Abstract

See full text

Capacitances in an impedance-matching box for an RF coil, in a plasma deposition system for depositing a film of sputtered target material on a substrate, can be varied during the deposition process so that the RF coil and substrate heating, and the film deposition, are more uniform due to 'time-averaging' of the RF voltage distributions along the RF coil.
