Etching & depositionMVP
Deposition process time
Estimate the time to reach a target thickness at a given deposition rate.
Inputs
Result
Enter values and calculate to see the result.
Interpretation
Enter a target thickness and a deposition rate.
Formula
time = thickness / rate
Constant-rate estimate.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| time | Process time | s (shown as min) |
| thickness | Target thickness | m |
| rate | Deposition rate | m/s |
Assumptions & validity
This tool assumes:
- Constant deposition rate for the whole run.
- No nucleation delay, drift, or margin included.
Worked example
thickness = 100 nm, rate = 50 nm/min.
time = 100 nm / 50 nm/min = 2 min
