    Abstract: An apparatus for chemical mechanical polishing includes a support for a polishing pad having a polishing surface, and an electromagnetic induction monitoring system to generate a magnetic field to monitor a substrate being polished by the polishing pad. The electromagnetic induction monitoring system includes a core and a coil wound around a portion of the core. The core includes a back portion, a center post extending from the back portion in a first direction normal to the polishing surface, and an annular rim extending from the back portion in parallel with the center post and surrounding and spaced apart from the center post by a gap. A width of the gap is less than a width of the center post, and a surface area of a top surface of the annular rim is at least two times greater than a surface area of a top surface of the center post.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to determine a parameter of a metal-containing film are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of determining a parameter of a metal-containing film may include generating a first magnetic field by flowing an alternating current through a coil disposed adjacent to and spaced apart from the metal-containing film, wherein the first magnetic field induces a second magnetic field proximate the metal-containing film; heating the metal-containing film from a first temperature to a second temperature; measuring a response of the first magnetic field to the second magnetic field as the metal-containing film is heated from the first temperature to the second temperature; and correlating the response with a rate of temperature change of the metal-containing film as the metal-containing film is heated from the first temperature to the second temperature to determine a parameter of the metal-containing film.

    Abstract: A nondestructive system and method for measuring non-conductive coating thickness is disclosed. The method includes providing a composite substrate, placing a conductive layer over a surface of the composite substrate, and depositing a plurality of non-conductive coating layers over the conductive layer. An eddy-current measuring coil formed on a printed circuit board is provided atop the coating layers. The coil has a driving trace with first and second driving electrodes, and a receiving trace having first and second receiving electrodes. The receiving and driving traces can be either coaxial or interwoven, are spaced apart, and share a common center. A load administered to the first and second driving electrodes using an eddyscope is measured across the first and second receiving electrodes to determine impedance; the measured impedance is used to determine a total thickness of the plurality of coating layers and whether an overall coating thickness is uniform.

    Abstract: A detection device includes a chamber for vacuum coating, a capacitance measurement device and a baffle mechanism located in the chamber. The baffle mechanism is a closed structure encompassed by a number of baffle walls, wherein at least one baffle wall includes a fixed baffle plate and a moveable baffle plate. The moveable baffle plate is pivotable about the fixed baffle plate. The moveable baffle plate, after pivoting, may get parallel with an adjacent baffle wall. The adjacent baffle wall and the moveable baffle plate are respectively connected to the capacitance measurement device, and the capacitance measurement device is used to measure the capacitance between the adjacent baffle wall and the moveable baffle plate. The detection device may accurately detect the service life of the baffle mechanism and achieve precise management of the apparatus.
