  • Patent number: 8591665
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for processing a substrate in a processing chamber which includes a first chamber and a second chamber. A first surface of the substrate is exposed to the first chamber and a second surface of the substrate is exposed to the second chamber. One method includes an operation for applying a first fluid to the first surface of the substrate, where the first fluid is at a first temperature. Further, the method includes another operation for applying a second fluid to the second surface of the substrate, where the second fluid is at a second temperature. During processing of the substrate, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the second fluid heats the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8135485
    Abstract: A method for aligning a substrate to a process center of a support mechanism is provided. The method includes determining substrate thickness after substrate processing at a plurality of orientations and at a plurality of radial distances from a geometric center of the substrate. The method also includes deriving a set of process rate values from substrate thickness and process duration. The method further includes creating for a process rate an off-centered plot, which represents a substantially concentric circle whose points are a circumference of the off-centered plot having substantially the first process rate. The method yet also includes applying a curve-fitting equation to the off-centered plot to determine a set of parameters. The method yet further includes teaching a set of robot arms the set of parameters, thereby enabling the set of robot arms to align another substrate that is supported by the support mechanism with the process center.

  • Patent number: 7486878
    Abstract: A bevel inspection module for capturing images of a substrate is provided. The module includes a rotational motor, which is attached to a substrate chuck and is configured to rotate the substrate chuck thereby allowing the substrate to revolve. The module further includes a camera and an optic enclosure, which is attached to the camera and is configured to rotate, enabling light to be directed toward the substrate. The camera is mounted from a camera mount, which is configured to enable the camera to rotate on a 180 degree plane allowing the camera to capture images of at least one of a top view, a bottom view, and a side view of the substrate. The module yet also includes a backlight arrangement, which is configured to provide illumination to the substrate, thereby enabling the camera to capture the images, which shows contrast between the substrate and a background.
