Abstract:
A plasma processing apparatus includes a plasma processing chamber, a substrate support disposed in the plasma processing chamber and including a lower electrode, an upper electrode disposed above the substrate support, a first RF signal generator coupled to the lower electrode and configured to generate a first RF signal, the first RF signal having a first power level during a first state in a repetition period, a second power level less than the first power level during a second state in the repetition period, and the second power level during a third state in the repetition period, and a second RF signal generator coupled to the lower electrode and configured to generate a second RF signal, the second RF signal having a third power level during the first state, a fourth power level greater than the third power level during the second state, and the third power level.
