IQS-233 Operating Manual

When the desired thickness is reached, the evaporation source is set to feed or idle
power. At this point the process may be complete, or deposition of another film
layer may begin. Up to six separate films can be codeposited within a single layer.
There is no practical limit to the total number of processes, layers, or materials that
can be stored in the process database.
