ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device manufacturing system has a vacuum chamber which is provided with a cathode electrode for holding a substrate to be processed and into which a reactive gas for generating discharging plasma by the application of a high-frequency electric power is introduced, a measuring circuit which measures at least one of the impedance of a system including the plasma, the peak-to-peak voltage of a high-frequency signal applied to the plasma, and a self-bias voltage applied to the cathode electrode, and a sense circuit which compares the measured value from the measuring circuit with previously prepared data and senses the change of processing characteristics with time for the substrate in using the discharging plasma or the cleaning time of the inside of the vacuum chamber.
