Abstract

See full text

A composite diagnostic wafer containing a placebo wafer having the same dimensions as a semiconductor wafer. The placebo wafer has affixed to one surface one or more ion current probes and one or more ion energy analyzers. As such, measurement instrumentation connected to the analyzer(s) and probe(s) determines ion current and ion energy at various locations on the placebo wafer during plasma generation within a semiconductor wafer processing system.
