description Embodiments described herein relate to apparatus and techniques for radio frequency (RF) phase control in a process chamber. A process volume is defined in the process chamber by a faceplate electrode and a support pedestal. A grounding bowl is disposed within the process chamber about the support pedestal opposite the process volume. The grounding bowl substantially fills a volume other than the process volume below the support pedestal. A phase tuner circuit is coupled to an RF mesh disposed in the support pedestal and the faceplate electrode. The tuner circuit adjusts a phase difference between a phase of the faceplate electrode and a phase of the RF mesh.
