Abstract

A device for measuring a density of plasma is provided. The device includes a first sensor configured to measure a microwave spectrum of an input port reflection parameter of plasma, the first sensor having a probe including a conductive material and a flat plate shape, and a second sensor configured to measure an optical signal generated from the plasma, the second sensor being configured to detect the optical signal through the probe of the first sensor.
