SIMULATION / SA-PROC-METRO-DOE-RSM-001

DOE response surface
DOE / RSM

Replay a two-factor process grid so deposition rate, film stress, center points, and curvature warnings travel together.

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
  • Compare the center point against edge-of-window process conditions.
  • Look for response tradeoffs between deposition rate and film stress.
  • Use the grid as a planning card before measured DOE runs are collected.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The public page replays saved DOE data. It does not optimize recipes, operate equipment, or submit process runs.

precomputed replay

Primary knobs

  • Power: 150 W, 200 W, and 250 W
  • Pressure: 3 mTorr, 5 mTorr, and 7 mTorr
  • Responses: deposition rate and film stress
  • Warning: high-pressure curvature in the teaching response
outputs

Saved outputs

  • rate response matrix
  • stress response matrix
  • best-rate condition
  • center-point and curvature notes

METHODS

How the number was made.

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

method

Treat the 3 x 3 factor grid as a saved screening-and-response-surface teaching replay.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Identify the maximum deposition-rate response while keeping film stress visible.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Use the center point as an anchor before reading edge-of-window results.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Flag curvature when increasing pressure stops improving the rate at high power.

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

No chamber physics, gas chemistry, target erosion, substrate temperature, film composition, stress metrology calibration, or replicate analysis is included.

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

non-claim

No optimized recipe, qualified metrology, facility setting, manufacturing release, or production process-window claim is implied.

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

non-claim

Real DOE evidence requires randomized runs, repeats, residual analysis, uncertainty, tool history, and rights-clean measured responses.

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

non-claim

This replay is a planning aid and must not be used to run equipment.

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

The dataset preserves factors, response matrices, best-rate case, center point, and curvature warning.

SA-PROC-METRO-DOE-RSM-001

evidence note

The model card keeps DOE planning separate from facility process execution.

SA-PROC-METRO-DOE-RSM-001

evidence note

NIST/SEMATECH DOE sources anchor design-selection and response-surface vocabulary.

SA-PROC-METRO-DOE-RSM-001

Source spine

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

Public execution boundary

No server-side live ngspice execution, uploads, accounts, payments, comments, newsletter signup, or job/event submissions are active on this page.
