SIMULATION / SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

Deposition process evidence atlas
Compare seven deposition families without collapsing their mechanisms or evidence boundaries.

Move across PVD, CVD and PECVD, ALD and PEALD, LPCVD and furnace chains, epitaxy, selective deposition, and electrochemical gap-fill using one bounded review surface. Each family preserves its own controls, normalized proxies, exact ledgers, source spine, role gates, and replacement-evidence questions.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Select one of seven deposition families before loading row data; the first view exposes only bounded metadata, row counts, source posture, rights boundary, and export contracts.
  • Hold seven categorical controls fixed, then compare eight ordered evidence states without treating the state index as time, thickness, cycles, charge, thermal history, or recipe progression.
  • Switch among each family's operator, engineering, integration, and yield views to expose which observations, models, interfaces, genealogy, denominators, and uncertainty records remain accountable.
  • Compare six normalized teaching proxies and three exact integer ledgers inside each family while keeping transport, reaction, surface, growth, strain, selectivity, and gap-fill mechanisms separate.
  • Use the source spines and replacement slots to plan owned physical models, measurements, equipment traces, material context, validation, and human review before any operational decision.

BROWSER DEPOSITION EVIDENCE ATLAS

Choose the deposition family before loading the evidence rows.

Compact metadata is present at first paint. The browser fetches one validated gzip CSV transport only after this explicit selection, verifies the restored canonical bytes, and discards them when the family changes.

No row data has been loaded.

Review the selected packet boundary, then load exactly one validated family gzip CSV. The browser verifies the restored canonical bytes; changing families discards the loaded rows, and raw CSV plus row-bearing JSON remain outside the website.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters one validated canonical CSV selected by the user after decompressing and verifying it. It does not solve a physical model, transfer source numbers, import measurements, infer causality, choose a precursor or material, recommend a recipe, operate equipment, qualify a process, or make a release decision.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Seven independently completed packets each enumerate 6,912 rows over 3,456 physical configurations and paired evidence postures, for 48,384 deterministic rows and 24,192 evidence pairs.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Each family keeps its own mechanism-context controls, normalized equations, eight-state regime map, four role gates, replacement-evidence bridge, and three exact integer teaching ledgers.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Independent no-import verifiers passed 16/16 for every family, source-scope locks passed 37/37 for every family, and deterministic replay parity was exact for all twenty-eight regenerated artifacts.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

One hundred forty link-only official or primary-source metadata anchors and one hundred twelve bounded claim nodes define terminology, rights, evidence ownership, and replacement questions without supplying generated numbers.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

The transport contract publishes seven deterministic gzip CSV transports plus twenty-eight compact-manifest, metric-contract, model-card, and source-spine artifacts while retaining raw canonical CSV and seven row-bearing JSON artifacts with canonical evidence only.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

All states, regimes, proxies, gates, and priority cues are original categorical or dimensionless teaching constructs, not physical deposition, transport, reaction, nucleation, growth, film, interface, gap-fill, equipment, metrology, reliability, or yield predictions.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

The twenty-one exact integer ledgers establish deterministic bookkeeping consistency only. They do not establish physical causality, calibration, material compatibility, uncertainty, model transfer, traceability, qualification, safety, or production fitness.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No source body, source number, equation, coefficient, chemistry, geometry, material property, process condition, recipe, equipment setting, measurement row, model parameter, result, specification, or named-tool output enters the generated data.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No equipment-control instruction is provided. The browser loads one selected-family deterministic gzip CSV only after explicit user action and verifies the restored canonical bytes. It cannot choose a precursor or material, recommend a process window, operate equipment, release material, sign off integration, dispose a wafer, claim yield, or publish automatically.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

Input audit passed 117/117 across seven packet-complete families, 48,384 rows, 24,192 physical configurations, 140 sources, 112 claim nodes, and thirty-five approved public assets.

SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

evidence note

All seven independent packet verifiers passed 16/16 and all seven source-scope locks passed 37/37; the preintegration verifier passed thirteen hashes and seven semantic gates.

SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

evidence note

Source reachability closed at 98 reachable and 42 access-gated records, with zero recorded hard or network failures in the packet audits.

SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

evidence note

The browser excludes 404,373,755 bytes of row-bearing JSON and 80,090,082 raw CSV bytes, then fetches one selected-family gzip transport only after explicit action; no all-family CSV preload is permitted.

SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

evidence note

Every family public manifest is compact and row-free, every gzip transport restores to the exact canonical byte count and SHA-256, every other copied public artifact matches its canonical SHA-256, and all raw CSV and private row JSON names remain absent from public data.

SA-INT-DEPOSITION-044

Source spine

These links anchor the public teaching model. They do not convert the replay into a qualified process recipe or signoff result.
