Overview


C10346-01 is Hamamatsu Photonics' plasma process monitor. It is a spectroscopic measurement system that detects plasma emission during processing in real time over a wide wavelength band.

The measurement wavelength is 200 to 950 nm, wavelength resolution 2 nm or less (FWHM) and wavelength accuracy ±0.75 nm. It has various analysis functions and can output decisions on up to 5 channels as TTL signals. The interface is USB 2.0.

It is used for endpoint detection in etching and cleaning, monitoring plasma conditions by estimating chemical species in the plasma, and detecting impurity contamination and abnormal discharge. Target processes include etching, sputtering and CVD.
