Optical wall and process sensor with plasma facing sensor
Embodiments disclosed herein include an optical sensor system for use in plasma processing tools. In an embodiment, the optical sensor system, comprises an optically clear body with a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface. In an embodiment, the optically clear body further comprises a third surface that is recessed from the second surface. In an embodiment, the optical sensor system further comprises a target over the third surface and a first reflector to optically couple the first surface to the target.
1. A plasma processing chamber, comprising:
an optical sensing system passing through a wall of the plasma processing chamber, wherein the optical sensing system comprises:
a lens;
an optically clear body adjacent to the lens, wherein the optically clear body comprises:
a first surface that faces the lens;
a second surface opposite from the first surface; and
a third surface recessed into the second surface, wherein the third surface faces a center of the processing chamber;
a target over the third surface; and
a first reflector embedded in the optically clear body.
2. The plasma processing chamber of claim 1 , wherein the optical sensing system is configured to provide a plasma condition, a wall condition, a substrate condition, or any combination thereof.
3. The plasma processing chamber of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of optical sensing systems.
4. The plasma processing chamber of claim 1 , further comprising:
a light source optically coupled to the optically clear body; and
an optical detector optically coupled to the optically clear body.
5. The plasma processing chamber of claim 1 , wherein the target is outside of the optically clear body and within the plasma processing chamber.
