摘要:Methods and apparatus for spectrum-based endpointing. An endpointingmethod includes selecting two or more reference spectra. Each reference spectrum is a
spectrum of white light reflected from a film of interest on a first substrate and has athickness greater than a target thickness. The reference spectra is selected for particularspectra-based endpoint determination logic so that the target thickness is achieved whenendpoint is called by applying the particular spectra-based endpoint logic. The methodincludes obtaining two or more current spectra. Each current spectrum is a spectrum ofwhite light reflected from a film of interest on a second substrate when the film ofinterest is being subjected to a polishing step and has a current thickness that is greaterthan the target thickness. The method includes determining, for the second substrate,when an endpoint of the polishing step has been achieved.
