Abstract:
1. A radio frequency (RF) power splitter, comprising: a conductive element configured to transmit alternating current in a standing wave that comprises a low voltage point near a center portion 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; an inductor that is physically separate from the conductive element and adjacent to the low voltage point and is configured to receive the magnetic field that is generated by the conductive element, the inductor comprising: a first current output configured to be coupled to a first antenna within a plasma process chamber and to the first end of the inductor; and a second current output configured to be coupled to a second antenna within the plasma process chamber and to the second end of the inductor.
