Measuring the temperature on the SiC is difficult due to the changing in emissivity as the temperature goes up. So, I will use the MIKRON to measure the temperature on the Ta surface near the end of the tube and OMEGA for measuring the inside.
Using the analogue pyrometer, the temperature on the Ta surface at the end of the tube was measured at around ~1450C; this temperature match the temperature on the Mikron at slope 0.98 (as usual). To match it with OMEGA, I changed the slope to 1.04 since this measurement is taking readings on the inside of the tube and on the SiC material.
Note: The measurements are NOT the absolute temperature. These are relative temperature measurements which give some guideline where the target current should be at for the sintering process. Please plot the temp vs current as the TGHT is being ramped up. At some point, the windows will get coated and the measurement is no longer reliable. The plot will be used to give an estimation of the current for 1800C.

there was a temperature fluctuation resulting in the MIKRON no longer matching the readout on the OMEGA
this prompted another change in the slope on the OMEGA to 1.08
TGHT was then tapped up manually to 600A/ 1800C
will remain at this max setpoint for a few days before ramping down

temperatures dropped a small amount overnight.

TGHT reached to 350A/5.7V, temp around 1200C - notice voltage is much lower than previous process (ID 351), possible target/heat shield shorted therefore lower temp observed. (This should not cause any damage to the container.)
Continue to ramp up to 400A. Notice some evolution of gasses similar to the previous process (ID351) during ramping up of TGHT around 220A . (see attachment1)
