Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to methods of adjusting uniformity for substrate processing, and related apparatus and systems, for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, a heating power applied to a set of one or more heat sources is adjusted by an adjustment factor. In one or more embodiments, a method of adjusting uniformity. The method includes scanning a sensor across one or more sections to take a plurality of readings, generating a signal profile including the plurality of readings, and analyzing the signal profile by comparing the signal profile to a range. The method includes adjusting one or more heating parameters if at least one portion of the signal profile is outside of the range. The adjusting includes identifying a set of one or more heat sources that correlate with the at least one portion of the signal profile, and adjusting a heating power by an adjustment factor.
