Publication number: 20240096608Abstract: A plasma monitoring system includes a monitoring device and a control device. The monitoring device is a device to be placed on a stage in the plasma processing apparatus. The monitoring device includes a plate-shaped base substrate, and a plurality of spectroscopes having optical axes facing upward on the base substrate, and being disposed apart from each other to acquire light emission intensities of the plasma. The control device acquires light emission intensity distribution data of the plasma in the plasma processing apparatus based on the light emission intensity acquired by each of the plurality of spectroscopes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Satoru TERUUCHI, Jun HIROSE, Kazuya NAGASEKI, Shinji HIMORI
