    • The embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a method and an apparatus to confine a plasma within a processing region in a plasma processing chamber. The apparatus may include an annular ring with a gap distance with the chamber wall at between about 0.8 inch to about 1.5 inch. In addition to the annular plasma confinement ring, the plasma can also be confined by reducing a voltage supplied to the top electrode by a voltage ratio during plasma processing and supplying the remaining voltage supplied to the top electrode at a negative phase at the substrate support and the substrate, if the substrate is present during processing. The voltage ratio can be adjusted by changing the impedances of the substrate support and the dielectric seal surrounding the top electrode. Lowering top electrode voltage by a voltage ratio and supplying the remaining voltage supplied to the top electrode at a negative phase at the substrate support reduce the amount of plasma got attracted to the grounded chamber walls and thus improves plasma confinement. This method of plasma confinement is called impedance confinement. Plasma confinement can be improved by using either the described annular ring, the impedance confinement scheme or a combination of both.
    • 本发明的实施例一般涉及在等离子体处理室中的处理区域内限制等离子体的方法和装置。 该装置可以包括环形环,其具有在室壁之间的间隔距离在约0.8英寸至约1.5英寸之间。 除了环形等离子体限制环之外,等离子体还可以通过在等离子体处理期间通过降低施加到顶部电极的电压比例的电压来提供约束,并且在衬底支撑件处以负相位提供提供给顶部电极的剩余电压, 如果衬底在加工过程中存在的话。 可以通过改变衬底支撑件和围绕顶部电极的电介质密封件的阻抗来调节电压比。 通过电压比降低顶部电极电压并且在衬底支架处以负相位提供提供给顶部电极的剩余电压减少了被吸引到接地室壁的等离子体的量,从而改善了等离子体约束。 这种等离子体约束的方法被称为阻抗限制。 通过使用所描述的环形环,阻抗约束方案或两者的组合可以改善等离子体约束。
