A method for processing integrated circuit devices. The method includes providing
a monitor wafer, which comprising a silicon material. The method introduces a plurality
of particles within a depth of the silicon material. The plurality of particles
have a reduced activation energy within the silicon material. The method subjects
the monitor wafer including the plurality of particles into a rapid thermal anneal
process. The method includes applying the rapid thermal anneal process at a first
state including a first temperature. The first temperature is within a range defined
as a low temperature range, which is less than 650 Degrees Celsius. The method
includes removing the monitor wafer and measuring a sheet resistivity of the monitor
wafer. The method also determines the first temperature within a tolerance of less
than 2 percent across the monitor wafer. The method operates the rapid thermal
process using a plurality of production wafers if the first temperature is within
a tolerance of a specification temperature.
