SECTION 3.13 Film Phases and Parameter Groups
There are several phases during a deposition layer of the STC-2000A related to the source and
deposition rate control. There are three main parts to a deposition layer. These are pre-deposition,
deposition control, and post-deposition. The pre-deposition parameters control the source and material
conditioning prior to the film deposition. The STC-2000A can control a variety of different types of
deposition sources. The typical run cycle shown in Figure 3.15 is for an E-B or thermal source.

Table 3.1 which follows provides a list of phases and their associated parameters for all phases of
the deposition. There are also several film parameters which relate to the deposition material and sensor
calibration . Among these are DENSITY, Z FACTOR and TOOLING. A detailed description of each film
and map parameter is given in section 3.5. Indexing, if used, follows XTAL verify and precedes Rise 1.
