Abstract:
A thermal plate is divided into a plurality of sections. An accumulated values of temperature change of each section when a substrate is placed on the thermal plate in a normal state not having an extraneous matter is collected. According to the accumulated value during normal state, a Malanobis reference space in the judgment analysis method is created. During actual thermal treatment, an accumulated value of temperature change of each section when a substrate is placed on the thermal plate is detected. According to the accumulated value during the treatment and the Mahalanobis reference space obtained in advance, the Mahalanobis distance for the accumulated value during treatment is calculated. By comparing the calculated Mahalanobis distance to a predetermined threshold value, it is judged whether the thermal plate has any extraneous matter.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To rapidly and accurately judge whether a wafer is accurately mounted on a heat plate, for suppressing the occurrence of faults in the wafer to a minimum limit. CONSTITUTION: The phenomenon, in which the temperature of the heat plate 63 drops when the wafer W is mounted on the plate 63, is utilized. A temperature sensor 73 for monitoring the temperature drop of the plate 63 is provided at the plate 63. A fault detector 77 for receiving a measured result from the sensor 73 is given as functions of calculating the area of a range surrounded by a temperature curve and a set temperature, when representing the time change of the temperature of the plate by a graph, that is, a temperature integrating area and comparing the integrated area with a preset threshold. As the threshold, a standard deviation obtained from the integrated area, when the wafer W is mounted correctly, is used. The detector 77 judges that the wafer W is not accurately mounted, when the temperature of the plate is low and when the integrated area exceeds the threshold.
