SUBSTRATE PROCESSING MONITORING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18965312 titled 'SUBSTRATE PROCESSING MONITORING

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for processing a substrate within a processing chamber comprises receiving a first radiation signal corresponding to a film on a target element disposed within the processing chamber, analyzing the first radiation signal, and controlling the processing of the substrate based on the analyzed first radiation signal. The processing chamber includes a substrate support configured to support the substrate within a processing volume and a controller coupled to a first sensing device configured to receive the first radiation signal.
