    Abstract: Embodiments provide a plasma processing apparatus, substrate support assembly, and method of controlling a plasma process. The apparatus and substrate support assembly include a substrate support pedestal, a tuning assembly that includes a tuning electrode that is disposed in the pedestal and electrically coupled to a radio frequency (RF) tuner, and a heating assembly that includes one or more heating elements disposed within the pedestal for controlling a temperature profile of the substrate, where at least one of the heating elements is electrically coupled to an RF filter circuit that includes a first inductor configured in parallel with a formed capacitance of the first inductor to ground. The high impedance of the RF filters can be achieved by tuning the resonance of the RF filter circuit, which results in less RF leakage and better substrate processing results.

    Abstract: A remote plasma source is disclosed that includes a core element and a first plasma block including one or more surfaces at least partially enclosing an annular-shaped plasma generating region that is disposed around a first portion of the core element. The remote plasma source further comprises one or more coils disposed around respective second portions of the core element. The remote plasma source further includes an RF power source configured to drive a RF power signal onto the one or more coils that is based on a determined impedance of the plasma generating region. Energy from the RF power signal is coupled with the plasma generating region via the one or more coils and the core element.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to apparatus for improving a plasma profile during plasma processing of a substrate. According to embodiments, the apparatus includes a tuning ring electrically coupled to a variable capacitor. The capacitance is controlled to control the RF and resulting plasma coupling to the tuning ring. The plasma profile and the resulting deposition film thickness across the substrate are correspondingly controlled by adjusting the capacitance and impedance at the tuning ring.
