Abstract

See full text

A method for performing a plasma etch process is provided. The method initiates with receiving a substrate into a chamber. A high frequency (HF) RF signal is generated, said HF RF signal being pulsed in at least a three-state cycle including a first state, a second state, and a third state. The first state is configured at a first power level; the second state is configured at a second power level less than the first power level; and, the third state is configured at a third power level less than the second power level. The second power level of the HF RF signal being in the range of about 0 W to 3500 W. The HF RF signal is applied to an electrode of the chamber for performing the plasma etch process.
