    摘要: A method and system for determining a thickness of a conductive film layer deposited on a wafer include at two eddy current sensors to take electrical resistivity measurements of the conductive film layer on the wafer as the wafer is being transported by a robot arm, a temperature sensor to determine a temperature change of the wafer during the electrical resistivity measurement, and a processing device to adjust a value of the electrical resistivity measurement by an amount based on the determined temperature change and to determine a thickness of the conductive film layer using the adjusted value of the electrical resistivity measurement and a previously determined correlation between electrical resistivity measurement values and respective thicknesses of conductive film layers. Alternatively, the wafer can be kept at a steady temperature when taking electrical resistivity measurements of the conductive film layer to determine a thickness of the conductive film layer.
