SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE MEASURING METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198482 titled 'SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE MEASURING METHOD USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a substrate temperature measuring device that uses a sensor to detect different amounts of light at different wavelengths emitted by the substrate. The device includes two calculators, one to calculate the temperatures at each wavelength based on the detected light amounts, and another to calculate the emissivity and reflected energy of the substrate based on the calculated temperatures. The temperature of the substrate is then determined using the calculated emissivity and reflected energy.

  • The device measures substrate temperature using a sensor and different wavelengths of light.
  • It calculates the temperatures at each wavelength based on the detected light amounts.
  • It also calculates the emissivity and reflected energy of the substrate based on the calculated temperatures.
  • The temperature of the substrate is determined using the calculated emissivity and reflected energy.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial processes where accurate substrate temperature measurement is important, such as semiconductor manufacturing or metal processing.
  • Monitoring and controlling the temperature of materials during various manufacturing processes.
  • Research and development of new materials or processes that require precise temperature control.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate measurement of substrate temperature, which is crucial for maintaining quality and efficiency in various manufacturing processes.
  • Overcoming the limitations of traditional temperature measurement methods, such as contact-based thermocouples or infrared cameras, which may not provide accurate readings or require physical contact with the substrate.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability in substrate temperature measurement.
  • Non-contact measurement, eliminating the need for physical contact with the substrate.
  • Real-time monitoring and control of substrate temperature, allowing for better process optimization and quality control.
