摘要： Embodiments disclosed herein include a plasma source, an abatement system and a vacuum processing system for abating compounds produced in semiconductor processes. In one embodiment, a plasma source includes a dielectric tube and a coil antenna surrounding the tube. The coil antenna includes a plurality of turns, and at least one turn is shorted. Selectively shorting one or more turns of the coil antenna helps reduce the inductance of the coil antenna, allowing higher power to be supplied to the coil antenna that covers more processing volume. Higher power supplied to the coil antenna and larger processing volume lead to an improved DRE.

摘要： A plasma ignition circuit includes a transformer having a primary coil configured to couple an RF power supply. A first secondary coil is configured to couple a remote plasma source (RPS), and a second secondary coil. The plasma ignition circuit further includes a control switch having an input configured to couple the second secondary coil and an output configured to capacitively couple the RPS and a switch controller. The switch controller is configured to upon sensing a secondary RF voltage applied to the second secondary coil in response to an RF voltage applied by RF power supply to the primary coil, enable the control switch to capacitively apply the secondary RF voltage to the RPS to ignite a plasma within the RPS. Upon sensing a drop in plasma impedance when the plasma is ignited, disable the control switch to discontinue applying the secondary RF voltage to the RPS.
