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 8):
The plasma source assembly of claim  7 , further comprising:\n a first matching network that is disposed between the first RF generator and the first connection point; and a second matching network that is disposed between the second RF generator and the second connection point, wherein the phase detector is configured to detect the phase of the output from the first RF generator at a point between the first matching network and the first connection point, and detect the phase of the output from the second RF generator at a point between the second matching network and the second connection point.
