Height Conversion for Older Recipes

Old recipes using the manual Height setting in millimeters can be converted to the new programmatic settings in inches as follows:

Old (mm) New (inches) Typical Gun Tilt (mm)
15
25 0.82 9
44 1.52 4

SiOxNy deposition (IBD)

These are some old (2010), initial characterizations only. A recipe improvement would be to increase the Assist O2+N2 = 60sccm total, increasing repeatability. Contact Demis for more info.
