Abstract

The development speed of semiconductor and display device manufacturing technology is growing faster than the development speed of process equipment. So, there is a growing need for process diagnostic technology that can measure process conditions in real time and directly. In this study, a plasma diagnosis was carried out using impedance variation due to the plasma discharge. Variation of the measurement impedance appears as a voltage change at the reference impedance, and the plasma density is calculated using this. The above experiment was conducted by integrating the plasma diagnosis system and the linear atmospheric pressure DBD plasma source. It was confirmed that plasma density varies depending on various parameters (gas flow rate, $Ar/O_2$ mixture ratio, Input power).
