  • Patent number: 11961720
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multi-channel device for detecting plasma at an ultra-fast speed, including: a first antenna module connected to a first output terminal in contact with a substrate on a chuck of a process chamber and extending to ground, and receiving a first leakage current leaking through the substrate to increase reception sensitivity of the leakage current; a first current detection module detecting the first leakage current; a current measurement module receiving the first leakage current output from the first current detection module, and extracting the received first leakage current for each predetermined period to generate a first leakage current measurement information; and a control module comparing the first leakage current measurement information with a reference value to generate first arcing occurrence information.

  • Publication number: 20230413545
    Abstract: A three-dimensional semiconductor device includes a first gate group on a lower structure and a second gate group on the first gate group. The first gate group includes first pad regions that are: (1) lowered in a first direction that is parallel to an upper surface of the lower structure and (2) raised in a second direction that is parallel to an upper surface of the lower structure and perpendicular to the first direction. The second gate group includes second pad regions that are sequentially raised in the first direction and raised in the second direction.
