Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for determining a growth rate on a semiconductor substrate is described herein. The apparatus is an optical sensor, such as an optical growth rate sensor. The optical sensor is positioned in an exhaust of a deposition chamber. The optical sensor is self-heated using one or more internal heating elements, such as a resistive heating element. The internal heating elements are configured to heat a sensor coupon. A film is formed on the sensor coupon by exhaust gases flowed through the exhaust and is correlated to film growth on a substrate within a process volume of the deposition chamber.
