  • Wireless temperature calibration device and method
    Patent number: 5265957
    Abstract: A device and method for calibrating at least one temperature sensor is disclosed herein. A wafer (30) is provided having a first plurality of calibration islands (36) of a material having a melting point in the range 150.degree.-1150.degree. C. The effective reflectivity of the wafer is measured in operation using the temperature sensor or via a separate light source. A first step change in an output signal of the temperature sensor corresponding to a wafer temperature equal to the melting point of the first calibration islands is detected. Finally, the temperature sensor calibration parameters are calculated.
