Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for implementing a crystal oscillator to monitor and control semiconductor fabrication processes. More specifically, a method is provided for that includes performing at least one semiconductor fabrication process on a material of an integrated circuit (IC) disposed within a processing chamber. The method further includes monitoring by at least one electronic oscillator disposed within the processing chamber for the presence or absence of a predetermined substance generated by the at least one semiconductor fabrication process. The method further includes controlling the at least one semiconductor fabrication process based on the presence or absence of the predetermined substance detected by the at least one electronic oscillator.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of detecting a photoresist in a processing chamber, comprising:\n positioning at least one electronic oscillator adjacent to a material of an integrated circuit (IC) comprising the photoresist within the processing chamber; performing a degassing process on the material of the IC within the processing chamber; monitoring with the at least one electronic oscillator for a presence or absence of a polymeric material generated from the degassing process on the photoresist; and stopping the degassing process when the presence of the polymeric material is detected based on a change in frequency of an electrical signal of the at least one electronic oscillator.
