Abstract: A method and apparatus for rapid thermal heat treatment of semiconductor and other substrates is provided. A number of heat lamps arranged in an array or other configuration produce light and heat radiation. The light and heat radiation is directed through a heat slot that forms a radiation beam of high intensity light and heat. The radiation beam is directed to a platen that includes multiple substrates. The apparatus and method include a controller that controls rotational and translational motion of the platen relative to the heat slot and also controls the power individually and collectively supplied to the heat lamps. A program is executed which maneuvers the platen such that all portions of all substrates receive the desired thermal treatment, i.e. attain a desired temperature for a desired time period.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a substrate metrology system. The substrate metrology system includes a warpage measurement module configured to determine one or more substrate warpage parameters of a substrate. The substrate includes a plurality of conductive interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over a semiconductor substrate. A metrology module is located physically downstream of the warpage measurement module and has an optical element configured to measure one or more dimensions of the substrate. The metrology module is configured to place the optical element at a plurality of different initial positions, which are directly over a plurality of different locations on the substrate, based upon the one or more substrate warpage parameters.

The substrate metrology system includes a substrate warpage measurement module configured to determine one or more substrate warpage parameters of a substrate by taking a plurality of separate measurements at a plurality of different positions over a substrate. The substrate has a plurality of conductive interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over a semiconductor substrate and a conductive bump disposed over the dielectric structure and configured to be coupled to an additional substrate of a multi-dimensional chip. A substrate metrology module has an optical component and is configured to measure one or more dimensions of the conductive bump. A position control element is configured to move the optical component. A feed-forward path is coupled between an output of the substrate warpage measurement module and an input of the position control element.
