  • Patent number: 10408680
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for optical emission spectroscopy. The apparatus for the optical emission spectroscopy includes a light collection unit configured to collect light within a plasma process chamber in which plasma is generated to process a substrate, a light transmission unit configured to transmit the collected light, and an analysis unit configured to analyze the light provided through the light transmission unit, thereby analyzing a plasma state. The light collection unit includes a light collection part configured to concentrate the light generated in the plasma process chamber and provide the concentrated light to the light transmission unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10107681
    Abstract: Provided are a tube-type lens usable for accurately detecting a plasma state in a plasma process, an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) apparatus including the tube-type lens, a plasma monitoring system including the OES apparatus, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by using the plasma monitoring system. The tube-type lens includes: a cylindrical tube; a first lens disposed at an entrance of the cylindrical tube, on which light is incident, the first lens including a central portion which prevents transmission of the light and a second lens disposed at an exit of the cylindrical tube, from which the light exits.
