Abstract
Systems and methods of controlling a deposition rate during thin-film fabrication are provided. A system as provided may include a chamber, a material source contained within the chamber, an electrical component to activate the material source, a substrate holder to support the multilayer stack and at least one witness sample. The system may further include a measurement device and a computational unit. The material source provides a layer of material to the multilayer stack and to the witness sample at a deposition rate controlled at least partially by the electrical component and based on a correction value obtained in real-time by the computational unit. In some embodiments, the correction value is based on a measured value provided by the measurement device and a computed value provided by the computational unit according to a model.
