Abstract

Although radiometric temperature measurement in rapid thermal processing (RTP) tools has substantially improved in terms of repeatability and uniformity, it still remains a technical challenge. The 1999 requirements of 180 nm line width technology in the 1997 National Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (NTRS) imply an uncertainty of ± 2 °C in temperature measurement, which will continue the challenge in temperature measurement. In this paper we will discuss the NIST absolute radiometric temperature calibration, measurements, and uncertainty analysis.
