Abstract

See full text

The disclosure discusses impedance matching circuits based on parallel-resonant L-C tank circuits, and describes a low-loss design for an adjustable inductance element suitable for use in these parallel tank circuits. The application of an impedance matching circuit to a plasma process is also disclosed; in this context, a local impedance transformation circuit is used to improve power transfer to the plasma source antenna.
