Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for characterizing asymmetry effects caused by cathode designs, ESC designs, cable routing, and process chamber geometries are provided. Such apparatuses, systems, and techniques may include, for example, a rotatable RF probe assembly in physical contact to a conductive plate disposed on a surface of a pedestal.
