Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatus, systems and methods for managing organic compounds in thermal processing chambers. A gas line can be in fluid communication with the thermal processing chamber and an exhaust pump can be coupled to the thermal processing chamber by an exhaust conduit and controlled by an effluent flow control valve. The apparatus includes a sampling line with an organic compound sensor coupled to the exhaust conduit. The organic compound sensor can be in communication with a control module which can control operating parameters for processing a substrate.
