    摘要: Values are selected for a plurality of controllable parameters of a chemical mechanical polishing system that includes a carrier head with a plurality of zones to apply independently controllable pressures on a substrate. Data is stored relating variation in removal profile on a front surface of the substrate to variation in the controllable parameters, the data including removal at a plurality of positions on the front surface of the substrate, there being a greater number of positions than chambers. A value is determined for each parameter of the plurality of controllable parameters to minimize a difference between a target removal profile and an expected removal profile calculated from the data relating variation in removal profile on a front surface of the substrate to variation in the parameters. The value for each parameter of the plurality of controllable parameters is stored.

    摘要: A method of optically monitoring a substrate during polishing includes receiving an identification of a selected spectral feature and a characteristic of the selected spectral feature to monitor during polishing, measuring a first spectrum from the substrate during polishing, the first spectrum measured within an initial time following initiation of polishing, measuring a sequence of second spectra from the substrate during polishing, the sequence of second spectra measured after the initial time, for each second spectrum in the sequence of second spectra, removing the first spectrum from the second spectrum to generate a sequence of modified third spectra, determining a value of a characteristic of the selected spectral feature for each third spectrum in the sequence of third spectra to generate a sequence of values for the characteristic, and determining a polishing endpoint or an adjustment for a polishing rate based on the sequence of values.
