Abstract:
Systems and methods for tuning to reduce reflected power in multiple states are described. The methods include determining values of one or more parameters of an impedance matching circuit so that reflected power is reduced for multiple states. Such a reduction in the reflected power increases a life of a radio frequency generator coupled to the impedance matching circuit while simultaneously processing a substrate using the multiple states.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method comprising:\n supplying, by a radio frequency (RF) generator, power during a first state of a digital pulsed signal to a plasma chamber via an impedance matching circuit; receiving a measurement of an amount of power reflected at an output of the RF generator during the first state; supplying, by the RF generator, power during a second state of the digital pulsed signal to the plasma chamber via the impedance matching circuit; receiving a measurement of an amount of power reflected at the output of the RF generator during the second state; and controlling a parameter of the impedance matching circuit to reduce the amount of power measured during the first state to a minimum and to reduce the amount of power measured during the second state to a minimum.
