  • Publication number: 20190131114
    Abstract: A focus ring includes a main body, a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of power cables. The main body, made of a dielectric material, is formed as a frame structure to surround a base. The plurality of electrodes, made of metallic materials, are located inside the main body by surrounding the base, and the neighboring electrodes are separated by an interval. Each of the power cables is connected electrically with a voltage source, a control unit and at least one electrode. The voltage source inputs individual voltages to the plurality of electrodes via the plurality of respective power cables. The control unit controls the plurality of electrodes to have correspondingly a plurality of voltages.
