Abstract

Systems and methods for using a transformer to achieve uniformity in substrate processing are described. One of the systems includes a primary winding having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to an output of an impedance matching circuit, and the second end is coupled to a capacitor. The system also includes a secondary winding associated with the primary winding, and the secondary winding is coupled to a first end and a second end of a transformer coupled plasma (TCP) coil of the plasma chamber. The primary winding receives a modified radio frequency (RF) signal from the impedance matching circuit to generate a magnetic flux to induce a voltage in the secondary winding. An RF signal generated by the voltage is transmitted from the secondary winding to the TCP coil.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described in this disclosure relate to systems and methods that use transformers to achieve uniformity in substrate processing. Background technique [0002] The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. The work of the presently named inventors is neither expressly nor implicitly acknowledged as prior art to the present disclosure to the extent that it is described in this Background section and in aspects of the specification that were not identified as prior art at the time of filing the application. technology. [0003] In a plasma tool, one or more radio frequency (RF) generators are coupled to an impedance matching network. The impedance matching network is coupled to the plasma chamber. An RF signal is supplied to the impedance matching network from an RF generator. The impedance matching network outputs the RF signal after receiving the RF signal. The RF sig...
