Patent number: 8674844Abstract: Malfunction of a component within an RF-powered plasma chamber is detected by observing an operating condition of the plasma chamber and detecting when the operating condition deviates from a previously observed range bounded by lower and upper limits. The lower and upper limits are determined by observing the minimum and maximum values of that operating condition during the processing of workpieces throughout one or more plasma chamber cleaning cycles immediately preceding the most recent cleaning of the plasma chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2010Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Beom Soo Park, Hong Soon Kim, Soo Young Choi, James Hoffman, Suhail Anwar, John M.

Patent number: 8670857Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for flexible process condition monitoring. In a process that utilizes RF power, the RF power may be applied at different levels during different points in the process. Software may be programmed to facilitate the monitoring of the different points in the process so that the acceptable deviation range of the RF power for each point in the process may be set to different values. For example, one phase of the process may permit a greater range of RF power deviation while a second phase may be much more particular and permit very little deviation. By programming software to permit each phase of the process to be uniquely monitored, a more precise RF process may be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Hong Soon Kim, James Hoffman, Beom Soo Park

Patent number: 8174400Abstract: Abnormal conditions within an RF-powered plasma process chamber are detected by detecting whether the frequency of a variable-frequency RF power supply moves outside established lower and upper limits. In a first aspect, a first pair of lower and upper limits are established as a function of the frequency of the power supply sampled after a new process step begins or after a sample control signal changes state. In a second aspect, a second pair of lower and upper limits are not adapted to the frequency of the power supply. Both aspects preferably are used together to detect different occurrences of abnormal conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2011Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Beom Soo Park, Soo Young Choi, John M.
