Abstract

See full text

A system and method for feedforward control in thin film coating processes. A standard PID feedback control system that continuously monitors two or more process variables in a reactive sputtering process is combined with a feedforward control system to improve system performance. The control system enables much faster stabilization of the reactive sputtering process during target start-up, and improves control of the process once a steady-state operating condition has been reached following target start-up.
