Abstract

See full text

An improved method and apparatus are disclosed for calibrating the emissivity characteristics of a semiconductor wafer within a processing chamber by supporting a sample wafer on a graphite susceptor within the chamber and by comparing the temperature measured within the susceptor in close proximity to the center of the wafer with the temperature measured by the emission of radiation from the surface of the wafer through the walls of the processing chamber. Temperature measurements subsequently made from the radiation emitted from the surface of similar wafers are corrected with reference to the measurement made of the temperature within the susceptor on the sample wafer.
