    摘要: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and method can use an eddy current monitoring system and an optical monitoring system. Signals from the monitoring systems can be combined on an output line and extracted by a computer. The eddy current monitoring system or the optical monitoring system can be used to determine the substrate edge. A focusing optic can be used to improve the accuracy of the optical monitoring system in detecting the edge of the substrate.

    摘要: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and method can use an in-situ monitoring system. A measurement of a position of a carrier head and a sinusoidal first function can be used to define a second function that associates measurements from the series with positions on the substrate. For each measurement in a series from the in-situ monitoring system, the second function can be used to determine a position on the substrate where the measurement was taken. In addition, a measurement of the position of the carrier head, a time when the measurement of the substrate property is made, and a phase correction representing lag resulting from a processing delay in generating the measurement of the position of the carrier head can be used in determining a position on the substrate where a measurement of a substrate property was taken.

    摘要: A plurality of substrates are polished simultaneously on the same polishing pad. A sequence of spectra is measured from each zone of each substrate, and for each measured spectrum in the sequence of spectra for each zone of each substrate, a best matching reference spectrum is determined from a library of reference spectra. For each zone of each substrate, a linear function is fit to a sequence of index values associated with the best matching reference spectra. For at least one zone, a projected time at which the zone will reach a target index value is determined based on the linear function, and the polishing parameter for at least one zone on at least one substrate is adjusted such that the at least one zone of the at least one substrate has closer to the target index at the projected time than without such adjustment.
