Zusammenfassung:Embodiments described herein provide magnetic and electromagnetic housing systems and a method for controlling the properties of plasma generated in a process volume of a process chamber to affect deposition properties of a film. In one embodiment, the method includes rotation of the rotational magnetic housing about a center axis of the process volume to create dynamic magnetic fields. The magnetic fields modify the shape of the plasma, concentration of ions and radicals, and movement of concentration of ions and radicals to control the density profile of the plasma. Controlling the density profile of the plasma tunes the uniformity and properties of a deposited or etched film.
