Optical Monitoring & Control

An integrated package that can be used with many of our PVD platforms makes optical monitoring and controlling a seamless process.

From recipe creation, to the final production of the film, this package provides complete and simple control of your optical films.  30 witness discs are stored in an automatic chip changer for constant data feedback, and you can confirm your films with a PC controlled monochromator that can generate 350-2500 nanometer wavelengths.

A powerful tool that unifies all aspects of optical monitoring and deposition control.

alt = close up of an ion source. It is metallic with a variety of parts such as a cylindrical chamber and connectors. There is bright light illuminating part of the ion source. This highlights the detail and thorough engineering Angstrom Engineering does for their systems.

Every component necessary for optical perfection —

  • System and software work in concert with The Essential Macleod software bundle
  • End Hall Ion sourceTransmittance mode optical receiver with chip changer
  • Optical transmitter with a monochromator
  • Reflectance mode optical receiver
  • Hollow cathode electron source
  • All source and stage options

Advanced Process Control Software

  • PC/PLC-controlled recipes for single, batch, or automated processes.
  • Advanced data logging and process tracking ensure consistent and repeatable processes.
  • High-resolution control provides impressive low-rate stability and consistent doping ratios.
  • The central control station manages each module and schedules the processes in each chamber.
  • Independent control of multiple chambers (if applicable).
  • Complex recipes can be created and modified easily.
  • Automatic PID control loop tuning significantly reduces process development time.

The software is showing a detailed dashboard with charts, graphs, and data for monitoring and controlling thin film deposition processes. The layout has side navigation with equipment status icons and a central graph with real-time data. The interface is designed for precise control and analysis in advanced engineering applications for Angstrom Engineering’s systems.
