Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022023122A1] The invention relates to a method for identifying substrates (3) which are faulty or have been incorrectly inserted in a CVD reactor, with the aid of one or more optical sensors (3), which sense properties of the surfaces of the substrates, for example layer thickness or temperature, before or during a treatment process of the substrates (3) within the CVD reactor housing (1). The measurement values provided by the sensors (3) can be plotted in the form of a measurement curve, and patterns are obtained from the measurement curve, each pattern corresponding to one of the substrates (3). The patterns are compared with each other or with a mean (Lm) calculated from the patterns.
