Perhaps I missunderstood what kebo meant in the above statement. If I understand you correctly sswee, you understand kebo's statement to mean that he is within +-7% of his target thickness? I understood kebo's statement to mean that he has only achieve +-7% of the projected thickness.

Having said that, if you are within +-7% of the projected thickness kebo then job well done! I would think that any of use would be very happy with those results. On the other hand, if you have only produced an oxide thickness of +-7% of the projected thickness, then perhaps one of the factors mentioned above is a little wacky.

I am somewhat unclear as to what you are asking kebo...Then again, it doesn't take much to confuse us canucks! Just show us something shiny which makes a "whirling" sound and we'll tilt our heads in utter awe and confusion.
