MONITOR Extends Integration with Intellemetrics' FilmMaker
September 2009
Intellemetrics is pleased to announce that the FilmStar optical
design software from FTG
Software Associates has recently been extended
to enable an easier flow of data to Intellemetrics' FilmMaker software.
Many of Intellemetrics' customers using the IL550 and IL560 range
of optical monitors also use the FilmStar optical design package.
Intellemetrics' FilmMaker software takes the optical design and allows
creation of the optical monitoring scheme, whilst Intellemetrics'
FilmDirector controls the optical monitor during
the deposition process.
FilmStar MONITOR (Version 2.52) has now been extended so that settings
can be imported directly into FilmMaker via CSV files created
by
FilmStar, thereby significantly easing the data entry process.
The Thick (nm) column (select 'Intellevation' in Setup.. Program
Mode) converts design optical or physical thickness to physical thickness
in nm on the monitor witness. Thickness values include tooling factors
(monitor/substrate ratio) for each material.
A simple FilmStar MONITOR BASIC program creates the required CSV
file. Once in FilmMaker, click File.. Import.. Film Stack.. From
CSV to transfer the values. Then click the Verify Film button to
compute and fill-in the remaining values. 
You have just created created an optical monitoring scheme in
FilmMaker from an optical design in FilmStar!
