    摘要: A method of calibrating or compensating a sensor for measuring property of target surface is provided. In one embodiment, a liquid reference surface is formed on a platen. A sensor is used to measure a feature property of the reference surface. The measured feature property of the reference surface may be used to calibrate the sensor. Further, the sensor is used to measure the feature property of a polishing pad. The measured feature property of the reference surface may be used to compensate the measured feature property of the polishing pad.
