Described processing chambers may include a chamber housing at least partially defining an interior region of a semiconductor processing chamber. The chamber may include a showerhead positioned within the chamber housing, and the showerhead may at least partially divide the interior region into a remote region and a processing region in which a substrate can be contained. The chamber may also include an inductively coupled plasma source positioned between the showerhead and the processing region. The inductively coupled plasma source may include a conductive material within a dielectric material.
