摘要： An optical model for a layer stack has a plurality of input parameters, the plurality of input parameters defining a parameter space. A plurality of model spectra are generated by calculating a model spectrum using the optical model for each of a first plurality of different points in the parameter space. A test spectrum of a test substrate is measured. For each model spectrum of the plurality of model spectra, the test spectrum is compared to the model spectrum to determine a difference value, thereby generating a plurality of difference values. A plurality of minima in the plurality of difference values are determined. Reference spectra can be generated clustered around points in the parameter space corresponding to a local minimum from the plurality of minima, or the local minimum can be used as a seed value in fitting the optical model to a measured spectrum.

摘要： Disclosed is a carrier head of a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for planarizing a semiconductor wafer. An adjustment chamber is provided in a space section formed between a membrane lower holder and a membrane upper holder of a wafer support assembly. Pressure applied to the adjustment chamber is transferred to a rear surface of a membrane during a polishing process through a perforated hole formed at a center of the membrane lower holder. A center portion of the membrane is connected to a vacuum pipe by passing through a hole of the membrane lower holder and the adjustment chamber. Vacuum pressure is directly applied to a wafer so that the wafer is easily attached to the carrier head at lower pressure. Pressure is evenly distributed over the whole area of the wafer so that the wafer is evenly polished.

摘要： A system for polishing a substrate has a controller, pressure source, a platen, and a carrier for handling the substrate. The carrier must be able to detect if a substrate is present. In either the case of a false detection of substrate presence or the failure to detect substrate presence, the likely result is damaged substrates, wasted polishing consumables, and down time of the manufacturing facility. Detection is achieved by the substrate causing movement of a plunger and by such movement resulting in a pressure differential that is detected. The reliability of this detection is improved by one or more of a precise relationship of the plunger to a plate that applies pressure to the substrate, a controlled seal that is ensured of being broken when the plunger is moved by the presence of a substrate, and proper spring pressure applied to the plunger to prevent spurious plunger movement.
摘要翻译：用于抛光衬底的系统具有控制器，压力源，压板和用于处理衬底的载体。载体必须能够检测是否存在基材。在基板存在的错误检测或基板存在的检测失败的情况下，可能的结果是损坏基板，浪费抛光耗材和制造设备的停机时间。通过基板实现检测，引起柱塞的移动，并通过这种移动导致检测到的压力差。该检测的可靠性通过柱塞与向衬底施加压力的板的精确关系中的一种或多种来提高，该受控密封件确保当柱塞通过存在衬底移动时被破坏;以及适当的弹簧压力施加到柱塞以防止假柱塞运动。

摘要： A workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer is held by a top ring, and a lower surface of the workpiece is polished to a flat mirror finish by being pressed against a polishing surface of the turntable while the top ring and the turntable are rotated. While the workpiece is being polished, at least one of the pressure and the flow rate of a fluid which is supplied to an upper surface of the workpiece is detected. When at least one of the detected pressure and the detected flow rate changes, the polishing of the workpiece is stopped.
