Abstract

A method of characterizing plasmas during semiconductor processes may include receiving operating conditions for a semiconductor process, where the semiconductor process may be configured to generate a plasma inside of a chamber of a semiconductor processing system. The method may also include providing the operating conditions for the semiconductor process as inputs to a model, where the model may have been trained to characterize plasmas in the chamber. The method may also include generating, using the model, a characterization of the plasma in the chamber resulting from the operating conditions of the semiconductor process.
