  • Patent number: 11282678
    Abstract: According to a method of controlling uniformity of plasma, a first RF driving pulse signal including first RF pulses is generated by pulsing a first RF signal having a first frequency, and a second RF driving pulse signal including second RF pulses is generated by pulsing a second RF signal having a second, lower frequency. The first and second RF driving signals are applied to a top electrode and/or a bottom electrode of a plasma chamber. A harmonic control signal including harmonic control pulses is generated based on timing of the first and second RF pulses. A harmonic component of the first and second RF driving pulse signals is reduced via intermittent activation and deactivation of a harmonic control circuit as controlled by the harmonic control signal. The uniformity of plasma is improved through the control based on timings of the RF driving pulses.
