description End point detection in the plasma development of photoresist is accomplished by monitoring the output of a photo- detector and sensing a plateau in the output. An evacuable chamber (11) contains a gas etchant and the material to be etched and a source of RF energy coupled to the interior of the chamber (11) for sustaining a plasma, photo-detector means '18,19) being optically coupled to the interior of the chamber (11) for producing a variable level output signal representative of the luminosity of the plasma and control means including a sensor (22) for detecting a temporary uniformity in the level of the output signal as an indication of the end of a first phase of the plasma etch.
