Claim:
1. A plasma processing system, comprising: a process controller; a first plasma chamber comprising an electrically grounded chamber wall that forms a gas plenum for the plasma processing system; a second plasma chamber opposite the first plasma chamber comprising: a radio frequency (RF) power splitter including a conductive element configured to transmit an alternating current in a standing wave that comprises a low voltage point near a center of the conductive element, the conductive element being configured to generate a magnetic field that extends around an axis of the conductive element when the alternating current is received from a RF generator; a first inductor and a second inductor that are physically separate from the conductive element and adjacent to the low voltage point and are configured to receive the magnetic field that is generated by the conductive element, each of the inductors comprising: wherein the first end and the second end of the first inductor are coupled to the first plurality of elements, wherein the first end and the second end of the second inductor are coupled to the second plurality of elements,
