  • Patent number: 7285916
    Abstract: A multi-chamber plasma process system includes a plurality of process chambers, each of which has an inductively coupled plasma generator. The inductively coupled plasma generator is electrically connected to a main power supply through a first impedance matcher. The first impedance matcher has at least one variable inductor. Ignition electrodes of the inductively coupled plasma generators are connected in parallel with an ignition power supply configured as a variable transformer. The variable inductor of the first impedance matcher and the variable transformer of the ignition power supply are controlled by a controller. Each process chamber has a plasma density regulator. Power supply systems, including an ignition power source, a radio frequency (RF) power source, an impedance matcher, etc. can be effectively integrated. As a result, it is possible to decrease the area of facilities and the cost of the system, and to individually control the plasma density of each process chamber.
