Abstract

A fixture includes a frame, a leveling plate, a bracket, and a laser profiler. The frame is arranged for fixation above a reaction chamber arranged to deposit a film onto a substrate. The leveling plate is supported on the frame. The bracket is supported on the leveling plate. The laser profiler is suspended from the bracket, overlays the reaction chamber, and has a field of view that extends through the leveling plate and the frame to determine position of a target within the reaction chamber. Semiconductor processing systems and methods of determining position of targets within reaction chambers in semiconductor processing systems are also described.
