MOSAIC is DCA’s next-generation process control software and is now delivered with every new system, giving complete software control of the entire UHV tool, from a single, configurable interface over one Ethernet connection, on Windows or Linux.

What sets MOSAIC apart?

Root-cause analysis:

• Flag any event and MOSAIC analyses the system parameters to identify the most likely cause.
• Optional SMS alerts can flag fault conditions on unattended runs.

Highly customisable UI:

• Users can add/remove/move plots, status cards, and tabs to build their own views.
• Permission levels tailored for each user.
• A clear API with Java and Python SDKs is available for deeper automation or integration.

AI-ready by design:

• AI-ready architecture built toward fully self-driving deposition.
• MOSAIC was built from the ground up to run pre-trained AI models.
• DCA’s AI models are developed and validated before release as controlled, version software updates.
• The AI models begin with assisted parameter tuning and flux-drift compensation, and advancing toward self-driving deposition.
• Runs on a local PC, no cloud needed (your process – your data).

Automated growth-cycle management:

• Sample recipes are built from layers (sub-recipes of commands), with each layer assigned to a specific chamber.

• Easy recipe creation and editing with the graphical editor and command library.
• All recipes run in parallel, automatically sequencing transfers and optimising run time.
• Full control throughout – pause, edit, or override mid-run.
• Automatically generates end-of-run growth report.

Continuous data logging:

• Every value and I/O channel is continuously recorded at 0.5 s intervals.
• Older data is aggregated to minimize disk space while ensuring efficient storage and retrieval.
• Data export and API access.
