Abstract:
An advanced optical sensor and method for detection of optical events in a plasma processing system. The method includes detecting at least one light emission signal in a plasma processing chamber. The at least one detected light emission signal including light emissions from an optical event. The method further includes processing the at least one light emission signal and detecting a signature of the optical event from the processed light emission signal.
