SQC-310 Operating Manual

Descriptions of each System Parameter follows:

Period: Sets the measurement period between 0.1 second (10 readings per
second) and 1 second. A longer period gives higher reading accuracy, especially
in low rate and low density applications.

Simulate Mode: Normal mode uses the quartz crystals as inputs to the SQC-310
for PID calculations and source output control. Simulate mode simulates the quartz
crystals based on the crystal frequency min/max. Simulate mode is useful for
debugging process recipes but does not accurately mimic actual process control
performance.

System Tooling: Adjusts for overall sensor deposition rates that differ from the
measured substrate deposition rate.

Min/Max Frequency: The frequency values for the quartz crystal sensors used as
inputs to the SQC-310. The maximum frequency should be set to the frequency of
a new crystal, typically 6 MHz. Sensor readings outside the min/max values cause
an error.

Dev Graph Limit: Sets the upper limit for the Rate Deviation graph Y-axis.
