  • Patent number: 11490499
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor includes generating plasma in an amplifying tube using gas as a gain medium; detecting a state of the plasma generated in the amplifying tube; determining a virtual laser gain based on the detected state of the plasma; controlling the state of the plasma such that the virtual laser gain is within a target range; and manufacturing the semiconductor device including performing an exposure process on a substrate using a laser beam output from the amplifying tube adjusted to have the virtual laser gain within the target range.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10971343
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring an interior of a process chamber including a process chamber including a chamber body and a view port defined in the chamber body, a cover section including a pinhole in one end, the cover section disposed to correspond to an end portion of the view port, the cover section having a first length in a direction toward a center point of the process chamber, and a sensing unit inserted into the view port to monitor the interior of the process chamber through the pinhole, a region in the process chamber to be sensed by the sensing unit determined based on the first length may be provided.

  • Patent number: 10481005
    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate measuring apparatus includes a light source unit generating irradiation light including light in a first wavelength band and light in a second wavelength band. An optical unit irradiates the irradiation light on a measurement object and condenses reflected light. A light splitting unit splits the reflected light, condensed in the optical unit, into a first optical path and a second optical path. A first detecting unit is disposed on the first optical path and detects first interference light in the first wavelength band in the reflected light. A second detecting unit is disposed on the second optical path and detects second interference light in the second wavelength band in the reflected light. A controlling unit calculates at least one of a surface shape or a thickness of the measurement object. The controlling unit calculates a temperature of the measurement object.
