Ramp 1: During the deposition of a layer, it may be desirable to change the deposition
rate. For example, you may want to deposit slowly at first, then increase the rate once
an initial thickness is reached. Enabling rate ramps provides that capability. Once
enabled, these parameters are added to the list.
Start Thickness: The deposited thickness at which the new rate will begin.
Ramp Time: Time allowed for the rate to change from initial rate to new rate.
New Rate: The rate of deposition, which is reached at the end of Ramp 1.
Ramp 2: Two rate ramps are available for each layer. The start thickness for Ramp 2
should be greater than the start thickness for Ramp 1.
