A novel industry compatible plasma probe for the simultaneous determination of the most important process parameters for supervision and control of technical plasmas is presented in this paper. 3D-electromagnetic field simulations are used for optimization of the so called multipole resonance probe. In addition, the influence of different parameters of a modelled plasma on the probe is investigated. Good agreements between simulations and measurements of a prototype in a double inductive coupled plasma confirm the observed behaviour within the simulated plasmas. This allows an efficient preliminary investigation of the probe. © 2012 EUROPEAN MICROWAVE ASSOC.
