ABSTRACT:
A method for obtaining real-time emissivity and temperature values of a semiconductor wafer in a processing system having at least one lamp (preferably a plurality of lamps arranged in a plurality of zones so as to provide multizone temperature and emissivity values for the semiconductor wafer) arranged in at least one zone, the method using a reference wafer having a known reflectivity and the method comprising the steps of: measuring pyrometry signals for the reference wafer (step 202) and generating calibration curves from the measurements; measuring pyrometry signals for the semiconductor wafer; and obtaining the temperature and emissivity values (step 222) from the calibration curves and the measured pyrometry signals (step 220) for the semiconductor wafer.
