Abstract:
A radio frequency power system includes a master RF generator and an auxiliary RF generator, wherein each generator outputs a respective RF signal. The master RF generator also outputs a RF control signal to the auxiliary RF generator, and the RF signal output by the auxiliary RF generator varies in accordance with the RF control signal. The auxiliary RF generator receives sense signals indicative of an electrical characteristic of the respective RF signals output by the master RF generator and the auxiliary RF generator. The auxiliary RF generator determines a phase difference between the RF signals. The sensed electrical characteristics and the phase are used independently or cooperatively to control the phase and amplitude of the RF signal output by the auxiliary RF generator. The auxiliary generator includes an inductive clamp circuit that returns energy reflected energy back from a coupling network to a variable resistive load.

Claim (Index 23):
A RF power system for supplying a first RF power to an electrode in a load, comprising:\n a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor and configured to:\n determine whether a voltage of the first RF power equals a predetermined power setpoint, \n determine whether a phase difference between the first RF power and a second RF power equals a predetermined phase delta, and \n control at least one of: \n a phase of the first RF power in accordance with the phase difference between the first RF power and a second RF power, \n vary a DC rail voltage in order to control a RF voltage of the first RF power in accordance with an electrical characteristic of the first RF power, or \n vary a phase of the first RF power and a DC rail voltage in order to control the first RF power in accordance with both the phase difference between first RF power and the second RF power and the electrical characteristic of the first RF power.
