Abstract: A plurality of tool identifiers, a plurality of information types, and a plurality of report types are displayed in a first user interface of a tool health reporting system. A user selection of a distinct report type from the plurality of report types, a distinct information type from the plurality of information types, and a distinct tool identifier from the plurality of tool identifiers are received. A report is displayed in a second user interface of the tool health reporting system, the report including data associated with the distinct information type, the distinct report type and the distinct tool identifier, wherein the report correlates equipment based measurement data to product level measurement data.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for preconditioning surfaces of a tungsten silicide deposition chamber, after a previous step of cleaning the chamber, and prior to depositing tungsten silicide on active substrates in the chamber, which first comprises treating the chamber surfaces with a gaseous silicon source, such as silane, and a tungsten-bearing gas, such as WF.sub.6, to form a first deposition of a silane-based tungsten silicide on the chamber surfaces. In a preferred embodiment, the preconditioning process further comprises subsequently treating the already coated chamber surfaces in a second step with a mixture of a tungsten-bearing gas, such as WF.sub.6, and a chlorine-substituted silane such as dichlorosilane (SiH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2), monochlorosilane (SiH.sub.3 Cl), or trichlorosilane (SiHCl.sub.
