. Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance Result 1

Acceptance Result 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
  • SiO2

The purpose of the SiO2 is to be part of a mirror: <br\> 5 quarterwavelength pairs of <br\> SiO2 <br\> TiO2 <br\> Extra quarterwavelength layer of <br\> TiO2 <br\> 5 quarterwavelength pairs of <br\> SiO2 <br\> TiO2 <br\> Design wavelength (for refractive indices and layer thicknesses): 1300nm <br\> The acceptance criteria is set up for the single SiO2 and TiO2 layers. <br\> Five runs in a row for each material.
