Abstract

Embodiments of the inventive technology may be a plasma system that comprises a coil powered by a power source so as to generate or enhance a plasma in a process chamber; and a dielectric form that itself is established within the process chamber and that defines an internal volume in which at least a portion of a coil is established. In various embodiments, the dielectric form has two ends supported by at least one support member at two support sites and/or has a form centerline in a system with a substrate support adapted to support a substrate with a process surface that defines a process surface plane that is parallel the form centerline.
