DISTRIBUTED MULTI-ZONE PLASMA SOURCE SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS

摘要

Broadly speaking, the present invention fills these needs by providing a distributed multi-zone plasma source. It should be appreciated that the present invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, computer readable media, or a device. Several inventive embodiments of the present invention are described below. One embodiment provides a processing chamber including multiple plasma sources in a process chamber top. Each one of the plasma sources is a ring plasma source including a primary winding and multiple ferrites. Multiple plasma chamber outlets can couple a plasma chamber of each one of the plasma sources to the process chamber.
