摘要： While a substrate is polished, it is also irradiated with light from a light source. A current spectrum of the light reflected from the surface of the substrate is measured. A selected peak, having a first parameter value, is identified in the current spectrum. A value of a second parameter associated with the first parameter is determined from a lookup table using a processor. Depending on the value of the second parameter, the polishing of the substrate is changed. An initial spectrum of light reflected from the substrate before the polishing of the substrate can be measured and a wavelength corresponding to a selected peak of the initial spectrum can be determined.

摘要： Methods of subtracting the copper contribution to spectra obtained from a substrate during chemical mechanical polishing are described. A method of optically determining the amount of area on a substrate that includes a non-dielectric material by making us of a broad band reflectance spectrum of the surface and in particular to determining the concentration of metal such as copper coverage on the surface of a semiconductor as it is gradually reduced during polishing so as to detect the endpoint in a semiconductor etching process. The method is directed to reliably determining the endpoint via the spectral interference pattern resulting from reflections form different dielectric layer interfaces when regions of the substrate are still covered by metal which reflects strongly over the whole wavelength range considered and which tend to mask the reflectance spectrum from the underlying dielectric layers which varies cyclically with decreasing thickness of the dielectric layers.

Each of the spectra in the database has a physical property value associated therewith. The method includes generating a signal indicating that a first value of the physical property is associated with the first spectrum, the first value being determined using the physical property value associated with the identified previously recorded spectrum in the database. A system for determining a physical property of a substrate includes a polishing machine, an endpoint determining module, and a database.

摘要： A plurality of substrates are polished simultaneously on the same polishing pad. A sequence of spectra is measured from each zone of each substrate, and for each measured spectrum in the sequence of spectra for each zone of each substrate, a best matching reference spectrum is determined from a library of reference spectra. For each zone of each substrate, a linear function is fit to a sequence of index values associated with the best matching reference spectra. For at least one zone, a projected time at which the zone will reach a target index value is determined based on the linear function, and the polishing parameter for at least one zone on at least one substrate is adjusted such that the at least one zone of the at least one substrate has closer to the target index at the projected time than without such adjustment.
