Workflow
Perform Plasma Procedure
1-2 hoursFollow the established methodology for plasma chamber preparation. Execute each substep with care, using calibrated instruments where needed. Follow plasma physics standards throughout.
Record and Analyze Results
1 hourSystematically record all measurements and observations. Cross-reference readings with expected ranges for plasma-physics.
Review Quality and Document Findings
45 minCompare collected data against reference standards. Identify any anomalies or areas needing repeat measurement. Create a complete record with all findings and next steps.

|---|---|---|
| Quality | Meet spec | Verify twice |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
| Documentation | Complete log | Photo if needed |
Pump Down First
Never ignite plasma above 1 mTorr — residual gas composition changes discharge characteristics.
Chamber Conditioning
Run a conditioning plasma on new or cleaned chambers before process runs.
UV Exposure
Plasma emits UV — keep viewport covers closed and wear UV-blocking goggles when observing.
Safety Notes
- Always use proper shielding when operating plasma sources.
- Never bypass safety interlocks on vacuum chambers.
