Abstract:
1. A plasma probe, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a first dielectric layer formed on the semiconductor substrate; at least one first electrode on the first dielectric layer; a dielectric structure on at least portions of the at least one first electrode, dimensions of the portions of the at least one first electrode along a plane of the at least one first electrode being substantially the same as corresponding dimensions of the dielectric structure along a plane of the dielectric structure that is parallel to the plane of the at least one first electrode; and at least one second electrode on the dielectric structure, dimensions of the at least one second electrode along a plane thereof being substantially the same as the corresponding dimensions of the dielectric structures, the at least one first electrode, the dielectric structure, and the at least one second electrode configured for monitoring a plasma.
