摘要 |
Aspects of the present invention include methods and apparatuses that may be used for monitoring and adjusting plasma in a substrate processing system by using a plasma data monitoring assembly. For example, an optical instrument adapted to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum may be used to detect one or more wavelength intensities from the plasma. Then, an electronic device, for example a computer software may analyze the wavelength intensities and a match circuit may then be adjusted. In this way, consistent plasma may be obtained. In other embodiments, the present invention may utilize the relationship between chamber pressure, substrate temperature, coil currents and/or the plasma in order to adjust and maintain a repeatable plasma process. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
