Nanometers per minute to nanometers per second

Type a value in nm/min to get it in nm/s instantly.

1.667nm/s

That's 2× as fast as sputter deposition, while a plasma etch is 5× faster. A 100 nm layer would take about 1 minutes.

What it means

How fast does it grow?

Rates depend on the material as well as the process, and a recipe that etches oxide quickly may barely touch nitride. That difference is the selectivity.

The math

How to convert nm/min to nm/s

To convert nanometers per minute to nanometers per second, multiply by 0.0166667.

Example: 100 nm/min × 0.0166667 = 1.66667 nm/s.

In the other direction, 1 nm/s = 60 nm/min.
