Abstract
A plasma impedance matching unit for a plasma power supply system includes a first power connector for coupling the matching unit to a RF power source, a second power connector for coupling the matching unit to a plasma load, a data link interface for directly coupling the matching unit to another plasma impedance matching unit via a data link, and a controller configured to control the matching unit to match an impedance from the first power connector to an impedance at the second power connector, to operate as a master for at least one other impedance matching unit and/or at least one RF power source of the plasma power supply system, and to communicate via the data link interface with the at least one other impedance matching unit and/or the at least one RF power source of the plasma power supply system.
