Abstract

A method includes loading a substrate into a sensing chamber; while the substrate is in the sensing chamber, performing a spectral analysis of the substrate; transferring the substrate between the sensing chamber and a processing chamber coupled to the sensing chamber; processing the substrate in the processing chamber to form at least a first layer and/or pattern on the substrate; and based on at least the spectral analysis, determining whether a parameter resulting from the formation of first layer and/or pattern is satisfied.
