Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for performing data management in a plasma processing system, said method comprising: communicably coupling a computing device with said plasma processing system, said plasma processing system having or being coupled with a plurality of components; providing said computing device with a recipe-and-component control module (RACCM), said RACCM including sending said data file to said at least one of said intelligent agents of said plurality of intelligent agents by said at least one component of said plurality of components; analyzing said data file of processed data for a predefined interval by said at least one of said intelligent agent of said plurality of intelligent agents to define a signature data; generating a composite signature from said signature data, wherein said composite signature is created by said coordinating agent; and, if said composite signature indicates an action is required, sending a message to said at least one component of said plurality of components to perform said action.
