  • METHOD FOR MONITORING PROCESS CONDITIONS OF, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING, A PLASMA PVD PROCESS
    Publication number: 20230151476
    Abstract: A method (200) for monitoring process conditions in a plasma PVD process as well as a method (300) for controlling a plasma PVD process are disclosed. The methods are performed in an apparatus (1) configured therefore. In accordance with the methods, an oscillating voltage signal is applied to a target (3), arranged in the apparatus (1), by means of a radio frequency generator 15). The response from the applied oscillating voltage signal is recorded by means of a radio frequency sensor (16). Based on the recorded response, information regarding at least one plasma process condition is derived. A computer program and a computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
