WIRELESS IN-SITU REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF ELECTROSTATIC CHUCKING FORCE IN SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER PROCESSING

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein include an apparatus for measuring chucking force and methods of using such apparatuses. In an embodiment, the apparatus for measuring a chucking force comprises a substrate having a chucking surface, where the chucking surface is the surface that is supported by a chuck. In an embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a plurality of sensors over the chucking surface, where the plurality of sensors are thin film sensors with a thickness that is less than a thickness of the substrate. In an embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a wireless communication module electrically coupled to each of the plurality of sensors.
