Process monitoring device for sample processing apparatus and control method of sample processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A plasma processing apparatus for processing a sample within a vacuum vessel, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors for detecting plural kinds of information relating to a processing state of the sample as monitor data;
data selecting means for selecting a detection time range of the monitor data thus detected which is used for monitoring the plasma processing apparatus;
a signal filter for converting the monitor data within the selected detection time range into an effective signal;
a model expression unit for generating a predicted value of a patterned physical-shape of a sample based on the effective signal; and
a display screen for displaying the patterned physical-shape predicted value;
wherein the display screen displays the patterned physical-shape predicted value without measuring a patterned shape after processing of the sample.

Abstract
A monitor data acquisition section acquires a plurality of monitor data relating to a processing state of one sample in a processing apparatus, via sensors. A data selection section selects monitor data belonging to an arbitrary processing division included in a plurality of processing divisions for the sample, from among the plurality of monitor data. A monitoring signal generation section generates monitoring signals based on the monitor data belonging to the arbitrary processing division selected by the data selection section. A display setting controller displays a plurality of monitoring signals obtained with respect to samples processed in the processing apparatus, on a display section in a time series manner.
