Disclosed is a method involving repeatedly measuring a pressure within a flow of processing gas that is provided in a semiconductor processing apparatus for treatment of a semiconductor substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer. The flow of processing gas is made to extend between a surface of the substrate and a surface of a processing body. From the pressure measurements the occurrence of an event that is related to a variation in the position of the substrate's surface relative to the surface of the processing body is determined.
