Abstract
Optimization of optical-thin-film uniformity for 0.9-m-aperture optics in a 72-in. coating chamber is achieved for a planetary rotation through analysis of source placement, planetary gearing, and mask design. Consideration is made for efficiency of source material utilization, resulting in achieved deposition nonuniformity of less than 0.5%.
