Abstract
A method of controlling polishing includes polishing a substrate, monitoring the substrate during polishing with an in-situ monitoring system, filtering a signal from the monitoring system to generate a filtered signal, and determining at least one of a polishing endpoint or an adjustment for a polishing rate from the filtered signal. The filtering includes modelling a plurality of periodic disturbances at a plurality of different frequencies using a plurality of disturbance states, modelling an underlying signal using a plant state, and applying a linear prediction filter to the plant state and the plurality of disturbance states to generate a filtered signal representing the underlying signal.
