It controls the output phase of multiple RF power sources consistently.
For one reference signal, it controls the load voltage phase of two RF power supplies and matching devices, allowing each phase to be controlled by selecting either open-loop (feedforward control) or closed-loop (feedback control).
- Open-loop (feedforward control)
The phase is measured and controlled on the RF power supply side. General phase shifters use this method.
- Closed-loop (feedback control)
The phase is measured and fed back from a location closer to the plasma, specifically at the output end of the matching device. Compared to conventional methods, this allows for more accurate phase control.
