    Abstract: A sensor for measuring semiconductor wafer temperature in semiconductor processing equipment, comprising a first laser to provide a first laser beam at a first wavelength and a second laser to provide a second laser beam at a second wavelength. The sensor also includes laser driver and oscillator to modulate the wavelength of the first and second laser beams as the laser beams are directed to and reflected from the wafer, and detector module to measure the change in specular reflectance of the wafer resulting from the modulation of the wavelength of the first and second laser beams. The sensor system also includes signal processing circuitry to determine rms surface roughness of wafer at a known reference temperature from the change in reflectance of wafer resulting from modulation of the wavelengths of the first and second laser beams, and to determine the temperature of wafer from the change in specular reflectance of wafer resulting from modulation of the wavelengths of the first and second laser beams while wafer is at an unknown temperature and the surface roughness of the wafer at the known temperature.

    Abstract: A sensor (100) for measuring semiconductor wafer (10) temperature in semiconductor processing equipment (30), comprising a first laser (104) to provide a first laser beam at a first wavelength and a second laser (106) to provide a second laser beam at a second wavelength. The sensor also includes laser driver (108) and oscillator (110) to modulate the wavelength of the first and second laser beams as the laser beams are directed to and reflected from the wafer (10), and detector module (130) to measure the change in specular reflectance of the wafer (10) resulting from the modulation of the wavelength of the first and second laser beams. The sensor system also includes signal processing circuitry (138) to determine rms surface roughness of wafer (10) at a known reference temperature from the change in reflectance of wafer (10) resulting from modulation of the wavelengths of the first and second laser beams, and to determine the temperature of wafer (10) from the change in specular reflectance of wafer (10) resulting from modulation of the wavelengths of the first and second laser beams while wafer (10) is at an unknown temperature and the surface roughness of the wafer at the known temperature.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, there is provided a carrier comprising a top semiconductor layer having isolated positive electrode regions and isolated negative electrode regions separated by a frontside trench through the top semiconductor layer at least to an underlying insulating layer positioned between the top semiconductor layer and a bottom semiconductor layer. A dielectric layer covers the top exposed surfaces of the carrier. Backside trenches through the bottom semiconductor layer at least to the insulating layer form isolated backside regions corresponding to the frontside positive and negative electrode regions. Backside contacts positioned on the bottom semiconductor layer and coupled to the positive and negative electrode regions allow for the electric charging of the frontside electrode regions.
