Abstract:
Systems and methods controlling ion energy within a plasma chamber are described. One of the systems includes an upper electrode coupled to a sinusoidal RF generator for receiving a sinusoidal signal and a nonsinusoidal RF generator for generating a nonsinusoidal signal. The system further includes a power amplifier coupled to the nonsinusoidal RF generator. The power amplifier is used for amplifying the nonsinusoidal signal to generate an amplified signal. The system includes a filter coupled to the power amplifier. The filter is used for filtering the amplified signal using a filtering signal to generate a filtered signal. The system includes a chuck coupled to the filter. The chuck faces at least a portion of the upper electrode and includes a lower electrode. The lower electrode is used for receiving the filtered signal to facilitate achieving ion energy at the chuck to be between a lower threshold and an upper threshold.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the amplification level of the second series of pulses is lower than the amplification level of the first series of pulses, wherein the amplification level of the first series of pulses is a peak-to-peak magnitude of the first series of pulses, wherein the amplification level of the second series of pulses is a peak-to-peak magnitude of the second series of pulses.
