Introduction and Specifications

1.1 Introduction

STM-2XM rate and thickness monitor (see

Figure 1-1

) will manage single sensor

processes as well as codeposition and alloy processes through five modes of
operation:

Simple mode (single film mode)

Backup mode (crystal switching)

Averaging mode

Alloy mode

Independent mode

Independent mode allows STM-2XM to function as two completely separate
monitors with shutter delay. To extend crystal life for thicker films, the Alloy mode
provides a linked shutter delay.

Time/Power allows films to complete even with a crystal failure. STM-2XM displays
accumulated film mass or thickness and can also display a graph of rate, thickness,
or rate deviation.

STM-2XM has eight programmable digital inputs, eight programmable digital
outputs, and four analog outputs.
