Abstract
A processing system comprises a chamber body, a substrate support and a lid assembly. The substrate support is located in the chamber body and comprises a first electrode. The lid assembly is positioned over the chamber body and defines a processing volume. The lid assembly comprises a faceplate, a second electrode positioned between the faceplate and the chamber body, and an insulating member positioned between the second electrode and the processing volume. A power supply system is coupled to the first electrode and the faceplate and is configured to generate a plasma in the processing volume.
