    • An infrared television camera (20) monitors the etching of a substrate (26) in-situ in an etch chamber (24). Temporal and spatial resolution of IR emissions is obtained by monitoring the top surface of the substrate (26) in two-dimensions throughout the course of the etching process. Anomalies in temperature detected on the top surface of the substrate (26) can indicate defects in the substrate (26) itself or in the operation of the etching apparatus. Process feedback control is achieved by adjusting various parameters of the etching apparatus (i.e., gas-pressure, flow pattern, magnetic field, coolant flow to electrode, or the like) to compensate for etching anomalies. Etch uniformity and etch endpoint monitoring is achieved by monitoring the IR emissions resulting from exothermic reaction of the film being etched. IR emissions decline at the end of an exothermic etch reaction. Particulate matter which might otherwise harm the substrate (26) can be identified in the gas-phase with a second IR television camera (34) which images the region above the substrate (26). Particulate matter appears as localized "hot spots" within the gas plasma, and the identification of particulate matter allows corrective measures to be taken.
    • 红外电视摄像机(20)在蚀刻室(24)中原位监测衬底(26)的蚀刻。 通过在蚀刻过程的整个过程中二维地监测衬底(26)的顶表面来获得IR发射的时间和空间分辨率。 在基板(26)的顶表面上检测到的温度异常可以指示基板(26)本身的缺陷或蚀刻装置的操作中的缺陷。 通过调整蚀刻装置的各种参数(即,气体压力,流动模式,磁场,冷却剂流向电极等)来实现过程反馈控制,以补偿蚀刻异常。 蚀刻均匀性和蚀刻端点监测通过监测被蚀刻的膜的放热反应产生的IR辐射来实现。 在放热蚀刻反应结束时,IR辐射下降。 否则可能会损害基板(26)的颗粒物质可以在对基板(26)上方的区域进行成像的第二IR电视摄像机(34)的气相中识别。 颗粒物质在气体等离子体中呈现为局部“热点”,微粒物质的识别允许采取纠正措施。
