ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining a substrate type during a seasoning process is presented. An optical signal is acquired from a process in a plasma processing system, and the optical signal is compared to a pre-determined threshold value. Depending upon the comparison, the substrate type is determined to be of a correct type, or an incorrect type.
