Introduction and Specifications
1.1 Introduction
STM-2XM rate and thickness monitor (see
) 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.
