    摘要: A method of component management in a substrate processing system is disclosed. The substrate processing system has a set of components, at least a plurality of components of the set of components being designated to be smart components, each component of the plurality of components having an intelligent component enhancement (ICE). The method includes querying the plurality of components to request their respective unique identification data from their respective ICEs. The method further includes receiving unique identification data from the plurality of components if any of the plurality of components responds to the querying. The method additionally includes flagging the first component for corrective action if a first component of the plurality of components fails to provide first component unique identification data when the first component identification data is expected.

    摘要: A method for detecting a thickness of a layer of a wafer to be processed is provided. The method includes defining a plurality of sensors configured to create a set of complementary sensors proximate the wafer. Further included in the method is distributing the plurality of sensors along a particular radius of the wafer such that each sensor of the plurality of sensors is out of phase with an adjacent sensor by a same angle. The method also includes measuring signals generated by the plurality of sensors. Further included is averaging the signals generated by the plurality of sensors so as to generate a combination signal. The averaging is configured to remove noise from the combination signal such that the combination signal is capable of being correlated to identify the thickness of the layer.
