Embodiments of the present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for processing substrates using plasma. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a plasma processing chamber having an electrode coupled to a plurality of RF returning straps, wherein impedance of the RF returning straps are set and/or adjusted to tune the plasma distribution during processing. In one embodiment, impedance of RF returning straps varies by changing length of the RF returning straps, by changing width of the RF returning straps, by changing spacing of the RF returning straps, by changing location of the RF returning straps, by adding a capacitor to the RF returning straps, or by combinations thereof. |
