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 16):
The plasma source assembly of  claim 14 , further comprising:\n a first circulator that includes a first, a second and a third port, wherein the first port is connected to the output of the first RF generator, the second port is connected to the first connection point, and the third port connected to a first dummy load; and a second circulator that includes a first, a second and a third port, wherein the first port is connected to the output of the second RF generator, the second port is connected to the second connection point, and the third port connected to a second dummy load.
