. Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance Results recipe 1

Acceptance Results recipe 2
Substrate information
  • 50 mm SSP Si wafer
  • 525 µm thick
  • Supplied by Danchip
  • 100 mm SSP Si wafer
  • 525+-25 µm thick
  • 100 mm SSP Si wafer
  • 525+-25 µm thick
Material to be deposited
  • TiO2

The purpose of the TiO2 is to be part of a mirror: 5 quarterwavelength pairs of SiO2 TiO2 Extra quarterwavelength layer of TiO2 5 quarterwavelength pairs of SiO2 TiO2 Design wavelength (for refractive indices and layer thicknesses): 1300nm The acceptance criteria is set up for the single SiO2 and TiO2 layers.
