Title:
DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NON-INVASIVE PLASMA PROCESS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/080089
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a diagnostic method and apparatus for a non-invasive plasma process capable of monitoring a plasma process in real time by measuring a surface wave resonance frequency generated in a plasma-sheath on the basis of the surface wave resonance principle. The diagnostic method for a non-invasive plasma process, according to the present invention, may comprise: a step of installing at least one probe on one side of an electrostatic chuck (ESC) or on an inner wall of a chamber (S10); a step of projecting a high frequency onto plasma or a sheath by means of the probe (S20); and a step in which the probe detects a frequency reflected from the plasma or the sheath (S30). In addition, the diagnostic method for a non-invasive plasma process may comprise the steps of: extracting a reflectance spectrum according to frequency by using the frequency detected by the probe (S40); extracting a surface wave resonance frequency of the plasma-sheath by using the frequency detected by the probe or the reflectance spectrum (S50); and extracting electron density or uniformity of the plasma on the basis of the surface wave resonance frequency (S60).
