description The present invention is a thin film deposition tool with arc detection capabilities. An arc detector is provided in the power supply line between the power supply and the sputter deposition tool. Arcs are detected by the arc detector and counted using a logic circuit. Arc data is collected and analyzed and real-time data is provided which can be used to stop further processing until a repair is made.
