    摘要: A method for automatic determination of a state of a substrate in a plasma processing chamber is provided. Substrate reflectance data is collected in a processing chamber prior to processing to be analyzed with reference reflectance data to determine if the substrate state meets a control criterion. The substrate state may define the thickness and the qualities of the films on the substrate, the critical dimensions of the different layers on the substrate. The reflectance data is analyzed using a multi-variant analysis technique, such as principle component analysis. In addition to analyzing substrate state prior to processing, substrate reflectance could also be collected in a processing chamber during processing to be analyzed with reference reflectance data to further determine if the substrate state and/or the substrate processing are meeting a control criterion.

    摘要: A method for determining the flow rate of a gas includes measuring a first concentration of a calibration gas provided to the process chamber at a first pressure and temperature by directing infrared radiation into the process chamber and monitoring a first amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the calibration gas. A mixture of a second gas and the calibration gas is provided to the process chamber while maintaining the first pressure and temperature. A second concentration of the calibration gas in the mixture is measured by directing infrared radiation into the process chamber and monitoring a second amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the calibration gas. A flow rate of the second gas is calculated by comparing the first and second concentrations of the calibration gas. In one embodiment, the calibration gas and the second gas may not absorb the infrared radiation at the same wavelength.
