Octiv Poly 2.0

The Octiv Poly 2.0 VI probe is a multi-frequency in-line RF voltage, current and phase measurement system with network communication (Ethernet Web Service Protocol, EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT available). With 1% true accuracy, chamber-to-chamber matching and process repeatability can be established with confidence. Uniquely convenient form-factors enable retrofitting to match box outputs to facilitate direct plasma monitoring. Issues such as product scrap events, endpoint detection errors and unnecessary preventative maintenance can all be eliminated with this advanced VI probe technology.

Key Features
Choice of 5 frequencies on a single sensor with up to 15 harmonics at each frequency.
Unrivalled power accuracy into 50 Ω and non-50 Ω load impedances through our advanced calibration methodology (1% true accuracy).
Sensor run-to-run repeatability (<0.1%), enabling a true gauge of plasma process drift.
Live Smith Chart view, with impedance accuracy comparable to offline vector network analysers.
Frequency tracking to ±10% of the fundamental frequency as standard, customisable for intermodulation frequency monitoring.
Superior Pulsed RF capability with live pulse frequency and duty cycle monitoring and “time resolved” mode.
USB, Ethernet, EtherCAT and Serial communication protocols with easy-to-use APIs for integrations.
Key Benefits
Clean and etch endpoint capabilities with Plasma Impedance Monitoring (PIM) and harmonic spectrum techniques.
Demonstrated detection of etch endpoint for <1% open area ratio, with significantly higher sensitivity compared to multivariate OES endpoint detectors.
Detects wafer placement issues, air leaks, cross-process contamination, and many other common plasma faults.
Gauges overall chamber health, removing the need for unnecessary preventative maintenance actions.
Significant cost benefits through the enablement of fault detection and early intervention.
These advanced applications can be achieved rapidly using the “Impedans Expert” software package and with assistance from the Impedans applications team.

Compatible with all QC connectors. Capable of being changed in the field, allowing the unit to be moved between chambers with different connectors if desired.

 

Power and Current limits are Frequency dependant. Values given below assume the sensor is connected into a 50 Ohm load at 13.56 MHz. Voltage Limit is the peak-peak voltage while the Current limit is the RMS current. Rating is not dependant upon the connector chosen.
