Zusammenfassung:The disclosure concerns a process ring for the wafer support pedestal of a toroidal source plasma immersion ion implantation reactor. The process ring improves edge uniformity by providing a continuous surface extending beyond the wafer edge, in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the process ring includes a floating electrode that functions as an extension of the wafer support electrode by RF coupling at the bias frequency.
