QPM60-6C - Thin film thickness and rate controller
6 Channel Thin Film Monitor
QPM60 - Quartz
Process Monitor

The QPM60 multi channel thin film monitor is used to measure rate and thickness in thin film deposition processes. The touch screen display allows for intuitive operation and provides time charts for detailed process control.
Six sensor input channel are available and feature a high resolution measurement of 0.01 Hz at up to 10 Hz sampling rate.
Stability and control
Six analog outputs allow rate and thickness recording or can be assigned to control manual power with any deposition units. Sensor inputs can be assigned to different materials, configured for dual sensors or averaged using individual weights. Four relay outputs allow the QPM60 to control source or sensor shutters, trigger time and thickness setpoints, and signal crystal failure. Digital inputs allow external signals to start/stop the layer and zero readings.
