Abstract

A plasma process power delivery system includes one or more event-ascertaining devices within the plasma process power delivery system, a controller in communication with the one or more event ascertaining devices, a first memory, a second memory, a data transmission connection, and a plasma process monitoring system. The data transmission connection is between the first memory and the second memory and is configured to transmit data relating to the plasma process power delivery system between the first memory and the second memory in response to an occurrence of a predefined event ascertained by one or more event-ascertaining devices. The plasma process monitoring system is in communication with the second memory and analyzes circumstances associated with the event that triggers the storage in the second memory using the data stored in the second memory.
