ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and a concomitant method for estimating voltage on a wafer located in a process chamber. A probe, attached externally to a wall of the process chamber, detects voltage levels generated by a plasma within said process chamber. A relationship between the detected plasma voltage level and the wafer voltage is determined.
