Abstract

A method for determining the temperature of a wafer during processing is disclosed. A test wafer is specially prepared in conjunction with a calibration chart. The difference in stack sheet resistance of the test wafer before and after processing is plotted onto the calibration chart to determine the temperature of the test wafer during processing.
