Abstract:
A substrate processing tool configured for performing integrated substrate processing and substrate metrology, and methods of processing a substrate. The substrate processing tool includes a substrate transfer chamber, a plurality of substrate processing chambers coupled to the substrate transfer chamber, and a substrate metrology module coupled to the substrate transfer chamber. A substrate processing method includes processing a substrate in a first substrate processing chamber of a substrate processing tool, transferring the substrate from the first substrate processing chamber through a substrate transfer chamber to a substrate metrology module in the substrate processing tool, performing metrology on the substrate in the substrate metrology module, transferring the substrate from the substrate metrology module to a second substrate processing chamber through the substrate transfer chamber, and processing the substrate in the second substrate processing chamber.
