STM-2XM Operating Manual

Temporal Average . . . . . . . . . . . . . Number of measurement samples to

average as the effective rate. More samples
yield a more accurate rate, however, rate and
thickness will not update as quickly at higher
sampling rates.

The effective frequency accuracy is 0.03 Hz
per measurement divided by the square root
of the number of temporal average samples.

Good Rate Tolerance(%) . . . . . . . . Set as a percentage of rate deviation. When

set for good rate, a relay will activate only
within tolerance, when the good rate
condition is true.

For example, if Good Rate Tolerance is set to
10% and the target rate is set to 10 Å/s, when
the rate is between 9 and 11 Å/s (10%), the
good rate relay would be active.

NOTE: A relay must be programmed to use

this feature.

3.2.1.2 System Settings

Operational Mode. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sets STM-2XM mode of operation (see

section 3.3, STM-2XM Operating Modes, on
page 3-17

). (See

Table 3-1

.)

Description

Notes

Simple X1

Single film, single sensor

Sensor 1 active only. Analog/shutter outputs
selected by changing active source.

Simple X2

Single film, single sensor

Sensor 2 active only. Analog/shutter outputs
selected by changing active source.

Backup

Single film, dual sensors

Crystal switching mode.

Averaging

Single film, two sensors spatially
averaged

Used for large chambers or systems with a
moving substrate.

Alloy

Two films codeposited

Codeposition of two materials onto a
substrate at the same time.

Independent

Two films cluster deposition

Allows STM-2XM to be used as two separate
instruments. Recommended for cluster tools
and research systems.
