Abstract:
A wireless sensor includes at least one capacitive plate for sensing a distance relative to an object of interest within a semiconductor-processing environment. The sensor includes an internal power source and wireless communication such that distance and/or parallelism measurements effected using the capacitive plate(s) can be provided wirelessly to an external device.
