Apparatus and methods for manipulating power at an edge ring in a plasma processing device
Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate positioned on a substrate support assembly are provided. For example, a substrate support assembly includes an electrostatic chuck having one or more chucking electrodes embedded therein for chucking a substrate to a substrate support surface of the electrostatic chuck; an edge ring disposed on the electrostatic chuck and surrounding the substrate support strike; two or more radio frequency (RF) power sources coupled to the edge ring and at least one of a baseplate disposed beneath the electrostatic chuck or an electrode disposed in the electrostatic chuck; a matching network coupling the edge ring to the two or more RF power sources; and an RF circuit coupling the edge ring to the two or more RF power sources, the RF circuit configured to simultaneously tune at least one of an RF amplitude or an RF phase of respective signals of the two or more RF power sources.
