Abstract

See full text

Embodiments herein provide methods of monitoring temperatures of fluid delivery conduits for delivering fluids to, and other components external to, a processing volume of a processing chamber used in electronic device fabrication manufacturing, and monitoring systems related thereto. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at the temperature monitoring system (TMS) controller, information from a first plurality of temperature sensors and a second plurality of temperature sensors, comparing, using the TMS controller, the temperature information to one or more pre-determined control limits, and communicating, using the TMS controller, an out-of-control event to a user. Generally, the temperature monitoring system features the first and second pluralities of temperature sensors, the TMS controller, a first connection module, and a second connection module.
