摘要
A simple instrument for automatically controlling the deposition rate of an electron-beam evaporator is described. The design incorporates a commercially available, microprocessor based, proportional-integral-differential process controller that provides loop control and automatic determination of optimal proportional, integral, and differential loop constants. A logarithmic amplifier is used to linearize the overall loop response. The controller is used in conjunction with a compact electron-beam heated evaporator.
