SAFETY PRECAUTION AND PREPARATION FOR USE

Input Power Requirements

The MDC-360C Deposition Controller can be set to operate one of the following
line voltages: 100, 120, 200, or 240 VAC at line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
Maximum power consumption is 25 watts. See Section 8.3.2 for instruction on
selecting line voltage.

Power Entry Module

The AC (alternating current) power entry module, located in the rear panel of the
MDC-360C, provides connection to the power source and a protective ground. It
also holds the fuses and the voltage selection wheel.

Power Cord

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, always connect the power cord to an
AC outlet which has a proper protective ground.

The MDC-360C comes with a detachable, three-wire power cord for connection
to a power source with protective ground.

The MDC-360C chassis is connected to the power ground to protect against
electrical shock. Always connect to an AC outlet which has a properly connected
protective ground. If necessary, or when in doubt, consult a certified electrician.

Grounding

A grounding lug is located on the rear panel, near the power entry module. Use
heavy ground wire, wire braid, or copper strap of #12 AWG or larger to connect
this grounding lug directly to a facility protective earth ground to provide
additional protection against electrical shock. Refer to Section 8.2 and Figure
8-11 for details.

Line Fuses

There are two 5 x 20 mm fuses mounted inside the power entry module. They are
accessible via the snap-in cover. Replace with the correct fuse rating: IEC T Type
(Slow), 4/10 A, 250 VAC. Refer to Section 8.3.2 for instruction to replace the
fuse.

Power Switch

WARNING: Do NOT use the power switch as a disconnecting device;
disconnect the power cord from the power entry module to fully remove
hazardous voltage from inside the MDC-360C.

The power switch is located on the front lower left of the MDC-360C. Toggle the
switch to

when the LCD and all of the LEDs are off. However, turning the power switch
off does not fully remove the AC power from inside the unit. Always disconnect
the power cord from the power entry module to fully remove AC power from
inside the unit.

MDC-360C DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 PURPOSE

The MDC-360C is a full-featured deposition controller which can provide
automatic control of single or multi-layer film deposition in either a production or
development environment. The MDC-360C will improved predictability and
repeatability of deposited film characteristics through dependable digital control
and multi-sensor averaging.

The MDC-360C makes programming and operation easy with large LED displays
for important run-time values, a graphic LCD display for graphs of rate, rate
deviation, thickness and deposit power, an easy to use menu-driven user interface
providing unparalleled access to plain English programming of processes,
materials, inputs and outputs.

1.2 FEATURES

The MDC-360C incorporates numerous features which are economically
justifiable as a result of rapid advances in semiconductor technology and the
advent of low cost microprocessors.

1.2.1 MULTI-CRYSTAL AVERAGING

The MDC-360C provides greater accuracy in thin film deposition by averaging up
to six sensors distributed throughout the chamber to account for changes in vapor
distribution during deposition.

1.2.2 EXTENSIVE PROGRAM STORAGE

The MDC-360C is capable of storing up to 99 processes, 999 layer definitions and
32 complete material definitions. Once a program is entered it will be maintained
in memory for a minimum of 5 years without external power.

1.2.3 DYNAMIC MEASUREMENT UPDATE RATE

Measurement is dynamically adjusted from 0.5 to 10 Hz for optimum resolution
and control.

1.2.4 SUPERIOR COLOR GRAPHICS DISPLAY

The MDC-360C features a 240x64 pixel color LCD graphics display allowing
real time graphing of important process information such as rate, rate deviation,
thickness and power.

1.2.5 PROGRAM SECURITY

To assure the integrity of stored programs, the MDC-360C incorporates edit
passwords to guard against unauthorized program changes.

1.2.6 DESIGNED FOR UNATTENDED OPERATION

The MDC-360C has been designed for truly automatic operation and toward this
end incorporates extensive internal monitoring and overriding abort circuitry to

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1-1

MDC-360C DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

minimize the possibility of damage in the event of a failure or other problem in
the total deposition system. In addition there are attention, alert and alarm signals
with adjustable volume for trouble and routine operator call.

1.2.7 FAIL SAFE ABORTS

In the event of an MDC-360C failure, as evidenced by unsatisfactory internal
checks, the MDC-360C will abort the process and shut off all outputs. In addition
to the internal checks, the MDC-360C also provides user enabled aborts on
excessive rate control error or crystal failure.

1.2.8 ABORT STATUS RETENTION

In the event that the MDC-360C does abort during the deposition process,
pertinent information is stored at the time of abort. More importantly, the process
can be easily resumed once the problem is corrected without re-programming.

1.2.9 RUN COMPLETION ON CRYSTAL FAILURE

The extensive monitoring and abort functions are designed to protect the system
and/or process from serious and hopefully infrequent malfunctions of the
deposition system. A condition which need not cause an abort is the condition of
crystal failure. The MDC-360C can be set to abort upon crystal failure or run to
completion using a backup crystal or time/power method.

1.2.10 POWERFUL SYSTEM INTERFACE

Fully programmable discrete inputs and outputs permit the MDC-360C to be
easily interfaced into deposition systems controlling the most complex processes.
Also, source control outputs are fully isolated avoiding ground loop problems.
The MDC-360C also supports input from an optical monitor for optical
termination of film thickness.

1.2.11 POWER SUPPLY NOISE TOLERANCE

Integral RFI filter and large energy storage capacitors will tolerate high levels of
power supply noise and power interruptions of 700 ms or less without effect.

1.2.12 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD POWER CONNECTOR

The power connector is internationally approved and meets IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) standards. It allows selection of input power
voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz and includes
an integral RFI filter.

1.2.13 FIELD UPGRADABLE

Plug-in interface boards and option boards allow the basic unit to be upgraded in
the field to the maximum system level.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1-7

MDC-360C DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

2. FRONT PANEL DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS

The front panel is divided into two sections, the operating section and the
programming section. The left half of the panel is devoted to the operating
displays and controls. The right half is used for programming, viewing stored
processes, and displaying the status of the selected process.

2.1 OPERATING DISPLAYS

All of the operating displays are updated ten times per second unless the
controller is in the Abort mode. When in the Abort mode, the values of the
operating displays are held constant so the operator will know the values at the
time of the Abort. The controller will also flash the operating displays while in
Abort to alert the operator.

Figure 2-1 Operating Display

2.1.1 RATE

A three digit display with a floating decimal point is used to display deposition
rate in angstroms per second at a resolution of 0.1 Å/sec from 0 to 99.9 Å/sec, and
a resolution of 1.0 Å/sec for rates from 100 to 999 Å/sec.

2.1.2 POWER

A three digit display with a fixed decimal point displays percent of maximum
power with a resolution of 0.1% from 0 to 99.9%. This corresponds to the control
voltage range of 0 to 9.99 volts.

2.1.3 THICKNESS

Four digits with an autoranging decimal point display measured thickness in KÅ
with a resolution of 1 Å from 0 to 9.999 KÅ, a resolution of 10 Å from 10.00 KÅ
to 99.99 KÅ and a resolution of 100 Å from 100.0 KÅ to 999.9 KÅ.

2.1.4 LAYER NUMBER

Three digits display the layer number of the current process.

2.1.5 CRYSTAL HEALTH %

A two-digit display is used to show the health percentage of the active
sensor/crystal. If multiple sensors/crystals are active then the crystal with the
lowest health will be displayed. A fresh crystal starts out with a health of 99%.

2.1.6 TIME DISPLAY

Time is displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. This display can be configured
to show the estimated time to go for the state or layer or the elapsed process, layer
or state times.

2.2 PARAMETER/STATUS DISPLAYS

A graphics display labeled Parameter/Status is used for process programming and
controller setup as well as displaying run-time status and data graphing. The
operator can switch between programming screens and status screens by pressing
the Program and Status keys on the front panel. Upon power up, the
Parameter/Status display automatically reverts to the last viewed status screen.
Detail descriptions of the different programming and status screens can be found
in Section 4 and 5.

Displays the current
process name.

Figure 2-2 Parameter/Status Display

2.3 OPERATING CONTROLS

Normal operation of the MDC-360C is controlled by eight operating keys,
Manual, Start, Abort, Reset, Zero, Shutter, Status, and Graph. Except for the
Zero, Status, and Graph keys, each of the other keys is equipped with an LED to
indicate the controller’s status.

2.3.1 MANUAL KEY

This key is used to toggle the MDC-360C Manual mode on and off. A red light
behind this key indicates the controller is in manual power control mode. This
mode may be selected at any time providing that the controller is not in Abort
mode. The Manual mode indicates that the source control voltage output for the
active source is being controlled through the Remote Power Handset. (The active
source is set by the active material's Source parameter).

Displays the current
material name.

Sample Cr Process Ready
10 Rate

0 1

Displays the
controller modes,

Displays the time
axis scale factor

In the Manual mode the control voltage remains constant unless incremented up
or down by means of the Remote Power Handset. At entry into the Manual mode,
the power is left at the last value prior to entry and is thereafter modified only
through the Remote Power Handset. Exit from the manual mode is accomplished
by means of the Manual or Reset key.

FRONT PANEL DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS 2-2

MDC-360C DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

The MDC-360C can also be aborted through the Remote Power Handset. This
abort feature is active whether or not MDC-360C is in the manual mode.

2.3.2 START KEY

The Start key starts a process, starts a layer, or resumes an aborted process. A
green light behind this key indicates the controller is in process. When this key is
pressed the first time a list of stored processes is displayed in the Parameter/Status
window. You simply scroll the cursor on to the desired process and press Start
again to start the process.

2.3.3 ABORT KEY

The Abort key drives the MDC-360C into the Abort mode. All source powers are
set to zero and discrete outputs are set to inactive state. A red light behind this
key indicates the controller is in the abort mode.

2.3.4 RESET KEY

The Reset key is used to clear the controller from Abort mode and put it into the
Ready mode. A yellow light behind this key indicates a Ready mode. The Reset
key is inactive during the In Process mode so that a premature exit from the In
Process mode requires an abort.

CAUTION: Once a process is reset, it cannot be resumed. Consequently, don't
reset an aborted process if you want to resume it once the problem is cleared.

2.3.5 ZERO KEY

Pressing the Zero key causes the thickness display to go to zero. This key is
active at all times and if pressed during the deposit state will result in a film
thicker than that desired by an amount equal to the thickness displayed at the time
the display was zeroed.

2.3.6 SHUTTER KEY

This key is used to manually open and close all source shutters. The red light is
illuminated when the active source shutter relay is closed. This key is only active
when the controller is in the Process Ready mode.

2.3.7 STATUS KEY

Pressing the Status key will bring up one of the two run-time status screens.
Repeatedly pressing the key will cycle through the different status screens. Refer
to Section 5 for a detailed description of these status screens.

2.3.8 GRAPH KEY

Pressing the Graph key will bring up one of the four run-time graph screens.
Repeatedly pressing the key will cycle through the different graph screens. Refer
to Section 5 for a detailed description of these status screens.
