Abstract
A novel method is provided for in situ monitoring of a film being deposited on a wafer for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method involves producing an incident beam of radiation directed during a deposition process to a film being deposited on a wafer in a deposition reactor. The Raman scattered radiation resulted from interaction of the incident beam with molecules of the deposited film is detected to produce a Raman spectrum of the deposited film.
