Abstract: A method for improving the measurement of semiconductor wafers is disclosed. In the past, the repeatability of measurements was adversely affected due to the unpredictable growth of a layer of contamination over the intentionally deposited dielectric layers. Repeatability can be enhanced by removing this contamination layer prior to measurement. This contamination layer can be effectively removed in a non-destructive fashion by subjecting the wafer to a cleaning step. In one embodiment, the cleaning is performed by exposing the wafer to microwave radiation. Alternatively, the wafer can be cleaned with a radiant heat source. These two cleaning modalities can be used alone or in combination with each other or in combination with other cleaning modalities. The cleaning step may be carried out in air, an inert atmosphere or a vacuum. Once the cleaning has been performed, the wafer can be measured using any number of known optical measurement systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the isotope ratio of one or more trace gases and/or components of gas mixtures such as different gas species present in a gas mixture. The system includes a resonant optical cavity having two or more mirrors and containing a gas, the cavity having a free spectral range that equals the difference between frequencies of two measured absorption lines of different gas species in the gas, or of two different isotopes, divided onto an integer number. The system includes a continuous-wave tunable laser optically coupled with the resonant optical cavity and a detector system for measuring an absorption of laser light by the gas in the cavity. The detector system includes a photo-detector to measure an intensity of the intra-cavity light, or both a photo-acoustic sensor to measure photo-acoustic waves generated in the cavity and a photo-detector to measure an intensity of the intra-cavity light.
