Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling a process applied to a substrate within a plasma chamber are described. The systems and methods include generating and supplying odd harmonic signals and summing the odd harmonic signals to generate an added signal. The added signal is supplied to an electrode within the plasma chamber for processing the substrate. The use of odd harmonic signals facilitates high aspect ratio etching of the substrate.

Claim (Index 11):
A radio frequency (RF) generator comprising:\n a first odd harmonic RF power supply configured to generate an n th  harmonic RF signal, wherein n is an odd number; a second odd harmonic RF power supply configured to generate an (n+2) th  harmonic RF signal; a variable adjuster coupled to the second odd harmonic RF power supply, wherein the variable adjuster is configured to adjust a variable of the (n+2) th  harmonic RF signal to output an adjusted (n+2) th  harmonic RF signal; a first impedance matching circuit coupled to the first odd harmonic RF power supply, wherein the first impedance matching circuit is configured to receive the n th  harmonic RF signal for outputting an n th  modified harmonic RF signal; a second impedance matching circuit coupled to the variable adjuster, wherein the second impedance matching circuit is configured to receive the adjusted (n+2) th  harmonic RF signal to output an (n+2) th  modified harmonic RF signal; an adder coupled to the first impedance matching circuit and the second impedance matching circuit, wherein the adder is configured to add the n th  modified harmonic RF signal with the (n+2) th  modified harmonic RF signal to generate an added RF signal.
