Power delivery system, non transitory tangible processor readable storage medium, and power control system of power delivery system

Abstract

Plasma processing systems and power delivery methods are disclosed. A system may comprise at least one modulating supply that modulates plasma properties where the modulation of the plasma properties has a repetition period, T. Electrical characteristics of an output of the modulating supply are monitored and provided to a controller where the electrical characteristics are analyzed. Characteristics of a waveform with the repetition period T are communicated to at least one piece of equipment connected to plasma processing system to enable synchronization of pieces of equipment connected to the plasma processing system. And in addition, instructions are relayed to the modulating supply and a match network, based on the analyzing of the electrical characteristics, enabling simultaneous tuning of the modulating supply and the match network.
