SUBSTRATE STATE DETECTION FOR PLASMA PROCESSING TOOLS

A substrate processing tool capable of detecting a gap and/or shifting of a substrate clamped to a clamping surface in a processing chamber based on observed behavior of RF power delivered to the processing chamber during processing. The behavior of the RF power is observed by comparing a voltage-cu...

Zusammenfassung:A substrate processing tool capable of detecting a gap and/or shifting of a substrate clamped to a clamping surface in a processing chamber based on observed behavior of RF power delivered to the processing chamber during processing. The behavior of the RF power is observed by comparing a voltage-current phase angle difference and/or impedance magnitude change between a real RF power component and a reactive RF power component of the RF power delivered to the processing chamber.
