    Abstract: A capacitive plasma discharge system employing multiple feeds of RF source power across an area of an electrode. Multiple RF feed locations across the electrode allow for control of the axial electric field across a radius at various azimuth angles of a plasma processing chamber. In an embodiment, a first RF power feed is coupled to a center of an electrode of the capacitively coupled chamber. The first RF power feed is further coupled to a first RF match network. A second RF power feed is coupled to the electrode at a first radius from the first RF power feed and at a first azimuth angle. The second RF power feed is further coupled to a second RF match network.
