Provided is an apparatus for optical emission spectroscopy. The apparatus for the optical emission spectroscopy includes a light collection unit configured to collect light within a plasma process chamber in which plasma is generated to process a substrate, a light transmission unit configured to transmit the collected light, and an analysis unit configured to analyze the light provided through the light transmission unit, thereby analyzing a plasma state. The light collection unit includes a light collection part configured to concentrate the light generated in the plasma process chamber and provide the concentrated light to the light transmission unit.

Apparatus for optical emission spectroscopy

Provided are a tube-type lens usable for accurately detecting a plasma state in a plasma process, an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) apparatus including the tube-type lens, a plasma monitoring system including the OES apparatus, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by using the plasma monitoring system. The tube-type lens includes: a cylindrical tube; a first lens disposed at an entrance of the cylindrical tube, on which light is incident, the first lens including a central portion which prevents transmission of the light and a second lens disposed at an exit of the cylindrical tube, from which the light exits.
