Abstract

Improved endpoint detection and/or thickness measurements may be obtained by correcting sensor data using calibration parameters and/or drift compensation parameters. Calibration parameters may include an offset and a slope, or other parameters. Drift compensation parameters may include off-wafer measurements.
