Abstract
Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. For example, a method for processing a substrate comprises performing a first vacuum processing procedure on a substrate, obtaining temperature measurements of the substrate from a vacuum thermocouple, obtaining temperature measurements of the substrate from a non-contact infrared sensor, calibrating the non-contact infrared sensor based on the temperature measurements from the vacuum thermocouple and the temperature measurements from the non-contact infrared sensor, and performing a second vacuum processing procedure on the substrate using the calibrated non-contact infrared sensor.
