Obsolete chip warning: KLA Tencor tools

OWNERS OF KLA TENCOR SURFSCAN 6.xxx SERIES MODELS, ALPHASTEP 500 AND P-SERIES PROFILERS WITH "MAXIM DALLAS CHIPS" IN YOUR SYSTEMS...

You might be in serious trouble!

The security chip was designed to configure the system functions and options. All the tools capabilities are stored on the chip and backed up with an internal battery located in the chip.

The battery is at"end of life" and many systems will be experiencing a failure. Also, the chip is obsolete!

The error messages will look like this on the screen:

  • Error 1 (screenshot)
  • Error 2 (screenshot)

The problem will not be evident to the user till the tool is powered down, not rebooted and will not come up. By that time, it is too late to use a low cost solution.

Fortunately, Brumley South has the answer through unique engineering. We can provide a low cost solution to extend the life of your KLA/Tencor tool.

Remember, when doesn't work it is too late!

Please, contact us for further details.
