Abstract: A pulse plasma apparatus includes a process chamber, source RF generator configured to supply first and second level RF pulse power having first and second duty cycles to an upper electrode of the process chamber, a reflected power indicator configured to indicate reflection RF power, a first matching network, and a controller. The first matching network is configured to match an impedance of the process chamber with an impedance of the source RF generator as a first or second matching capacitance value, respectively when the first level RF pulse power or second level RF pulse power is supplied, respectively. The controller is configured to calculate a third matching capacitance value based on the first and second matching capacitance values and a ratio of the first and second duty cycles, provide the third matching capacitance values to the first matching network, and control the source RF generator and first matching network.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of plasma etching and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including the same. The method of plasma etching includes loading a substrate including an etch target onto a first electrode in a chamber, the chamber including the first electrode and a second electrode arranged to face each other, and etching the target. The etching the target includes applying a plurality of RF powers to one of the first and second electrodes. The plurality of RF powers may include a first RF power having a first frequency in a range from about 40 MHz to about 300 MHz, a second RF power having a second frequency in a range from about 100 kHz to about 10 MHz, and a third RF power having a third frequency in a range from about 10 kHz to about 5 MHz.

Abstract: Provided are a method and a system for managing semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The method may be performed using an equipment computer and may include ordering to perform a preventive maintenance to a chamber and parts in the chamber, monitoring a result of the preventive maintenance to the chamber and the parts, and performing a manufacturing process using plasma reaction in the chamber, if the result of the preventive maintenance is normal. The monitoring the result of the preventive maintenance may include a pre-screening method monitoring the result of the preventive maintenance using electric reflection coefficients obtained from the chamber and the parts without using the plasma reaction.
