    摘要: A guided wave applicator comprising two electrically conductive waveguide walls and a waveguide dielectric. The volume of the waveguide dielectric is composed of non-gaseous dielectric material and is positioned between the two waveguide walls. The waveguide dielectric includes first and second longitudinal ends and includes first, second, third and fourth sides extending longitudinally between the two longitudinal ends. The first waveguide wall is positioned so that it covers the first side of the waveguide dielectric, and the second waveguide wall is positioned so that it covers the second side of the waveguide dielectric. In operation, electrical power can be supplied to one or both longitudinal ends of the waveguide dielectric, whereby the power can be coupled to a plasma through the exposed sides of the waveguide dielectric.

    摘要: A plasma source includes upper and lower portions. In a first aspect, an electrical power source supplies greater power to the upper portion than to the lower portion. In a second aspect, the plasma source includes three or more power couplers that are spaced apart vertically, wherein the number of plasma power couplers in the upper portion is greater than the number of plasma power couplers in the lower portion. The upper and lower portions of the plasma source can be defined as respectively above and below a horizontal geometric plane that bisects the vertical height of the plasma source. Alternatively, the upper and lower portions can be defined as respectively above and below a horizontal geometric plane that bisects the combined area of first and second workpiece positions.

    摘要: A plurality of RF power signals have the same RF frequency as a reference RF signal and are coupled to respective RF connection points on an electrode of a plasma chamber. At least three of the RF connection points are not collinear. At least two of the RF power signals have time-varying phase offsets relative to the reference RF signal that are distinct functions of time. Such time-varying phase offsets can produce a spatial distribution of plasma in the plasma chamber having better time-averaged uniformity than the uniformity of the spatial distribution at any instant in time.

    摘要: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores an update management program for causing an update on control program, which is installed on each of image processing devices. The update management program, when executed by a processor, causes the computer to: acquire an update program and update function information regarding functions to be updated by the update program from a firmware distribution server; acquire device function information regarding functions of each image processing device from the each image processing device; transmit the update program to the each image processing device; determine an update sequence of timing for causing the each image processing device to update its control program, based on the acquired update function information and the acquired device function information; and cause the each image processing device to update its control program by executing the transmitted update program in accordance with the determined update sequence of timing.
