Abstract

An electromagnetic detection device is provided. The electromagnetic detection device includes an induction coil, a converter, and a controller. The induction coil is utilized to sense an RF signal and generate a sensing RF signal by electromagnetic induction of the induction coil which is proportional to the RF signal. The RF signal is transmitted to a shower head to perform a semiconductor process on a wafer for manufacturing an IC in association with the RF signal. The converter is utilized to convert the sensing RF signal into a DC signal. The controller is utilized to determine whether the semiconductor process is normal or abnormal according to the DC signal during the semiconductor process. The semiconductor process will be terminated when the semiconductor process is determined as abnormal.
