  • Abstract
    A principal component analysis (PCA) of plasma-generated harmonics monitored using a non-invasive ex-situ probe is reported. PCA trends due to gas pressure and RF power were demonstrated. Changes in harmonic levels during photoresist stripping have also been detected and were analysed with PCA to provide process end-point detection
