Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify the primary components of the e-beam evaporation system, such as the material pockets, wafer holder, and thickness monitor, and explain their roles in the deposition process.
Students will be able to demonstrate the step-by-step procedure for preparing the e-beam evaporator for deposition, including loading wafers and selecting target materials.
Students will be able to interpret real-time thickness monitoring data from the INFICON XTC/2 to assess the progress and completion of a material deposition.

Powered by SimGenie AI

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.
