Abstract:
Methods and systems for accurate arc detection in semiconductor manufacturing tools are disclosed. Such methods and systems provide real-time arc detection and near real-time notification for corrective actions during a semiconductor manufacturing process. Such methods and systems utilize data with high sample rate and wavelet analysis to provide for more accurate arc detection, which leads to more effective and cost efficient semiconductor manufacturing operations.
