  • Publication number: 20230315047
    Abstract: A method for detecting an endpoint of a seasoning process for a plasma tool includes (a) operating the plasma tool to run a seasoning recipe on at least one seasoning wafer before running a monitoring recipe on at least one monitoring wafer; (b) collecting, while running the monitoring recipe on the monitoring wafer, monitoring data associated with the running the monitoring recipe; and (c) generating an estimated product parameter using a virtual metrology (VM) model that is configured to estimate a product parameter using the monitoring data. The VM model is based on production data associated with running a production recipe on production wafers and product parameters of the production wafers measured after the running the production recipe. The endpoint of the seasoning process is obtained by repeating (a), (b) and (c), and the endpoint is obtained when the estimated product parameter stabilizes.

  • Patent number: 7055911
    Abstract: A chair having a back assembly which includes a common back frame, multiple interchangeable crossbars, and a resiliently flexible cover. The cover includes an open interior or pocket which is adapted to receive the crossbar therein and prevent dislodgement of the crossbar. During assembly, the crossbar is first inserted within the open interior of the cover and then fitted into engagement with the back frame wherein the crossbar is held in place by stretching the cover and then engaging the lower edge of the cover with the back frame.
