Abstract:
Systems and methods for multi-level pulsing of a parameter and multi-level pulsing of a frequency of a radio frequency (RF) signal are described. The RF signal is applied to a substrate support via a match. The parameter is pulsed from a low level to a high level while the frequency is pulsed from a low level to a high level. In addition, a direct current (DC) parameter is applied to the substrate support or another RF signal is applied to an upper electrode. The parameter and the frequency of the RF signal applied to the substrate support are simultaneously pulsed with the DC parameter or the RF signal applied to the upper electrode to increase a rate of processing a wafer, to increase mask selectivity, and to reduce angular spread of ions within a plasma chamber.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising pulsing the second parameter level of the RF signal to achieve a third parameter level of the RF signal.
