    摘要: A method is provided for determining the end point during cleaning etching of processing chambers by means of plasma etching, which is used for carrying out coating or etching processes during the manufacture of semiconductor components. The invention provides a method for effectively and reliably determining the end point during cleaning etching of processing chambers. The end point is determined by monitoring the DC bias voltage on the plasma generator which is used for the plasma cleaning etching in the processing chamber in an evaluation unit. The plasma cleaning etching process is terminated by stopping the supply of the process gases in the gas supply unit and by switching off the plasma generator upon reaching a predetermined DC bias voltage value which corresponds to completion of the cleaning etching process.

    摘要: Detecting arcing events in a DC driven semiconductor tool is a challenging process. Various embodiments comprise dedicated sensor devices capable of detecting arcing events by observing the slope of voltage and/or current of a DC power supply line. Using the incorporated interfaces, the sensor could be connected to a computer system. Besides the detector arrangement the unit also provides a method and a corresponding computer program product. Furthermore a simple detection, the unit has the capability of separating the events into its severeness.
