Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a system for controlling a thin film formation process using a corona discharge measurement technique. The system includes a thin film formation system operative to form a thin film based on one or more process parameters, a corona discharge measurement system operable to measure one or more properties of the thin film, and a processor operatively coupled to the thin film formation system and the corona discharge measurement system, wherein the processor analyzes the data from the corona discharge measurement system and a set of target data and controls the one or more process parameters via the thin film formation system based on the analysis. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling a thin film formation using a corona discharge technique. The method includes forming a thin film based on one or more thin film formation process parameters, measuring the thin film via a corona discharge technique, analyzing the results of the corona discharge measurement, and controlling the one or more thin film formation process parameters based on the analysis.
