We present a non-invasive approach for monitoring plasma parameters such as the electron temperature and density inside a radio-frequency (RF) plasma nitridation device using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) in conjunction with multivariate data analysis. Instead of relying on a theoretical model of the plasma emission to extract plasma parameters from the OES, an empirical correlation was established on the basis of simultaneous OES and other diagnostics. Additionally, we developed a machine learning (ML)-based virtual metrology model for real-time Te and ne monitoring in plasma nitridation processes using an in situ OES sensor. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of electron density was 97% and that of electron temperature was 90%. This method is especially useful in plasma processing because it provides in-situ and real-time analysis without disturbing the plasma or interfering with the process.

ABSTRACTLead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films have been grown by rf magnetron sputtering on Si substrates from a metallic target of nominal composition Pb1.1(Zr0.4 Ti0.6 in a reactive argon / oxygen gas mixture. During plasma deposition, in situ Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) measurements show clearly a correlation between the evolution of characteristic atomic emission line intensities (Zr - 386.4 nm, Ti - 399.9 nm, Pb - 405.8 nm and O - 777.2 nm) and the thin-film composition determined by a simultaneous use of Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA).
