摘要: The structure of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) thermal sensor and a method of fabricating the MEMS thermal sensor are disclosed. A method of fabricating a MEMS thermal sensor includes forming first and second sensing electrodes with first and second electrode fingers, respectively, on a substrate and forming a patterned layer with a rectangular cross-section between a pair of the first electrode fingers. The first and second electrode fingers are formed in an interdigitated configuration and suspended above the substrate. The method further includes modifying the patterned layer to have a curved cross-section between the pair of the first electrode fingers, forming a curved sensing element on the modified patterned layer to couple to the pair of the first electrode fingers, and removing the modified patterned layer.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for monitoring a distance between a shutter and a reference point in a processing module. For example, the method includes moving a shutter relative to a substrate support in a wafer processing module and determining a distance between the shutter and a wall of the wafer processing module with a measurement device. In response to the distance being greater than a value, the method further includes transferring a substrate to the substrate support, and in response to the distance being equal to or less than the value, the method includes resetting the shutter.
