Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a lid suitable for use in a semiconductor processing chamber. The lid includes a plurality of dielectric windows coupled to a perforated faceplate. The lid also includes a plurality of support members coupled to the perforated faceplate and positioned between adjacent dielectric windows. The lid further includes a plurality inductive couplers. One or more of the inductive couplers includes a first lower portion, a second lower portion, and a bridge. The bridge is disposed over at least one of the plurality of support members. The first lower portion is positioned on a first dielectric window of the plurality of dielectric windows. The second lower portion is positioned on a second dielectric window of the plurality of dielectric windows. The second dielectric window is adjacent to the first dielectric window.
