Abstract: A power converter is capable to convert an electrical input power into a bipolar output power and to deliver the bipolar output power to at least two independent plasma processing chambers. The power converter includes: a power input port for connection to an electrical power delivering grid, at least two, preferably more than two, power output ports each for connection to one of the plasma process chambers, and a controller configured to control the power converter to deliver the bipolar output power to the power output ports, using one or more control parameters selected from a list comprising: power, voltage, current, excitation frequency, and threshold for protective measures, such that at least one of the control parameters at a first power output port is different from the corresponding control parameter at a different power output port.

Abstract: A method of plasma processing a substrate in a plasma chamber is provided. The method includes the steps of supplying a power supply signal to electrodes arranged within the plasma chamber in order to form a plasma in the plasma chamber, monitoring at least one parameter related to the plasma processing, determining a feature related to the at least one monitored parameter, and adjusting the power supply signal during the plasma processing to modify, in particular reduce, the feature. The modification of the feature eliminates or mitigates formation of crazing on the substrate.

Abstract: A method adjusts an output power of a power supply supplying electrical power to a plasma in a plasma chamber. The method includes: connecting the power supply to at least one electrode in the plasma chamber; transporting one or more substrates relative to the electrode using a substrate carrier; maintaining the plasma by the electrical power; processing the one or more substrates with the plasma; and adjusting the output power based on a parameter related to a distance between a surface of the electrode facing a carrier-substrate-assembly and a surface of the substrate-carrier-assembly facing the electrode.
