Temperature

Measure wafer and/or thin-film temperature via band gap thermometry: it's non-contact, non-invasive, and real-time. Insensitive to changing view port transmission, stray light sources, and signal contribution from substrate heaters, measure GaAs, Si, SiC, InP, ZnSe, ZnTe, and GaN.

With the kSA Temperature Solution, get:

  • substrate temperature during epitaxial growth
  • temperature profile mapping
  • single or multi-wafer temperature profiling during epitaxial growth
  • temperature monitoring during thermal anneal
  • temperature monitoring during plasma process
  • in-situ growth rate calibration
