摘要： In polishing a substrate having a layer of GST disposed over an underlying layer, during polishing, a non-polarized light beam is directed onto the layer of GST. The non-polarized light beam reflects from the first substrate to generate a reflected light beam having an infra-red component. A sequence of measurements of intensity of the infra-red component of the reflected light beam are generated, and, in a processor, a time at which the sequence of measurements exhibits a predefined feature is determined.

摘要： A method of controlling polishing includes storing a library having a plurality of reference spectra, polishing a substrate, measuring a sequence of spectra of light from the substrate during polishing, for each measured spectrum of the sequence of spectra, finding a best matching reference spectrum using a matching technique other than sum of squared differences to generate a sequence of best matching reference spectra, and determining at least one of a polishing endpoint or an adjustment for a polishing rate based on the sequence of best matching reference spectra. Finding a best matching reference spectrum may include performing a cross-correlation of the measured spectrum with each of two or more of the plurality of reference spectra from the library and selecting a reference spectrum with the greatest correlation to the measured spectrum as a best matching reference spectrum.

摘要： In one aspect, a method of polishing includes polishing a substrate, and receiving an identification of a selected spectral feature and a characteristic of the selected spectral feature to monitor during polishing. The method includes measuring a sequence of spectra of light reflected from the substrate while the substrate is being polished, where at least some of the spectra of the sequence differ due to material being removed during the polishing. The method of polishing includes determining a value of a characteristic of the selected spectral feature for each of the spectra in the sequence of spectra to generate a sequence of values for the characteristic, fitting a function to the sequence of values, and determining either a polishing endpoint or an adjustment for a polishing rate based on the function.

摘要： Methods of subtracting the contribution of anon-dielectric, e.g., copper, 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 use 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 substrate as the substrate is polished. The method is directed to reliably determining the endpoint via the spectral interference pattern resulting from reflections from dielectric regions when adjacent regions of the substrate are covered by metal which reflects strongly over the whole wavelength range considered and which tend to mask the reflectance spectrum from the adjacent dielectric regions.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for spectrum based monitoring of chemical mechanical polishing, including spectrum based endpointing, spectrum based polishing rate adjustment, flushing a top surface of an optical head, or a pad with a window. The spectrum-based endpointing uses a reference spectrum which is empirically selected for particular spectrum based endpoint determination logic so that the target thickness is achieved when endpoint is called by applying the particular spectrum based endpoint logic. The polishing endpoint can be determined using a difference trace or a sequence of index values. The flushing system creates a laminar gas flow across the top surface of the optical head. The vacuum nozzle and vacuum sources are configured so that the flow if gas is laminar. The window includes a soft plastic portion and a crystalline or glass like portion. The spectrum based polishing rate adjustment includes obtaining spectra for different zones on a substrate.
