Abstract: A polishing system includes a pressure system, a substrate carrier including a membrane, a first sensor, and a control system. A first compartment of the membrane is fluidly coupled to the pressure system. The first sensor is configured to monitor the pressure system and produce a first output based on conditions detected in the pressure system. The control system coupled to the first sensor and configured to process the first output to produce a first processed output, and the control system configured to compare the first processed output to a threshold to detect a presence of a fluid in the pressure system.

Abstract: A method of processing a substrate according to a PECVD process is described. Temperature profile of the substrate is adjusted to change deposition rate profile across the substrate. Plasma density profile is adjusted to change deposition rate profile across the substrate. Chamber surfaces exposed to the plasma are heated to improve plasma density uniformity and reduce formation of low quality deposits on chamber surfaces. In situ metrology may be used to monitor progress of a deposition process and trigger control actions involving substrate temperature profile, plasma density profile, pressure, temperature, and flow of reactants.
