Abstract

Various embodiments include an apparatus to filter radio-frequencies in a plasma-based processing device. In various embodiments, an RF filter device includes a number of substantially-planar spiral-filters electrically coupled to and substantially parallel to each other in a spaced-apart arrangement. In one embodiment, each of the planar spiral-filters is coupled to an adjacent one of the planar spiral filters as either an inside-to-inside electrical connection or an outside-to-outside electrical connection based on an arrangement of the successive spirals so as to increase a total value of inductance. Other methods, devices, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed.
