Abstract:
In some examples, a magnetic shield for a plasma source is provided. An example magnetic shield comprises a back-shell. The back-shell includes a cage defined, at least in part, by an arrangement of bars of ferro-magnetic material. The cage is sized and configured to at least extend over a top side of an RF source coil for the plasma source.
