Abstract

The invention provides a method, for processing a substrate. The substrate is placed in a chamber, where the chamber comprises a substrate holder within the chamber and a dielectric window forming a side of the chamber. A gas is provided into the chamber. An antenna is used to generate an azimuthally symmetric electric field. A substantially azimuthally symmetric plasma is formed from the gas using the azimuthally symmetric electric field. A substantially uniform process rate is produced across a surface of a substrate.
