, resist coating
problems have been reported (not spreading), because of the cold -
something we didn't anticipate.
The crew will confirm when tie in is complete and I've been assured that
Facilities will be monitoring the situation. . I'll post an update if
things change, but otherwise the building crews seem to believe we
should be OK shortly.
