摘要： There is provided by this invention an apparatus and method of supplying to ignite a plasma wherein in the event of an arc a shunt switch is used to divert the power away from the plasma that is incorporated into an over-voltage protection circuit that controls the shunt switch to act as a boost switch when the arc is extinguished such that the stored inductor energy is used to boost the ignition voltage for reigniting the plasma if it is extinguished. When the arc is extinguished, the inductor current is diminished, and the plasma is ignited, then the switch S1 is turned OFF and the inductor energy goes to the plasma and the power supply operates in its normal operating mode.

摘要： There is provided by this invention soft switching interleaved power converters that are suitable for high power and high voltage applications such as plasma processing. They have greatly reduced switching losses and diode reverse-recovery losses which allows operation at high switching frequencies. The peak values of the reverse-recovery currents of the diodes are substantially less then their peak forward operating currents. The power converters incorporate power converter cells that comprise a plurality of switching assemblies that are operated with an interleaved switching pattern, and that are each connected to an input terminal of an inductor assembly that also has a common terminal. The inductance between each pair of input terminals is less than the inductance between each input terminal and the common terminal of the inductor assembly.

摘要： An apparatus and method for controlling an application of power to power a plasma chamber. A detector detects actual power out from the power stage to the plasma chamber during a sampling interval. A compare module compares the actual power out during the sampling interval to a present power setting during the sampling interval and generates a compensation value. An adjust module updates the present power setting for the power stage with the compensation value to provide a new power setting for the power stage to control the power out from power stage to the plasma chamber during the deposition process whereby power losses occurring during the deposition process are compensated during the deposition process. If there is a fixed time period for the deposition process, the compensation method and apparatus may be used to compensate the deposition process for energy losses without extending the duration of the deposition process.
