METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING A SUBSTRATE USING NON-CONTACT TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided. The apparatus, for example, can include a process chamber comprising a chamber body defining a processing volume and having a view port coupled to the chamber body; a substrate support disposed within the processing volume and having a support surface to support a substrate; and an infrared temperature sensor (IRTS) disposed outside the chamber body adjacent the view port to measure a temperature of the substrate when being processed in the processing volume, the IRTS movable relative to the view port for scanning the substrate through the view port.
