STM-100/MF Thickness Monitor

The Model STM-100/MF Thickness/Rate Monitor from Sycon Instruments, Inc. is a precision mass and film thickness measurement instrument for use in thin film deposition processes and other quartz crystal microbalance applications. The STM-100/MF has proven very tough and reliable. Thousands of durable units are providing stable monitoring of depositions. Easy to setup and use, the STM-100/MF has a history that makes it the one to have for deposition monitoring.

SQM-160 Thin Film Deposition Monitor

The SQM-160 uses proven INFICON quartz crystal sensor technology to measure rate and thickness in thin film deposition processes. Two sensor inputs are standard and four additional sensor inputs are optional. Two recorder outputs provide analog rate and thickness signals. Sensor inputs can be assigned to different materials, averaged for accurate deposition control in large systems, or configured for a dual sensor. The rate sampling mode allows a shuttered sensor to extend sensor life in high rate processes. Rate displays of 0.1Å/s or 0.01Å/s are user selectable. In addition, Frequency or Mass displays can be selected. Four relay outputs allow the SQM-160 to control source or sensor shutters, signal time and thickness setpoints, and signal crystal failure. Digital inputs allow external signals to start/stop and zero readings.

STM-2XM 2-Channel Rate/Thickness Monitor

STM-2XM is a two channel rate/thickness monitor that combines high accuracy with flexible programming and easy operation at an affordable price. STM-2XM is equipped with five operation modes to accommodate processes from simple to complex. For example, use simple mode to monitor just one single sensor for the simplest process or use alloy mode for codeposition monitoring. Independent mode allows STM-2XM to function as two completely separate monitors. Two sensor inputs allow for the use of two single or one dual quartz crystal sensor. 10 measurements are taken per second while achieving a resolution of 0.037 Å per measurement (density of 1).

STM-2 USB Thin Film Rate/Thickness Monitor

STM-2 combines the simplicity of USB connectivity with the accuracy of a precision measurement engine, all in a compact, inexpensive package. The size and simplicity of STM-2 help make setup and operation easy and efficient. SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE STM-2 is the most accurate USB powered thin film monitor in the industry. Ten measurements are taken per second while achieving a resolution of 0.037 Å per measurement (density of 1). EASY AND FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION STM-2 comes with everything you need to connect your QCM sensor/feedthrough to a Windows® PC. Simply connect the included BNC cable from the feedthrough to STM-2, then connect the STM-2 to your PC using a standard mini USB cable (included). No external oscillator or power supply is required. STM-2 features an internal oscillator that allows for simple and cost effective installation when STM-2 is located within 1 m (40 in.) of the quartz crystal. A standard INFICON® oscillator kit can be used for applications where STM-2 must be located farther away from the feedthrough. STM-2 SOFTWARE STM-2 includes LabVIEW® software, capable of simple operation and data logging. Windows software is also included for operation and data logging of up to eight STM-2s simultaneously (each STM-2 requires a powered USB port). Please Note: The SMDP Server needs to be installed for the STM-2 Windows Application Software or the STM-2 LabVIEW Application Software to function properly.
