  • Publication number: 20240006163
    Abstract: A monitoring method includes steps of (a) placing a substrate on a mounting stage of a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus; (b) supplying a pulsed wave of RF power with a predetermined duty ratio from an RF power supply connected to an antenna; and (c) monitoring a plasma state based on a converted value of a Vpp voltage of an output terminal of a matching unit arranged between the antenna and the RF power supply. The converted value of the Vpp voltage is obtained by converting the Vpp voltage of the output terminal voltage based on the duty ratio, the RF power, and correlation information indicating a correlation between the Vpp voltage and the RF power.
