SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING POWER SUPPLIED TO A PLASMA CHAMBER

摘要

A system and method for managing power delivered to a processing chamber is described. In one embodiment power is delivered to the processing chamber with a power cable, the power cable storing energy and including a first and second conductors, the first conductor having a first voltage polarity relative to the second conductor. The voltage polarity of the first conductor is reversed relative to the second conductor and at least a portion of the stored energy in the power cable is provided to the plasma chamber while the polarity of the first power cable is reversed.
