ATE Deposition Summary
Description
Reads an XML Status file from the ATE thermal evaporator and returns the procedural timeline.
Usage
ATE.complete(filename, summaryOnly = FALSE)
Arguments
filename |
XML Status file from Angstrom Thermal Evaporator |
summaryOnly |
logical, if |
Details
Extracts information about the deposition thickness from the completed status XML file at the end of the deposition.
Value
deposition thickness, rate, ramping times, and actions

Examples
fileName <- ATE.sampleFiles('_Complete_')
ATE.complete(fileName, TRUE)
ATE.complete(fileName)
Imports Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator Log Data
Description
Imports Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator Log Data
Usage
ATE.import(filename)
Arguments
filename |
CSV filename including path for the ATE log file |
Value
data frame with around 50 variables and rows that represent time; the variables include Date, Time, SubstrateShutterOpen, ChamberPressure and many other parameters.

Basic Information from Thermal Evaporator Deposition
Description
Imports data from the CSV log file of an Angstrom Engineering Thermal Evaporator. It extracts information during the deposition; i.e. while the shutter is open. It returns a condensed version of the deposition parameters.
Usage
ATE.info(filename, verbose = FALSE)
Arguments
filename |
full path of ATE Log file |
verbose |
set to TRUE to get additional information |
Value
list with information during the deposition that includes the thickness, the deposition time in seconds, the starting date, the substrate heater temperature, the material deposition temperature, tooling factor, base pressure, the pressure at start of the deposition, maximum pressure, and the material name

Sample ATE file list
Description
Returns a list of sample thermal evaporator log files, mostly for testing.
Usage
ATE.sampleFiles(filePattern = "*")
Arguments
filePattern |
pattern to limit the files |
Value
list of sample data files with log information
Examples
ATE.sampleFiles()
ATE.sampleFiles('_Status')
ATE Recipe Status
Description
Reads an XML Status file from the ATE thermal evaporator and returns the procedural timeline.
Usage
ATE.status(filename)
Arguments
filename |
path and filename of XML Status file from Angstrom Thermal Evaporator |
Value
data frame with description steps, start and end times
