Abstract:
In a plasma processing method, a substrate is loaded onto a substrate electrode within a chamber, the substrate having an object layer to be etched thereon. A plasma generating power output is applied to form plasma within the chamber. A first bias power output is applied to the substrate electrode to perform a first etch stage on the object layer. A second bias power output having a nonsinusoidal voltage waveform is applied to the substrate electrode to perform a second etch stage on the object layer.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein applying the first bias power output to the substrate electrode comprises generating first ion energy on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and applying the second bias power output to the substrate electrode comprises generating second ion energy less than the first ion energy on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
