Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a plasma source assembly and process chamber design that can be used for any number of substrate processing techniques. The plasma source may include a plurality of discrete electrodes that are integrated with a reference electrode and a gas feed structure to generate a uniform, stable and repeatable plasma during processing. The plurality of discrete electrodes include an array of electrodes that can be biased separately, in groups or all in unison, relative to a reference electrode. The plurality of discrete electrodes may include a plurality of conductive rods that are positioned to generate a plasma within a processing region of a process chamber. The plurality of discrete electrodes is provided RF power from standing or traveling waves imposed on a power distribution element to which the electrodes are connected.

Claim (Index 7):
The plasma source assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the perforated plate comprises a material selected from a group consisting of silicon, silicon carbide, alumina, yttria, zirconia, silicon nitride, graphite, aluminum nitride and silicon dioxide.
