Let’s Talk About… getting to know your plasma
Plasma diagnostics
There’s no denying that plasmas look good, but did you know that a simple visual inspection of the plasma can provide a great deal of useful diagnostic information. Getting to know the plasma’s visual characteristics can also help to diagnose early problems before they become an issue. Let’s talk about a few of the main factors that affect how the plasma looks: (i) power, (ii) pressure, (iii) process gas and (iv) pump down curves.
