  • Patent number: 8710824
    Abstract: A voltage detector having a voltage detection printed board including a board having a penetration hole that penetrates the board, a first pattern wire formed at a periphery of the penetration hole, a second pattern wire formed at the periphery of the penetration hole, and a plurality of through holes that penetrate the board between the first and second pattern wires. Also provided is a conductive casing in which the voltage detection printed board is fixed, wherein, when a conductor, in which AC voltage is generated, is disposed to pass through the penetration hole, the pattern wires act with the conductor to function as electrodes of a capacitor.

  • Patent number: 8686711
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a high frequency measuring device so as to accurately measure plasma processing parameters within a chamber. A calibration parameter is calculated from a first set of three reference loads measured by a high frequency measurement device. A second calibration parameter is calculated from S parameters measured between a connection point where the high-frequency measuring device is connected and the inside of the chamber of a plasma processing device. A second set of three reference loads, which include the impedance previously calculated and encompass a range narrower than that encompassed by the first set of three reference loads, is measured with the reference loads in the chamber.

  • Patent number: 8134816
    Abstract: A high-frequency power supply system includes an anomaly detector 3 which detects an anomaly occurring in a circuit on the side of a load L as from an outputting end A of a high-frequency power source 1. The anomaly detector 3 includes a first detector 21 which detects a voltage value Vf of a high-frequency forward wave, a second detector 22 which detects a voltage value Vr of a high-frequency reflected wave, a reflection coefficient calculator 23 and a differentiator 24 which calculate a reflection coefficient differential value d?/dt from the forward wave voltage value Vf and the reflected wave voltage value Vr, and an anomaly determiner 25 which determines of an occurrence of an anomaly based on the reflection coefficient differential value d?/dt. When the anomaly detector 3 outputs an anomaly detection signal to the high-frequency power source 1, high-frequency power source 1 stops its power output operation.

  • Publication number: 20110234201
    Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a high-frequency, measuring device so as to accurately measure high-frequency parameters within a chamber. A calibration parameter is calculated from impedance of a first set of three reference loads measured by a high-frequency measuring device and the true values of those impedances. A calibration parameter is calculated from an S parameter measured between a connection point where the high-frequency measuring device is connected and the inside of the chamber of a plasma processing device. An impedance within the chamber is calculated from a voltage signal and a current signal calibrated using the above calibration parameters. A second set of three reference loads, which include the impedance calculated in Step 5 and encompass a range narrower than that encompassed by the first set of three reference loads, is determined.
