ProCeSs HoLd
on the 7,8&9 august is our process hold days. since i joined 1st silicon, this is the first time that we have a 3 days process hold. the first 2 days is mainly for our Facility works.
most of us came in very early in the morning of 7-aug. Alex came in at 6am. i just wake up at 6am.. haha.. Alvin called me at that time for breakfast. i didnt go. i took a shower and prepare for the hectic day ahead. arrive at company at 6.45am... then start the process hold final preparation before the wisel 'go'.
first activity to start off is the exhaust activities. then i start mine at around 9.15am. i changed all the FMCS and GDS PLC sync modules. when doing this, face some panic moments where the PLC cannot startup after powered down. but manage to startup in the end. during the work, there are too many 'helpers' around.. all my guys surrounding me like i'm giving practical training to them. they asked questions, and i think it's a good experience for everyone. however too many helping hands until i also confuse sometimes.. then even worse, in the middle of having some problem myself, this master Wong (David) come to me for help on his activity down at the UPW/WWT control room. i'm not able to help him as the cable that he needs is not with me and i dont have any idea where it is.. however, it interrupted my activity and concerntration already.. wtf.. sorry David.
basically, i manage to complete all my activities in time except the GDS PLC static UPS changeout. we took 1 hour more to complete.. but provided we started 0.5 hours late due to other activities.. so much pressure when doing the changeout. people cant go into the Fab/Subfab due to this activity. so, they are waiting for me to finish only they can proceed with their planned activity... i was under tremendous pressure... shit.. i almost burst.. haha.. luckily got pressure relief valve.. haha...
first day i went back at 11pm.. for others, some go earlier, some later, some even didnt go back.. just like our mr.Phui.. sleep at the workplace.. hmm... sleeping at work.. should we get him fired?? haha.... absolutely not.. he sacrifices a lot for the company.. end of 2nd day, he told me that 2 days he didnt bath and didnt see his sons... i salute him for this.. but i think he should take a break.
well, 2nd day went busy as well.. exhaust continues to have problems. actuators laa.. damper laa.. bearing laa.. vibrations laa.. etc.. NgMC is up there helping out Patrick fulltime. i was up there helping to supervise and coordinating on the techs.. that's what i think i did laa.. others may think that i'm kepoh up there.. nevermind, wtf then...
my last activity was on the PWB regulating valve replacement. manage to do it with the super help of Ah Hua, Harni and Kueh.. for this activity, some setback for me comes from the people up at the 3rd floor (exhaust). we actually sharing the cda manifold key that i took for my activity at that time. we are actually almost finish with it when there is a call to my hp saying that they need the key. i told him that we need a bit longer. and you know what is the response i got??? "we need to up the exhaust.. production is chasing for us.." wtf!! this really pissed me off.. production will only start the next day.. and he is threatening me using this excuse??? i didnt talk to him further as i think no point to argue. i understand he is in pressure to up the system as scheduled and so do i.. u have ur difficulty, i have my own as well.. he shouldnt have threaten me like that.. well, let bygone be bygone... i didnt loose anything, we manage to finish our work also.. 2nd day, i went back a bit early at 10pm.
3rd day was the day where production is starting up all the tools. acid exhaust still have problem.. so do PCW#4. but in the end of the day, everything went ok.. with problems here and there which are manageable...
so, here you go.. our process hold summary.. haha.. i only summarize our section's activities. for UHPW, i dont know.. i heard some problem with their network cables.. maybe due to someone from the underworld.. you know, on 8-aug is actually the 15th day of month seven in the chinese calendar.. which is the "hungry ghost day"... luckily i didnt see any ghosts on that day.. haha...
that's all then...
