Abstract
A method and a system for monitoring a plasma chamber are provided. The method includes receiving process chamber characteristics from the plasma chamber; determining whether one or more variables associated with the process chamber characteristics are within predetermined specification. The method further includes updating a status of the plasma chamber to failure when the chamber characteristics are not within the predetermined specification. The method generates a warning notification when the chamber characteristics are within predetermined specification and when an operation status of the plasma chamber received from a fault detection system indicates a failure.
