MULTIPLE PHASE RF POWER FOR ELECTRODE OF PLASMA CHAMBER

RF power is coupled with different phase offsets to different RF connection points on an electrode of a plasma chamber. Preferably, the number of different RF connection points and corresponding phase offsets is at least four, and the positions of the RF connection points are distributed along two o...

Zusammenfassung:RF power is coupled with different phase offsets to different RF connection points on an electrode of a plasma chamber. Preferably, the number of different RF connection points and corresponding phase offsets is at least four, and the positions of the RF connection points are distributed along two orthogonal dimensions of the electrode. Preferably, power to each respective RF connection point is supplied by a respective RF power supply, wherein each power supply synchronizes its phase to a common reference RF oscillator.
