Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to methods of analyzing uniformity for substrate processing, and related apparatus and systems, for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, a non-uniformity is indicated, and the non-uniformity is a temperature non-uniformity and/or a physical non-uniformity. In one or more embodiments, a signal profile is accepted or rejected. In one or more embodiments, a method of analyzing uniformity for substrate processing applicable for semiconductor manufacturing includes heating an internal volume of a processing chamber using a target value. The method includes rotating a substrate support, and scanning, while rotating the substrate support, a sensor across one or more sections to take a plurality of readings. The method includes generating a signal profile including the plurality of readings, and analyzing the signal profile by comparing the signal profile to a range.
