Patent ID: 8677590

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a plasma processing system with a plasma processing chamber, comprising: providing a movable plasma-facing structure configured to surround a plasma, wherein said plasma is generated during plasma processing of a substrate within said plasma processing chamber; disposing a movable electrically conductive structure outside of said movable plasma-facing structure, wherein said movable electrically conductive structure is configured to be deployed and retracted with said movable plasma-facing structure as a single unit to facilitate handling of said substrate, said movable electrically conductive structure being radio frequency (RF) grounded during said plasma processing, wherein said movable plasma-facing structure is disposed between said plasma and said movable electrically conductive structure during said plasma processing such that RF current from said plasma flows to said movable electrically conductive structure through said movable plasma-facing structure during said plasma processing; and coupling a set of conductive straps to said movable electrically conductive structure, wherein said set of conductive straps accommodates said movable electrically conductive structure when said movable electrically conductive structure is deployed and retracted while providing said RF current a low impedance path to ground.
