发明名称 MULTI-RANGE VOLTAGE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR A VOLTAGE CONTROLLED INTERFACE OF A PLASMA PROCESSING SYSTEM
摘要 A voltage sensor for a voltage controlled interface of a plasma processing system. The voltage sensor receives a RF signal generated by a pickup device. The RF signal is indicative of a RF voltage provided at a substrate in a plasma chamber. The voltage sensor includes first and second dividers corresponding to first and second channels and having first and second capacitance ratios. The dividers receive the RF signal and respectively generate first and second reduced voltage signals. A first output of the first channel outputs a first output signal based on the first reduced voltage signal and while the RF signal is in a first voltage range. A second output of the second channel outputs a second output signal based on the second reduced voltage signal and while the RF signal is in a second voltage range.

主权项 1. A voltage sensor configured for a voltage controlled interface of a plasma processing system, wherein the voltage sensor is configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal generated by a pickup device, and wherein the received RF signal is indicative of a RF voltage provided at a substrate in a plasma chamber, the voltage sensor comprising: a first divider corresponding to a first channel and having a first capacitance ratio, wherein the first divider is configured to receive the RF signal generated by the pickup device, wherein the first divider generates a first reduced voltage signal; a second divider corresponding to a second channel and having a second capacitance ratio, wherein the second divider is configured to receive the RF signal generated by the pickup device, and wherein the second divider generates a second reduced voltage signal; a first output of the first channel configured to output a first output signal based on the first reduced voltage signal and while the received RF signal is in a first voltage range; and a second output of the second channel configured to output a second output signal based on the second reduced voltage signal and while the received RF signal is in a second voltage range, wherein the second voltage range is different than the first voltage range.
