Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate semiconductor manufacturing and processing. More particularly, a processing systems for auto correcting misalignments of substrates in process chambers is provided. The processing system includes a process chamber having a substrate support disposed within a chamber volume of the process chamber. The substrate support includes a pocket for receiving a substrate, and a plurality of flow conduits extending between a top surface of the pocket and a bottom surface of the substrate support. An imaging device is coupled to the process chamber and configured to monitor a position of a substrate when loaded in the pocket of the substrate support.
