Zusammenfassung:An integrated system for synthesis of a film-forming precursor, consumption of the precursor and formation of a thin film on a substrate is provided. The integrated system includes a raw material source, a precursor synthesis chamber in communication with the raw material source, a thin film processing chamber in communication with the precursor synthesis chamber for supplying the precursor from the precursor synthesis chamber to the thin film processing chamber in a controlled manner for consumption of the precursor to form the thin film on the substrate, a monitoring system for monitoring of the thin film formation in the thin film processing chamber and/or the precursor synthesis in the precursor synthesis chamber, and a controller for controlling a rate of the precursor synthesis, precursor consumption and/or thin film formation. The rate of precursor synthesis is synchronized with the rate of precursor consumption for formation of the thin film.
