Abstract

The temperature and radiant energy emissivity of a semiconductor substrate or wafer undergoing processing are monitored by combining indications derived from an interferometer and the intensity of radiant energy emitted from the substrate. The radiant energy intensity is detected at adjacent maxima or minima in the intensity of the interference pattern.
