Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The SQM-242 Card is a powerful thin film deposition controller on a PCI card.
Significant features include:

Measure four 1 MHz to 10 MHz quartz crystal sensors simultaneously.

Controls two deposition source supplies simultaneously (co-deposition).

Install multiple cards for up to 24 sensors and 12 control outputs.

Measure four +/- 10 V analog inputs with optional (SAM-242) piggyback card.

Installs in any PC running Windows

®

98/2000/ME/XP/7-32-bit with a vacant

PCI slot.

Interfaces to your program with Windows DLL and ActiveX

The sample software included with SQM-242 card allows you to:

Co-deposit up to six materials, using up to eight sensors.

Use analog inputs to control heaters, gas flow, and other process variables.

Use outputs for recording rate, thickness, power, or voltage.

Save film setup parameters and deposition data to disk.

Simulate deposition for developing and testing film setups.
