摘要： Systems and methods for pulsing radio frequency (RF) coils are described. One of the methods includes supplying a first RF signal to a first impedance matching circuit coupled to a first RF coil, supplying a second RF signal to a second impedance matching circuit coupled to a second RF coil, and pulsing the first RF signal between a first parameter level and a second parameter level. The method includes pulsing the second RF signal between a third parameter level and a fourth parameter level in reverse synchronization with the pulsing of the first RF signal.

摘要： In one embodiment, a plasma processing device may include a dielectric window, a vacuum chamber, an energy source, and at least one air amplifier. The dielectric window may include a plasma exposed surface and an air exposed surface. The vacuum chamber and the plasma exposed surface of the dielectric window can cooperate to enclose a plasma processing gas. The energy source can transmit electromagnetic energy through the dielectric window and form an elevated temperature region in the dielectric window. The at least one air amplifier can be in fluid communication with the dielectric window. The at least one air amplifier can operate at a back pressure of at least about 1 in-H2O and can provide at least about 30 cfm of air.

摘要： Multiple, sequential pulses of radiofrequency power are supplied to an electrode of a plasma processing chamber to control a plasma within the plasma processing chamber. Each of the pulses of radiofrequency power includes a first duration over which a first radiofrequency power profile exists, immediately followed by a second duration over which a second radiofrequency power profile exists. The first radiofrequency power profile has greater radiofrequency power than the second radiofrequency power profile. The first duration is less than the second duration. And, the sequential pulses of radiofrequency power are separated from each other by a third duration. A radiofrequency signal generation system is provided to generate and control the multiple, sequential pulses of radiofrequency power.

摘要： Systems and methods for synchronization of radio frequency (RF) generators are described. One of the methods includes receiving, by a first RF generator, a first recipe set, which includes information regarding a first plurality of pulse blocks for operating the first RF generator. The method further includes receiving, by a second RF generator, a second recipe set, which includes information regarding a second plurality of pulse blocks for operating a second RF generator. Upon receiving a digital pulsed signal, the method includes executing the first recipe set and executing the second recipe set. The method further includes outputting a first one of the pulse blocks of the first plurality based on the first recipe set in synchronization with a synchronization signal. The method includes outputting a first one of the pulse blocks of the second plurality based on the second recipe set in synchronization with the synchronization signal.

摘要： Systems and methods for etching different features in a substantially equal manner are described. One of the methods includes applying a low frequency bias signal during a low TCP state and applying a high frequency bias signal during a high TCP state. The application of the low frequency bias signal during the low TCP state facilitates generation of hot neutrals, which are used to increase an etch rate of etching dense features compared to an etch rate for etching isolation features. The application of the high frequency bias signal during the high TCP state facilitates generation of ions to increase an etch rate of etching the isolation features compared to an etch rate of etching the dense features. After applying the low frequency bias signal during the low TCP state and the high frequency bias signal during the high TCP state, the isolation and dense features are etched similarly.

摘要： A radio frequency (RF) matching circuit control system includes an RF matching circuit including a plurality of tunable components. The RF matching circuit is configured to receive an input signal including at least two pulsing levels from an RF generator, provide an output signal to a load based on the input signal, and match an impedance associated with the input signal to impedances of the load. A controller is configured to determine respective impedances of the load for the at least two pulsing levels of the input signal and adjust operating parameters of the plurality of tunable components to align a frequency tuning range of the RF matching circuit with the respective impedances of the load for the at least two pulsing levels to match the impedance associated with the input signal to the respective impedances.
