Rapid measurement of substrate temperatures by frequency-domain low-coherence interferometry

Abstract: Rapid high-precision temperature monitoring systems for silicon wafers applicable even during plasma processing have been developed using frequency-domain low-coherence interferometry without a reference mirror. It was found to have a precision of 0.04 °C, a response time of 1 ms, and a large tolerance to mechanical vibrations and fiber vending when monitoring the temperature of commercial Si wafers. The performance is a substantial improvement over the previous precision of 0.11 °C measured in a few seconds u… Show more

“…To solve this problem, we have developed a noncontact temperature measurement method based on optical low-coherence interferometry (LCI) and reported the accurate substrate temperature measurement in the plasma etching process. [16][17][18][19][20][21] It is necessary to evaluate the repeatability of the temperature measurement by replacing the plasma-treated substrate with new one. In addition, there are no reports on the application of LCI to the measurement of the substrate temperature in deposition processes.…”

“…Como se puede observar, uno de los interferómetros se denomina "interferómetro de referencia" o "interferómetro de procesado", cuya misión es generar diferentes OPD de referencia para comparar con el OPD medido en un sensor y obtener un máximo en el patrón de interferencia. La existencia del escaneo del OPD denota que en estos sistemas se emplea, generalmente, un esquema basado en TD-LCI [87,89,90], aunque también existen propuestas basadas en FD-LCI [91,92]. Mediante la medida de la diferencia entre el OPD de referencia y el que provoca el máximo en el patrón de interferencia, es posible obtener la variación de la magnitud física en cuestión.…”

“…Por otra parte, también suelen ser comunes los sistemas de sensado destinados a medir cambios de temperatura siendo el método empleado ligeramente diferente a los casos comentados previamente [89,92,93]. En primer lugar, se encuentra la diferencia de fase entre la señal de referencia y la señal del sensor cuando se produce el máximo del patrón de interferencia.…”
