PROCESS REPLAY LAB / SA-PROC-001

Thin-film deposition.
Compare the evidence cards.

This lab is a process-safe launch surface for the three public teaching simulations. It uses precomputed data and source notes only; no recipe execution or facility workflow is active.

RUN ONE QUESTION

Pick the process mechanism first.

For process education, the first job is not to expose a recipe. It is to keep geometry, saturation, method, limitation, and source notes attached to the claim.

Process / live-precomputed

Sputter deposition thickness uniformity

Replay radial film-thickness profiles to see why rotation, source shape, pressure regime, and geometry matter before a sputter recipe is trusted.

+/-3.97% / 7.7 nm / 100 nm / 2 radial profiles

Open simulation ->
Process / live-precomputed

Thermal and e-beam evaporation line-of-sight

Compare long-throw and short-throw evaporation profiles, then separate open-field uniformity from sidewall shadowing.

2.1 nm / 100 nm / 11.1 nm / 100 nm / sidewall factor 0.18

Open simulation ->
Process / live-precomputed

ALD growth-per-cycle saturation

Replay dose saturation, 100-cycle thickness arithmetic, temperature-window framing, and aspect-ratio conformality warnings.

0.11 nm/cycle / 11.0 nm / 2 s

Open simulation ->
Process / live-precomputed

Sputter/PVD step coverage and continuity

Replay feature aspect ratio and scattering proxy to see why PVD coverage is not just blanket thickness.

62.057 / AR 0.5 / pressure proxy 10 / 15 cases

MODEL BOUNDARY

Good process teaching starts by refusing false precision.

The public replay is designed for intuition and paper figures. It is not a tool recipe, process qualification, or wafer-fab instruction.
