A measuring device incorporating a substrate with sensors that measure the
processing conditions that a wafer may undergo during manufacturing. The
substrate can be inserted into a processing chamber by a robot head and
the measuring device can transmit the conditions in real time or store
the conditions for subsequent analysis. Sensitive electronic components
of the device can be distanced or isolated from the most deleterious
processing conditions in order increase the accuracy, operating range,
and reliability of the device. Isolation may be provided by vacuum or
suitable material and phase change material may be located adjacent to
electronics to maintain a low temperature.
