Abstract: Apparatus and methods for plasma-process control are provided. One method relates to determining a physical condition of at least one object in a cavity (12) containing gas, where sufficient electromagnetic radiation is directed into the cavity (120) to maintain (e.g., modulate or sustain) a plasma from the gas. The method can further include monitoring a temperature of the at least one object and detecting a spike in the temperature.

Abstract: Microwave energy is used as a radiation source for rapid thermal processing of semiconductor wafers. In one aspect, a hybrid material formed from a microwave modulator material is used to provide temperature uniformity across the wafer and to avoid cracking or breaking of wafers due to the development of thermal stresses. In another aspect, microwave-generated atmospheric pressure plasma is used to heat the wafer either directly or indirectly.
