    摘要: A plasma reactor has a dual frequency plasma RF bias power supply furnishing RF bias power comprising first and second frequency components, f(1), f(2), respectively, and an RF power path having an input end coupled to the plasma RF bias power supply and an output end coupled to the wafer support pedestal, and sensor circuits providing measurement signals representing first and second frequency components of a measured voltage and first and second frequency components of a measured current near the input end of the RF power path. The reactor further includes a processor for providing first and second frequency components of a wafer voltage signal as, respectively, a first sum of the first frequency components of the measured voltage and measured current multiplied by first and second coefficients respectively, and a second sum of the second frequency components of the measured voltage and measured current multiplied by third and fourth coefficients, respectively. A processor produces a D.C. wafer voltage by combining D.C. components of the first and second frequency components of the wafer voltage with an intermodulation correction factor that is the product of the D.C. components of the first and second components of the wafer voltage raised to a selected power and multiplied by a selected coefficient.

    摘要: In one implementation, a method is provided for testing a plasma reactor multi-frequency matching network comprised of multiple matching networks, each of the multiple matching networks having an associated RF power source and being tunable within a tunespace. The method includes providing a multi-frequency dynamic dummy load having a frequency response within the tunespace of each of the multiple matching networks at an operating frequency of its associated RF power source. The method further includes characterizing a performance of the multi-frequency matching network based on a response of the multi-frequency matching network while simultaneously operating at multiple frequencies.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating and controlling a plasma in a semiconductor substrate processing chamber using a dual frequency RF source is provided. The method includes the steps of supplying a first RF signal from the source to an electrode within the processing chamber at a first frequency and supplying a second RF signal from the source to the electrode within the processing chamber at a second frequency. The second frequency is different from the first frequency by an amount equal to a desired frequency. Characteristics of a plasma formed in the chamber establish a sheath modulation at the desired frequency.
