Abstract: In one embodiment, an impedance matching network includes a mechanically variable capacitor (MVC), a second variable capacitor, and a control circuit. The control circuit carries out a first process of determining a second variable capacitor configuration for reducing a reflected power at the RF source output, and altering the second variable capacitor to the second variable capacitor configuration. The control circuit also carries out a second process of determining an RF source frequency, and, upon determining that the RF source frequency is outside, at a minimum, or at a maximum of a predetermined frequency range, determining a new MVC configuration to cause the RF source frequency, according to an RF source frequency tuning process, to be altered to be within or closer to the predetermined frequency range. The determination of the new MVC configuration is based on the RF source frequency and the predetermined frequency range.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method for impedance matching. The RF source provides at least two repeating, non-zero pulse levels, including a high-priority pulse level and a low-priority pulse level. The matching network comprises at least one EVC, which comprises discrete capacitors configured to switch in and out to provide a plurality of match configurations. Each EVC has a switching limit comprising a predetermined number of switches in or out of the EVC's discrete capacitors in a prior time interval. Upon determining that switching to a new match configuration would cause an EVC to reach the switching limit, the method determines whether the new match configuration is for the low- or high-priority pulse level. If for the low-priority pulse level, the method prevents the switching of the EVC. If for the high-priority pulse level, the method switches the EVC to the new match configuration.
