Abstract:
In some embodiments, a system includes (1) a controller configured to receive information regarding substrate uniformity; (2) a processing tool configured to perform a semiconductor device manufacturing process on a substrate; and (3) a laser delivery mechanism coupled to the controller, the laser delivery mechanism configured to selectively deliver laser energy to the substrate during processing within the processing tool so as to selectively heat the substrate during processing. The controller is configured to employ the substrate uniformity information to determine a temperature profile to apply to the substrate during processing within the processing tool and to employ the laser delivery mechanism to selectively heat the substrate during processing within the processing tool based on the temperature profile. Numerous other embodiments are provided.
