Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for controlling the temperature of an inductively coupled or microwave induced plasma for optical emission spectrometry or mass spectrometry in which the intensities of two spectral lines of radiation emitted by the plasma are measured, and the power provided to sustain the plasma is adjusted so that the ratio of the intensities remains substantially constant.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a plasma evaluation method that evaluates plasma P that forms a nitride film by an atomic layer deposition method. First, light emission from the plasma P generated from a gas G that contains nitrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms is detected. Then, evaluation of the plasma P is performed by using a result of comparing an intensity ratio between a first peak caused by hydrogen atoms and a second peak different from the first peak and caused by hydrogen atoms in an intensity spectrum of the detected light emission with a reference value calculated in advance from a relationship between the intensity ratio and an indicator that indicates a film quality of the nitride film.

Abstract:
The light emission analyzing device includes: a first light intensity calculation unit that performs polynomial approximation on a spectroscopic spectrum indicating a light intensity for each wavelength in a container as measured by a spectrometer so as to calculate the light intensity; a second light intensity calculation unit that subtracts, for each wavelength, the light intensity calculated by the first light intensity calculation unit from the light intensity indicated by the spectroscopic spectrum measured by the spectrometer so as to calculate a light intensity corresponding to a bright-line spectrum of a molecule; and a ratio calculation unit that calculates, by using the light intensity calculated by the second light intensity calculation unit, a ratio between (a) a peak value of a molecular spectrum of a first molecule and (b) a peak value of a molecular spectrum of a second molecule.

Abstract:
The measuring apparatus of the present invention measures the optical properties of a sample containing a fluorescent material by irradiating the sample with light containing a UV component. In the present invention are provided a first light source for irradiating the sample with light containing a UV component, a second light source for irradiating the sample with light which does not contain a UV component, light receiving element for receiving light reflected from the sample irradiated by said light sources, and output means for generating weighting coefficients for weighting the output of the light receiving element during emission by each light source. The optical properties of the sample is calculated based on the output of the light receiving element for a first light source, output of the light receiving element for a second light source, and the respective weighting coefficients. Accordingly, measurement values can be obtained which are equal to values when measurement is accomplished with a standard light source.
