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 1):
A RF system comprising:\n a first RF generator connected to a first electrode of a load and generating a first RF signal to the first electrode; a second RF generator connected to a second electrode of a load and generating a second RF signal to the second electrode, wherein the first and second RF generators provide a respective RF voltage to the first and second electrodes; and a controller for controlling the second RF generator, the controller generating a control signal to at least one of the first RF generator or the second RF generator, wherein the first RF generator and the second RF generator operate at substantially a same frequency in accordance with a RF control signal communicated from the first RF generator to the second RF generator.
