== Change of showerhead in December 2014 ==
The showerhead that distributes the process gasses inside the plasma source has been changed. With the new design the gas flow resistance in the gas line from MFC to plasma has been reduced. This has very little or no impact on processes that have a continuous gas flow - i.e. processes that are not switched. However, for processes with several gas flows that switch on and off, the switching from one gas flow to another will be much more well defined. This enables us to run Bosch processes with shorter cycles times. Shorter cycles times means smaller scallops and hence lower roughness and better control.
As stated, we believe that only switched processes will be affected by this change. Continuous processes such as [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/DRIE-Pegasus/processC|Process C]], [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/DRIE-Pegasus/nanoetch/nano142|Nano1.42]], isotropic etches, barc etches or the black silicon recipes are not believed to be noticeably affected.

'''Acceptance test'''
The instrument was opened for users in April 2010 when the acceptance test was signed. This was based on the performance of five standard recipes (A, B, C, D and SOI) that are further examined below. The acceptance test report is found [[Media:Pegasus_AcceptanceTest.pdf|here]].
