Based on the concept of active plasma resonance spectroscopy (APRS) the Multipole Resonance Probe (MRP) has been introduced as a diagnostic tool for electron density measurements. In recent years efforts in modeling, simulation, and experiments lead to advances in understanding and design of the MRP. In this contribution, its application in industrial processes such as sputtering and plasma ion assisted deposition (PIAD) is presented. The probe is insensitive against dielectric coatings and can be adapted as a highly functional and fast diagnostic system for such deposition processes, where other diagnostics, e. g. Langmuir probes, fail. It can be used for real-time process monitoring and has been tested in control loops to stabilize deposition processes. Further challenges for both academia and industry are addressed such as the temperature stability. Funded by BMBF (13N13212)
