Abstract:
Systems and methods for adjusting impedances or power or a combination thereof across multiple plasma processing stations are described. One of the systems includes a first radio frequency (RF) generator that generates a first RF signal having a first frequency, a second RF generator that generates a second RF signal having a second frequency, and a first matching network coupled to the first RF generator to receive the first RF signal. The first impedance matching network outputs a first modified RF signal upon receiving the first RF signal. The system further includes a second matching network coupled to the second RF generator to receive the second RF signal. The second matching network outputs a second modified RF signal upon receiving the second RF signal. The system further includes a combiner and distributor coupled to an output of the first matching network and an output of the second matching network.

Claim (Index 13):
A method comprising:\n receiving a first modified radio frequency (RF) signal of a first frequency from a first matching network to output a first plurality of RF signals; receiving a second modified RF signal of a second frequency from a second matching network to output a second plurality of RF signals; combining each of the second plurality of RF signals with a corresponding one of the first plurality of RF signals to output a corresponding one of a plurality of combined RF signals; and providing one of the plurality of combined RF signals to one of a plurality of dummy loads instead of a corresponding one of a plurality of plasma processing stations; and providing remaining ones of the plurality of combined RF signals to remaining ones of the plurality of plasma processing stations.
