摘要: An apparatus for providing signals to a device may include one or more radiofrequency signal generators, and electrically-small transmission line, which couples signals from the one or more RF signal generators to the fabrication chamber. The apparatus may additionally include a reactive circuit to transform impedance of the electrically-small transmission line from a region of relatively high impedance-sensitivity to region of relatively low impedance-sensitivity.

摘要: An apparatus and method for performing closed-loop multiple-output control of radio frequency (RF) matching for a semiconductor wafer fabrication process is provided. An apparatus for providing signals to a station of a process chamber performs semiconductor fabrication processes. A plurality of signal generators generates signals having first and second frequencies. A measurement circuit measures a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). A match reflection optimizer has a reactive component configured to be adjusted responsive to an output signal from the measurement circuit.

摘要: A multi-signal radio frequency (RF) source includes an RF source; and a switch including an input in communication with an output of the RF source, a first output and a second output. The switch is configured to selectively connect the input to one of the first output and the second output. An RF generator in communication with the first output of the multi-signal RF source is configured to generate plasma in a processing chamber. A remote plasma generator in communication with the second output of the multi-signal RF source is configured to supply remote plasma to the processing chamber.

摘要: A circuit tuning radio frequency (RF) power. The circuit includes a low to mid frequency (LF/HF) tuning circuit including a variable LF/MF capacitor coupled in series with an LF/MF inductor. The LF/MF tuning circuit is coupled between ground and a common node configured to receive an RF input. The circuit includes a high frequency (HF) tuning circuit coupled in parallel to the LF/MF tuning circuit between ground and the common node. The HF tuning circuit includes a variable HF capacitor coupled in series with an HF inductor. Cross parallel isolation occurs between the LF/MF inductor of the LF/MF tuning circuit and the HF inductor of the HF tuning circuit when adjusting the variable LF/MF capacitor or variable HF capacitor.
