We’ve released a new video on Sugino Seisakusho’s official YouTube channel!
This video focuses on the colors of plasma observed in sputtering systems, explaining why the colors change and how they can provide clues about the condition of the equipment.
Plasma emits different colors depending on the gas or material involved, such as argon, titanium, and nitrogen. We explore why these colors differ by examining the relationship between electron energy levels and the wavelengths of emitted light. The video also introduces practical tips for identifying equipment conditions, including possible air leaks and target replacement, by observing changes in plasma color.
[Key Highlights]
・Why plasma emission colors differ between argon, titanium, and nitrogen
・The relationship between electron energy levels, light wavelengths, and color
・How plasma emission colors can reveal equipment conditions and signs of abnormalities
・How changes in emission color can be used for equipment monitoring and anomaly detection
Understanding plasma emission colors can help you recognize changes in conditions during the deposition process. If you are interested in sputtering or thin-film deposition equipment, be sure to watch the video!
