Abstract

See full text

Targeted temperature compensation for use with a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus. A localized temperature monitoring system is configured to provide localized temperature information representing surface temperatures of portions of the one or more wafers on a wafer carrier while the wafer carrier is rotating in a CVD process. A temperature profiling system is configured to generate a temperature profile that is indicative of localized cold spots on a surface of the one or more wafers. The temperature profile is based on the localized temperature information. A targeted heating system is configured to selectively apply localized heat to the localized cold spots dynamically based on the temperature profile such that a thermal distribution of the surface of the one or more wafers is made more uniform while a CVD process is carried out on the CVD apparatus.
