Abstract
A window of a plasma processing chamber. The window includes a first dielectric portion having a first electrical thickness and a first resistivity to an etching plasma that is formed within the plasma processing chamber. There is further included a second dielectric portion disposed within the first dielectric portion. The second dielectric portion has a second electrical thickness that is less than the first electrical thickness. The second dielectric portion is formed of a substantially transparent material and has a second resistivity to the etching plasma. The second resistivity is higher than the first resistivity.
