Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A distributed power arrangement to provide local power delivery in a plasma processing system during substrate processing is provided. The distributed power arrangement includes a set of direct current (DC) power supply units. The distributed power arrangement also includes a plurality of power generators, which is configured to receive power from the set of DC power supply units. Each power generator of the plurality of power generators is coupled to a set of electrical elements, thereby enabling the each power generator of the plurality of power generators to control the local power delivery.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A distributed power arrangement to provide local power delivery in a plasma processing system during substrate processing, comprising: a single direct current (DC) power supply; a common rail arrangement coupled to the DC power supply; and a plurality of power generators coupled to a single chamber, said plurality of power generators being configured to receive power from said single DC power supply via the common rail arrangement, wherein each power gen…
